I especially like the consistency of presentation in the candidates CVs, which aids fair comparison of skills and experience. I also particularly valued Ben's assessment of each candidate with traits and current circumstances that wouldn't be apparent from the CVs.

I worked with Ben and I have to say it was the best experience of a recruitment agency that I have had. Ben kept in touch when he said he would and provided help, advice and feedback at all stages. When I first sent my CV in for this job, he said it had been filled but he would keep me on file for anything else. He then rang back a few days later to say it had come free again, which was great. Ben is very easy to chat to, didn't make me feel like I was asking stupid questions and put me at ease with regard to the interview.

They take time to understand what you need and know the Kent market better than most. Would thoroughly recommend - I know they’re always a phone call away if I need anything - sometimes even just for a catch up!
Reliable and honest are the terms that come to mind when I think of Becky!

Reliable and honest are the terms that come to mind when I think of Becky!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Becky for 5 years now, during which time Becky has helped develop my career as I transitioned from accounting practice into industry. Becky is also my go-to when I am finding staff to hire and has found me, several employees, over the past few years. Above all, I can trust Becky to listen to my needs and always deliver a great job opportunity or top-quality candidate. Delivering quality over quantity, Becky makes the job hunting/hiring process exciting, stress-free, and personal, thanks in part to her likable honest personality. Reliable and honest are the terms that come to mind when I think if Becky!
Becky is a great recruiter, amazingly reliable, never lets me down, and always takes me out for lunch! I have and will continue to recommend Becky to anyone who will listen.

The approach taken by Cobb & Jones is far more personal and targeted than is often the norm and I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend the firm generally and Becky and Sarah personally.

She has an unparalleled appreciation for the market and for specific role requirements, which ensures that she places the right candidate into the right home, ultimately benefiting the individual and company alike. Personally I’ve only ever felt she had my best interests at heart which has enabled me to progress at the right pace in the right environment. She and the team at Cobb & Jones couldn’t come more highly recommended.
Cobb & Jones were really professional, friendly service provided. I was made to feel comfortable throughout the whole recruitment process. I would highly recommend.

I have been fortunate enough to have had Becky's help over the years not only with finding a role that was right for me but also finding the right candidates to put forward for interview when I've been looking to fill a vacancy in my team.
Having been a jobseeker with Becky I know that she will only suggest roles to candidates that are relevant to them and their skill sets. This is so refreshing because I know that she has listened to and understood my requirements and as such a lot of the hard work of candidate screening has already been done for me.
I would strongly recommend Cobb & Jones both as a prospective candidate and as an employer looking to fill a vacancy.
Thank you for all your help!

Joanne has helped me a couple of times to find new work, always committed and true to her word.
She advised me on several aspects of job hunting which made my job search successful both times. She turned my anxiety into positive which gave me the confidence that I needed. Always professional and keen to help.
I don't think I could have done it without her.
Our organisation recently required 3 new Accounts team members following a restructure. Craig at Cobb & Jones Recruitment sent us only good quality candidate CVs, which had clearly been vetted for suitability; and was both efficient with booking interviews and following up with offers.

Craig in particular will always respond to my “This is urgent” emails. I often find that I’m having to fill roles with Finance quickly. It takes time to hand things over and so the quicker I can get someone in, the better. And Craig knows this and understands how important it is. Not just send me CV’s, but to send me the right CV’s. He is always good to follow up after placement too, both with myself and the candidates he’s placed.
I will continue using Cobb & Jones and very happy to continue having Craig as my contact there.
