Sam is absolutely fantastic as a recruiter. She found me a great position as a Recruitment Consultant.  Coming from a Healthcare recruiter background and other industries she was able to quickly and efficiently get me interviews in a very short turn around resulting in me getting a pass and landing me an offer I could not refuse!  Thanks so much Sam, you are brilliant!!!

I recommend Paul, he was helpful every step of the process into getting my new job role. Always there for detailed advice and ensuring I had as many opportunities as possible. Very grateful for his help.”  Claudia Howey – Candidate Aug 2022 
I couldn’t recommend Paul enough for all the help he’s given me in securing my first role in recruitment after finishing university. After one phone call he understand what I wanted and the working environment/culture I would fit in best with and managed to get me an interview with a fantastic and growing company within a week. He helped me out massively before the interview, helping me prepare and I’d say he’s a big reason I was able to go into this interview confident and prepared.    James Walkington - Candidate May 2022 
Sam is a lovely person to deal with and really listened to my recruitment needs, taking the time to understand what I was looking for meant that I am now in a company which I am happy in.

Thanks Sam.                                                            Lyndsey Murray – Senior Talent Partner – Jackson Hogg Limited April 2022 
What a pleasure working with Paul! 

It has been quite a journey relocating to the UK from South Africa, yet Paul has assisted and made it tremendously easier for me. Thank you for securing me such an amazing job opportunity in such a short span of time, all the "check-ins" and constantly making sure all is okay, even in a personal capacity. 
I can't express my appreciation for your professionalism and assistance enough. 
I would recommend you to anyone, on any given day and time.
Thank you Paul and Wilton Gilbert.

He was excellent from start to finish: he took the time to speak to me and really find out what I was looking for; he identified roles that I would be interested in and constantly kept me updated. He was very thorough and matched me to companies that he thought I would fit in. As a result of working with Paul, I have accepted an offer to work for an excellent business that I am excited to work within."

He is incredibly supportive and was heavily involved throughout the entire process, working through understanding what I was ideally looking for and finding me the right company and culture to match. I always felt like any questions or uncertainties I had were answered before I even knew what to ask! I have felt comfortable and familiar with speaking with him throughout the entire process and couldn't have asked for a better Rec2Rec. Thanks a lot again for your help!"

Harriet Mak

I had the pleasure of working with Paul during a very difficult time during a pandemic and furlough. Paul understood exactly what I was looking for and which companies would be a perfect fit. He was extremely honest and professional throughout the process and secured several interviews and found the ideal company for me which he quickly navigated through the offer and contract stages. Paul is a fantastic rec2rec and a great guy in general, would fully recommend him to any business or consultant! 

Hannah Milligan

Paul is in his own league as a recruitment professional, and has helped me secure a new role at a fantastic company who share the same values as me.  Always honest and personable, Paul has guided me through the recruitment process and imparted some sage advice along the way.  If you are thinking about your next career move, I can’t recommend Paul enough. He is a top bloke and walks tall above other rec2rec’s. Thank you again!

Anne-Elizabeth White

Paul, firstly is a top quality guy. I've known him for 10 years when we both worked at Adecco from afar. He was always there for advice, whether it be consultants or his fellow branch managers looking for help with challenging situations. 
Nothing has changed. I unfortunately for the 1st time in my career found myself in a situation of redundancy, Paul not only messaged and kept in touch offering me advice but gave me inside knowledge and went above and beyond to help me secure a role pretty much straight away. 
Although he didn't actually place me in my role I can't recommend the guy high enough, if you're a candidate looking for work or looking for your next challenge or a client looking for advice or to hire, he is the man for the job. Knows his market, knows his role and extremely professional and helpful in every situation.
Keep up the good work mate.

John Lamond

Paul has been excellent to work with and was instrumental in finding me the right role. He is super efficient and was able to provide constant updates and feedback. Very knowledgeable of the R2R market and has been a pleasure to work with.

