My experience with Luan at MorePeople was excellent from initial phone call about a role I was interested in to accepting an offer and starting work. She took the time to actually listen to me regarding my experience and what I was looking for and put me forward for a great opportunity. It was a very streamlined application and interview process and she checked in with me before and after each interview to make sure everyone was still aligned. I've dealt with a lot of recruiters before and always just felt like another number, but Luan actually takes the time to listen and found the perfect fit for me. Would absolutely recommend Luan and MorePeople for helping find a suitable role for anyone in this industry.

After explaining what I was looking for in the next chapter of my career, Luan quickly found a role that suited me. The recruitment process moved without delay; I went from a phone call with Luan to a job offer in a week and a half, and she continued to maintain contact with myself as I settled into the role. MorePeople have the benefit of genuine first-hand connections to the food industry and maintaining consistent supportive contact, making the job-finding process as low-stress as possible. Would I recommend MorePeople to others? I already have!
Joshua Candidate -
I found my recruitment experience with MorePeople and Luan to be extremely supportive and smooth. The role I was offered was actually recommended to me by MorePeople as my CV was a good match, without the recommendation, I wouldn't have the promotion and new role! Luan provided advice and really quick feedback throughout the interview process, and checked up on me whilst I was working my notice period and up to my first day. She was friendly, clear and answered all my questions.

First of all, many thanks for your full support. What can I say, you and the company you represent have been excellent. You keep people close, updating them often about any new opportunities based on their values, and aim to get the right job for the right person. You offer full support in order to prepare for interviews, and most importantly, confidentiality is at the top. Even after I took the job you continuously get in touch for feedback, which is really nice, showing real interest in knowing your clients, candidates and companies. Many thanks for your services. I would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a new opportunity in their career.

Can't recommend enough Luan of MorePeople. She managed to secure a job interview same day I enquire about the role and felt well looked after and supported all throughout the process. Luan gave me lots of good advice and her response times been always quick and prompt. I can truly say that she met and exceeded all my expectations. Thank you, Luan!

"After over 20 years in my last position, it came as a huge shock when the doors were finally closed. Having never looked for a new job in this time, let alone gone through an interview process, I was in need of some guidance. Luan was not just guidance, but an inspiration who made me feel comfortable and confident on my way to finding a new work home. It's early days, but so far so good, and Luan has continued to check in with me to see how it is going. Hopefully, I won't need your help again Luan, but if I ever need to move on I know who to call first. The Florence Nightingale of the recruitment world".

It was great working with The Technical team, they make it so much easier as they totally understand our world. This way we get to see some great candidates- who absolutely know what they are applying for. The team are knowledgeable, humble and polite. This way of working is a winning combination - thank you.
Kristine Hampton Head of NPD -
I have greatly enjoyed working with MorePeople on finding a talented developer for Blue Skies. Always quick to respond (and quick to chase when I am being slow) they have really come up trumps with a number of excellent candidates – leading to a future star joining us. Having worked in the sector, the team's knowledge of the challenges and requirements are superb, giving us insight into the type of person we needed but also helping us to refine and perfect the process right the way from brief through to appointment.
Mark Crawford Global Sales & Marketing Director -
What I found most beneficial about MorePeople's service is how little time I needed to invest in the process - they are easy to deal with, low maintenance and were able to understand the brief with little input and got to work straight away, all with minimal effort from myself. Due to the level of knowledge, experience and expertise MorePeople has, Luan was able to provide us with a good quality short list of candidates we could move forward with, without flooding us with CVs. I would definitely recommend MorePeople for an effortless yet expert approach to recruitment.
Dean Holroyd Group Technical and Sustainability Director -
"Luan Harrison was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, giving me frequent and useful updates without me having to chase for information. She helped me with practising using Teams as I was not 100% with sharing my screen and connecting using my personal account as a guest. Luan checked in to see how my first day went, which was really lovely."
Shannon Hasbury Candidate -
“I was really impressed with the communication that was maintained with MorePeople throughout the whole process. Luan Harrison was in regular contact to keep me informed with open and honest feedback about how the candidate search was progressing. In terms of the calibre of candidates that were put forward for the role, I felt that Luan fully understood what we were looking for, hence why we ended up interviewing them all! Having also engaged the services of another recruiter to help fill this role, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MorePeople as, in our experience, nobody else delivers as well. They are our ‘go to’ recruiter.”
