    We’ve worked with Guy and the team at MorePeople for a long time and trust them to take care of some of our more senior recruitment needs. When a new and senior position was identified with very sensitive disclosure demands, we were very happy that Sarah was assigned to the project. Sarah was thorough in gaining the correct information to research candidates and sensitive to the contextual needs of the project. Over a long period of many discussions and interviews, the shortlisting process went very well and communications were strong the whole way through, resulting in what we believe to be a very good appointment and outcome, with the right candidate in place for that long-term position.

    ​My experience with MorePeople Recruitment has been top-notch. Stanley has made it personal, supportive, and stress-free, from getting to know me beyond the CV to cheering me on through every step. It felt like having an advocate who genuinely cared, which boosted my confidence, and that confidence boost made all the difference. No cover letters, no endless applications, just a real connection. A* service all the way. Thank you.

    ​Kieran was very helpful throughout the recruitment process for my new grower role. He sent me a lot of information about the company that I was applying for, ahead of my interviews and gave me some heads up on what interview questions to expect. This made me much more confident going into these interviews. He did a fantastic job liaising with my new employer regarding my pay and conditions, and I am in a better place now, thanks to Morepeople and Kieran.

    ​Sarah was an absolute godsend from the very start and throughout my job-seeking process. She proved an invaluable asset. She was there at every stage, assisting with everything from my CV to employer-requested PowerPoints. She helped negotiate contracts and cross-country moves.Sarah has seen me through two job moves and I couldn’t recommend her or MorePeople more. Communication was consistent and clear, follow-ups were prompt and meaningful, and I truly felt like I had a professional in my corner. Every time I spoke to Sarah, it was as though I was her only client – a wonderfully supportive experience throughout: I highly recommend Sarah and her services.

    ​I would like to commend Kieran for his support and time in first bringing to my attention an exciting opportunity, but also the way he presented it to me, giving me time to consider and reflect between our conversations. Through the whole process, he was supportive, communicated the required information, and made the whole process stress-free. As a business, Morepeople have not bombarded me with roles over the years, and very selectively and discretely contacted me when the right opportunities in my area of career development have arisen. I would recommend them to anyone in the industry looking for a new opportunity.

    ​Working with MorePeople has been an incredibly positive experience, and I can't thank Sarah enough for the support she gave me throughout the process of finding my new role in agronomy. From the very beginning, Sarah went above and beyond. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for, gave me honest, thoughtful advice, and handled the finer details with complete professionalism. She stayed in touch, checking in during my notice period and making sure everything was on track. It felt like I had someone genuinely in my corner from start to finish, and that made such a difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah and the team at MorePeople to anyone looking to make a move within the agriculture or horticulture sector, they really do care and it shows

    ​I have a long association with Morepeople and have used them to source and recruit for multiple businesses over the years. Recently, I have worked closely with Kieran to help me recruit for new positions at our recently acquired nurseries. We are delighted with the candidate we placed at our Yorkshire site, who has given us a great start to our production. Kieran sourced us several strong applicants and was great to deal with throughout the recruitment. Hopefully, he scouts us a few more like her.

    ​I recently participated in an interview process mediated by MorePeople. Sarah from their team was assigned to connect me with the hiring team. As this was my first experience with such a process, I feel fortunate that Sarah provided exceptional guidance. Sarah's support has been invaluable at every stage, from assisting with requirements to preparing documents. Her dedication is evident in her willingness to offer assistance even outside regular business hours. Thanks to her unwavering support, I have accepted a new role. I am deeply appreciative of Sarah's professionalism, understanding, and expert guidance. Her contributions have been instrumental in my journey, and I cannot overstate my gratitude for her outstanding assistance.

    ​For me and the team at Biobest UK, we really appreciate the down-to-earth approach. Whether that’s general communication or confirming job specifications. We are the specialists in Bugs and IPM, MorePeople are the specialists in People and Jobs! They know their sphere and Sarah has, taken to the time to understand our business, our needs, our ethos, and the candidate’s selection reflects this. This means we can as a business concentrate on what we do best. That’s why we work with Sarah and the team at MorePeople.