Ashton Carter-Ridgway

I got in touch with Paul after he’d messaged me quite some time ago, when I wasn’t looking for an opportunity, and his professionalism had stuck with me. Paul listened to exactly what I was looking for and, in less than 48 hours, I had telephone calls set up with 3 great companies, all of which would have been fantastic to work for. Paul fully briefed me on each of the companies and he really listened to what was a priority for me, feedback was given quickly and Paul helped me to make a final decision with a company that matches my values and is exactly what I’d been looking for. In short, I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone!

Louise Hughes

After the turbulence of 2020, Paul was certainly a reassuring Rec2Rec to work with. I was informed of my incoming redundancy and saw a role Paul had advertised and reached out and I was not disappointed. Paul met me and talked through my CV in great detail understanding everything I had done, wanted to do and where I wanted to take my career in the future. Within 24 hours Paul had found several companies that ticked off all my boxes and subsequently had me interviewing at all locations he had sent my CV to. Throughout he was great, guiding me on the interviews and what each client was looking for and how they matched what I was looking for. I never felt ignored or not important as his client and he was extremely helpful throughout allowing me to find a great position with a great team. I would 100% recommend Paul to any recruiter looking for a new position, you will not be disappointed.

Bethan Wallis

Paul was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable on what the client were looking for thus was able to give great advice and and field any questions.Moreover he managed the process very smoothly from start to finish. It has been great working with Paul and I would recommend his service!

Seadna Finnegan

Paul’s understanding and attention to detail is second to none. Even in these challenging times that we’re currently in he found a job that can offer exactly what I’m looking for. He kept me up to date on a daily/weekly basis till everything was finalised. Thanks very much Paul couldn’t be happier!

Bastiaan Blasgraaf

Simply put, Paul Karter gave me the best recruitment experience I could wish for, not only is he a genuinely stand up guy, but he also meticulously manages all of the questions and concerns I have had during my process. An excellent recruiter with a fantastic approach. No pressure, warm, funny and also someone I will definitely go for a cold one with!

Nathan Hesketh

I was really pleased with Paul's service. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in my next move and managed to help me find the right opportunity. He managed the entire process very professionally, always providing useful advice. If you are looking for your next move, I would highly recommend that you get in touch with him.

Liam Viagas

I contacted Paul the afternoon I was made redundant, he forwarded my profile to an organisation he felt I would be a great fit for despite there not being a ‘live vacancy’. The following day I had a telephone interview & only a week later an offer, which I was more than happy to accept!Paul understood my needs and the needs of his client, I look forward to my new position and this next step in my career. Thanks again Paul!

Louise Pinder

Paul was the first call I made after receiving the news I was being made redundant from Fivethree7 and quite quickly I realised it was one of the most important calls I’ve made in my career to date. He listened to what I was looking for, provided options and helped me shape out what a next move should look like for somebody with my experience, giving me confidence to take a step up in my career.Within 48 hours of meeting Paul I had found a new home with an offer signed and sealed in one of the slickest process’ I’ve seen in my career, this was down to Paul’s support and contacts within the Recruitment world.I can’t recommend Paul enough and would suggest any recruiter looking for a move reaches out to him to understand for themselves what a good rec2rec is all about.

David Thomas

Paul was great to deal with. Key thing for me is always communication and keeping everyone informed and up to date. Even if there was no movement, he showed he hadn't forgotten about you. Listened to what I wanted and only looked for that, not pushing roles he wanted to fill that would not be of interest. A great guy, easy to talk to and highly recommended.

Andrew Lockey

Paul has recently placed me into my new role with Bolt Jobs and from our initial conversation to starting work Paul was with me every step of the way. Paul took the time to ensure he knew exactly what I was looking for to ensure the clients he put me forward for were the right fit. I was fully prepared and supported for each interview and I could not be happier in my new role. I would recommend Paul to anyone in the industry looking for a new role or any client looking for their next hire.

Sarah Niblo

I would like to thank Paul for his quick work in helping me find my next role. I was recommended to Paul via a friend and he was straight in contact with me. Listened to what I wanted and didn't want and didn't try to sway me from this. he understood my sector which helped. He arranged an interview the following day and I was offered that day . Very professional and followed things up with an email so I knew exactly what was happening. Thanks so much Paul ! If you are thinking of changing roles or would just like to know what is out there then give him a call.

