Throughout the process both Alex and Laura provided valuable guidance and support ensuring I was prepared for each step of my interviews. They kept me well informed and helped make the process as stress-free as possible. They took the time to understand my career goals and skill set, and with their expertise helped match me with the perfect opportunity.

Thanks to their diligent efforts, I am now happily employed at my new company, a role that not only meets but exceeds my expectations.

I highly recommend Atkins Search to anyone seeking a new job opportunity. Their expertise and support make them the ideal partner in any job search journey.

​"I only have positive comments about my experience of Atkins Search. Olivia has helped me through each stage of the process with regular phone calls, texts, and teams meetings ensuring that I had everything I needed and was as prepared as possible. She provided me with knowledge and advice which made the experience less stressful and put me in contact with companies that I may not have considered prior to our conversation. I would not hesitate to recommend Atkins Search and in particular Olivia."

​"Great experience right from the beginning of speaking with Laura on the phone. I reached out for one position and was ultimately recommended for another, which was fantastic. I personally met Laura and we discussed all of my questions, worries, and uncertainties. Very professional, approachable, and always received positive feedback. The most significant thing I discovered throughout the entire process was that I received honesty and consistency."

"One of the best experiences I have had to date with a recruitment consultancy, from my first time engaging with Laura I felt confident that Atkins understood what I wanted in my next role and company. The process felt personal and any questions/concerns I had were answered efficiently, I really appreciated being able to meet Laura in person before attending my interviews. This greatly enabled me to understand the kind of company and people I would be being interviewed by. I would highly recommend Atkins Search and wouldn’t hesitate to contact them again in the future should the need arise for their services."

Assistant Consultant - Construction Consultancy

"Laura contacted me to see if I would be interested in moving for a new opportunity. I was interested from the start because Laura was enthusiastic and showed care and interest in what I was looking for. We discussed my needs and she matched me with my new company. Laura arranged an interview with them for me. Prior to interview Laura and I met to discuss further what they were looking for and for more information on the company. Laura rang me before and after the interview on the day to see what my thoughts were and how it had gone. A few days later I received an offer via Laura that I was happy to accept. Laura has remained in contact with me since the offer and has arranged to meet with me and the new company before I start with them at the end of October. I have worked in the recruitment sector myself and can honestly say that the service I received was superb and way above what I would expect and have experienced in the past. Laura is a credit to Atkins Search, and I would be happy to recommend her."

"The process of working with my consultant was seamless from start to finish. I approached them on LinkedIn and following a half an hour conversation, they had perfectly understood what I was looking for. They swiftly secured me an interview and was supportive during and after. My new role is great and is around the salary I expected. I cannot fault my experience with Atkins Search, it was professional and attentive.  Thanks for the experience and I hope we will cross paths again."

Assistant Building Surveyor - Construction Consultancy

"Since joining the Army from school at the age of 16, the Army is the only job I have ever had and deciding to leave was a massive step into the unknown for me. Laura has made my transition from the Army into a civilian job an incredibly smooth process and removed any anxieties I had about leaving the service.​Laura initially helped me identify a sector that would be suitable to my skillset by offering advice and feedback on my CV. This is not normally a straightforward process for ex-servicemen, as in the forces we tend to use different terminology for job roles and positions etc., however, Laura helped me draw the similarities from my current position to the one I have now been offered.  From facilitating chats with a 7-hour time difference to providing timely feedback in a professional manner, the experience I have had with my Atkins Search Consultant has far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Laura."

Laura demonstrated high levels of professionalism throughout my hiring process, she is proactive in her work as she kept on chasing all involved parties in order to sort out all outstanding issues and secure the job offer as soon as possible.

Principle Structural Engineer - Engineering Consultancy

"Considering I was not actively looking for a new role, I think Laura has done a great job in selling me this opportunity. Laura clearly knows a great deal about the company I am moving to having placed a number of individuals there and it is clear to see how connected Laura is with the Directors at the company. Communication has been excellent throughout the whole process whether it was discretely over text or phone calls or teams calls. I am sure Laura would have a number of Clients to deal with, but nothing was too much in order to help me with the process from start to finish. I have used recruitment consultants before but have never been placed by one, partly down to the role but also down to the lack of knowledge of the role and understanding of the company. Thank you very much and keep in touch!​"

Senior Project Manager - Construction Consultancy

"I was only really in the first stages of my job search when Olivia reached out to me and I’m so glad that she did! She made me feel comfortable straight away so I was really able to let her know what I was looking for. Within a few weeks of our first meeting I had an informal chat lined up with my new company of which Olivia supported me throughout. I felt fully informed following both my interview’s and Olivia was always prompt providing updates as well as assisting me with any queries that I had. Without Olivia’s broad connections and knowledge of the industry I would not be in the position to move onto pastures new and I really feel that the company that I’m joining will be not only great for my career but also I will be a great fit for them and vice versa. Olivia has been truly instrumental in ensuring that what is normally a stressful experience has been smooth sailing. So thank you so much! Hopefully I won’t need to use Atkins again but if I do they will be the only recruitment consultancy that I come to. Olivia is a credit to Atkins!!"

"Laura has been amazing throughout the whole recruitment process. From the first phone call she listened as to what type of job I was looking for and understood my aspirations for the future. At each stage she was supportive and informative about each of the potential companies who were looking for Project Managers. At times it was difficult to get hold of me due to the workloads and yet she would always email or text me to arrange a convenient time for us to catch up, whether trying to organise interviews and general updates communication between the two of us was effortless. Even when Laura had Covid-19 she still checked everything went well on my last day and wished me good luck for my new role. I can’t recommend Laura enough as she is a likeable professional individual who has provided me with a great opportunity working at my new company."
