Success stories

I would just like to say a massive thank you to Kate for placing me in my role as a Finance Business Partner! Throughout the whole process she was highly informative, helpful and understanding of what I actually wanted within my next role both career wise and industry wise.

Finance Business Partner, Charity

Ben was fantastic to work with! He took the time to really listen to my needs, wishes, and career goals, and helped me find a role that perfectly aligns with them. The position I’ve accepted and started is an excellent fit — I can already see myself thriving and being happy in this fun and supportive work environment. I’m very grateful for Ben’s guidance and professionalism throughout the process and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for their next career move.

Accounts Assistant

From the outset Dan gave a really insightful overview of the business and role which helped me understand how my experience would fit the role and business, and also the points of development for me which was very useful going into the interview stage. Dan was very supportive, gave good insights at each stage of the interview both technically and also regarding the people I’d be meeting which helped me prepare in the best way. I believe that this was key in helping me secure my role, so I’d definitely recommend Dan, and Cobb and Jones.

Senior Finance Business Partner, FMCG Business

They listened to me, I wasn't aware they could use testimonials which was a relief as the business I was with had shut down. Feed back from interviews given was always given, and if I ever felt nervous they helped me settle before heading into the interview.

Accountant, Manufacturing Company

I have worked with Daniel Gladwin for several years and he is a trusted advisor. He is always professional, always extremely proficient in matching people and has never set me up with interviews for the sake of it. We value each others time, which is massively important when choosing a recruiter.

Finance Manager, FMCG

Highly recommend Cobb & Jones Recruitment . Ben was a pleasure to work with , he was able to to move the interviewing process along quickly and gave many helpful prompts in order to ace the interview!

Accounts Assistant

Working with Joanne throughout the process of securing a graduate position has given me a sense of confidence but also has eased the process! Communication has been very helpful and professional, and the guidance provided was accurate & advantageous. Joanne’s support has allowed me to finally step into my career path as a recent graduate, despite how difficult the job market is right now

Graduate Accountant

Kate was really helpful throughout my time job searching and when an opportunity arose she was extremely informative and transparent.

Finance Analyst, FMCG

I highly recommend Cobb & Jones Recruitment. From the start, Kate was great at listening and understanding what I was looking for in a new role. Once a suitable role came up Dan contacted me and provided all relevant information. He made the process as stress free as possible, helping me to understand the business and the role requirements so that I could be successful in the interview. Throughout all stages Dan has been approachable and checked in with me regularly, including after I had started in the role. As mentioned, I will definitely recommend Cobb & Jones to others, and I would use them if I ever need to again. Thank you again!

Group Finance Manager, Construction

Joanne has always been very helpful in my job searches. Informative, friendly and professional. Definitely a positive recruitment experience!

Accounts Payable

Can highly recommend Cobb & Jones. Ben was absolutely fantastic from the minute he made contact with me, from email to phone calls. Really made me feel confident that I could secure the role…..and I did! Thanks again to Ben and the team

Credit Controller

Ben helped me secure my new role. He was great at suggesting what the role entailed and how it matched up with my similar job experience. Always there for a call if I need to ask something about the role, gave support and encouragement for following interviews which helped greatly. Overall my experience with Cobb & Jones was phenomenal. Thank you so much for working with me to secure my new position in finance!

Finance Analyst

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.

Senior Finance Business Partner, FMCG Business

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.

Finance Manager

Kate was amazing, she was very punctual in communicating any updates with me and very helpful in giving me hints and tips.

Finance Manager

Ben did a great job in finding me a multitude of different job roles that led to interviews. Kept good communication throughout the process and pushed me towards a role I had not done before which led to me finding a perfect role for me. Highly recommend!

Cobb & Jones really understood our business and the role and types of candidates I was looking for, making the entire process easy and efficient.

CFO, Financial Services business

Cobb & Jones take time to really understand the business and skillsets that each role requires, but most importantly they take time to understand the correct cultural fit for the role and have always presented excellent candidates that suit our company values.