Clare Wilson

Would highly recommend Paul. Great guy, great service. 10/10

Bobby Badnall

I am not usually a fan of rec2rec agencies, however, I read another recruiter’s glowing recommendation and decided to get in touch. My experience with Paul has been fantastic. He is open, honest, and extremely down to earth making it easy to open to him. Thank you, Paul. For the hours we've spent talking on the phone. For listening, for taking time to understand what it is I was looking for and approaching a company that was a very good fit for me. I would not hesitate in recommending Paul to either a recruiter or hirer.

Danielle Roberts

Paul was a great help in finding me work. he talked me through the employer and give me tips and advise on how to land my perfect role. Paul was professional and kind and put me at ease and was very supportive throughout the whole process! I would recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for work.

Sam Binks

I cannot thank Paul enough for the amazing support and service he has provided both myself and colleagues over the past week and a half. Within a couple of hours of discussing the requirements for my next role Paul had secured a interview for me with a recruitment company in Newcastle who have a fantastic reputation and have over 40 years experience. I have now secured that role and can't thank Paul enough for all his hard work. If you are looking for a rec to rec who will listen, support you and keep you informed please connect with Paul.
I can not recommend him enough.

Lyndsey Temple

After the shock of being made redundant I contacted Paul to see what opportunities he had available. Paul immediately gave me a call and we had a chat about what my ideal job was. Paul is professional and put me at ease straight away because I was nervous and still a little bit shocked that I would be in this position. A few hours later Paul had literally found me the ideal job in an industry I was really excited about and I had a telephone interview that same day. With Paul’s encouragement and support, 3 days after being made redundant I have accepted an offer with a great company and I am looking forward to the future. I would recommend Paul to anybody now and I am so grateful that Paul went above and beyond to get me the right role.

Deborah Carey

This is the third time i have used a REC-2-REC and can safely say that PK have been the standout company. The service from start to finish has been exceptional, extremely fluid and comprehensive. I would highly recommend utilising Paul's service if you are unhappy in your current role as Paul will find the company for you!

Jay Stone

I can’t recommend Paul highly enough. Listened to what I wanted, not just out of a new role, but also what type of company and environment I was looking for. Always on hand to offer advice and guidance prior to interview but also keen to get feedback from my side. If you are a recruiter looking for a new role, then I’d definitely advise you to get in touch with Paul.

Phil Holmes

Paul provides an excellent service. He works with you to provide you with the information to be able to put your best foot forward. He is always available for a chat to help, support and advise in the best possible manner. Paul is an individual who cares and it shows, with the high quality service he provides.

Taahir Patel

I have worked with Paul over the last 3/4 months whilst looking for a role that fits into my other commitments. Throughout the process Paul has ensured he fully understands me and my expectations and kept in contact no matter what time of day. It’s been refreshing to work with a recruiter who puts the applicant first! Thank you for all your support and advice.

Janine Sharland

Paul is a fantastic professional to work with, not only took the time to get to know me but also my situation, down to the tiniest bits of information that I'd love about a company. Always kind and open, he will always take the time to listen and then give his honest outlook on a situation, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Paul for anyone who is looking for work! If I found myself looking for work again I wouldn't hesitate to contact him first.

Georgia Carr

I can't speak highly enough about the work Paul put in to help me secure me my dream job - I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone within the recruitment sector.From our initial conversation he took the time to understand my situation, and worked closely with me at all stages of interviews, offers etc. To say he went above & beyond....this guy was in touch almost daily even while he was on holiday! The whole process was a partnership from day 1.Thanks again Paul

Karl Roberts

I find Paul to be very engaging, dependable and high in integrity. He identified a suitable company and I have been successfully placed into a new and exciting position. He is very effective at his job and it’s a pleasure to recommend him as an accomplished recruiting professional. Thanks again. Katy

Katy Murray

I worked with Paul Karter for nearly 10 years, mainly during my employment at Adecco. Paul increased my skill set over these years and supported me with various training programs and work shops whilst we both worked at Adecco. He trusted me to manage one of his branches largest commercial accounts. Recently I found myself looking for employment and Paul contacted me immediately with an option of various roles which would suit my skill set. Throughout the recruitment process Paul kept me updated with information and roles with potential employers. After only 2 days of having my CV he secured me an interview, which has resulted in my securing a permanent job with an excellent recruitment company. I'm back doing what I love based in the industrial sector and couldn't be happier. The aftercare I have received is amazing and I can't thank Paul enough for supporting me once again ! I would highly recommend Paul for his gold standard service and would not hesitate to contact him should my circumstances change.

Amy Laidler

Paul initially contacted me regarding a role and after a day of talking had arranged interviews with a few companies. He really listened to what I was looking for. we spoke almost everyday (even when he was on holiday!) to make sure everything was moving forward. I have now secured an amazing role with an amazing company. Paul is an absolute professional, but above all a decent chap. I would encourage anyone in the industry who is looking for their next chapter, to speak with Paul. Wonderful service from start to finish. Thank you once again!

Tom Wiper

I whole heartily endorse Paul as a Rec2Rec Recruiter. He listened to what I was ideally searching for in my next role and he really fished for what the right opportunity looked like. I was quite specific on what I wanted and Paul gave me a number of options to consider. He asked sensible questions and kept in touch with me at each step of the way which was important for interview preparation. I’m now in my new position and Paul consistently checks in as part of aftercare to see how I am progressing if I need anything. Thanks again Paul and more than happy to recommend anyone in my network given the chance.

Andrew Mcleod

I highly recommend Paul when looking for your next opportunity. What separates him from other Rec2Rec consultants is the fact that he goes the extra mile by meeting with you face to face (including outside office hours) and consults with you every step of the process, putting yours and his clients needs first.His aftercare is also exceptional once again "keeping that contact when he says he will." Thanks for your help Paul and keep doing Rec2Rec right!

Adam Pearson

I have known Paul for quite some time. He is professional, honest and has a great understanding of the local marketplace. His strengths are relationships, people and knowing the 'fit'. He approached me about a new opportunity and from start to finish the service was outstanding. I highly recommend Paul whether you're a client looking to hire new talent or if you're a consultant considering your next move. He is a trusted adviser who will deliver.

Nichola Saul

Paul sets himself apart from his competitors with his full understanding of both candidate and client requirements. He was personable throughout, as well as professional and extremely knowledgeable. In my time of need he very openly and honestly discussed the culture of his clients and knew exactly where my best fit would be. I have no hesitation in recommending PK as a top notch Rec2Rec as he went above and beyond to find the opportunity of a lifetime for me. I'm absolutely blown away with how quickly he had interviews lined up for me. He definitely put the 'consult' into consulting. I couldn’t have felt more supported as he had a full understanding of my situation, motivators and ideal role. I'm really excited to start my new journey and can’t thank Paul - enough for his overwhelming support and guidance.

Sam Taylor

Thanks to Paul I have secured my first role within education recruitment. Paul has provided me with the support to start my career after graduating, helping me prepare for interviews and build knowledge on progression. I would recommend his services to anyone. I am excited to start my new Journey.. thanks again Paul!

Paige Robinson

Having never worked with a Rec2Rec and being very cautious to do so, I called Paul on the basis of a recommendation and he was wonderful. Always had time to speak with me, asked me who I wanted to work with and within a short space of time he had arranged an interview with my employer of choice. I have now secured a new role with a company who I aspired to work with. Service excellence with a smile and honest discussions, I would recommend Paul without hesitation. Thank you so much for finding my perfect job.

Claire Chapman

Paul was so helpful throughout the whole process from start to finish. On our first meeting he gave me a detailed description and understanding of the role. He was really supportive and made me feel at ease for all stages of meeting my potential employers. I really appreciated him keeping in touch with me all the way through, it made me feel like he really cared about me getting the job and not just filling in the numbers! Thanks for everything Paul!
