    ​To anyone looking for a Recruitment Manager to manage for you – look no further than Alex. I’ve been in the food industry for more years now than I can remember – and in that time I used a few recruitment professionals – but none so far are at the top of the game like Alex. He very quickly in my recent search went above and beyond my expectations, to find me exactly what we needed – and right first time! From the first Teams call to offer letter – absolutely first class at every level.Not only that – he’s very in tune with industry and we are able regularly to catch up and horizon scan laterally which is great. No issue at all in recommending Alex – thanks for all the help, support and first class delivery over the last few years.

    ​Our relationship with MorePeople has been ongoing for some years. We have had the pleasure of working across many functions that their business has to offer, whilst building existing and brand-new teams. MorePeople have always provided us with a good calibre of candidates and are very clear with their communication throughout processes. MorePeople genuinely integrate themselves within our business, showing sincere interest, and are always willing to guide and provide advice when we shape our recruitment strategies. MorePeople understand the culture we are building, and all candidates have a great understanding of the business operation, culture and expectations prior to the initial recruitment stages, which proves invaluable. MorePeople are an impressive, dedicated team that deliver with drive, energy, integrity and passion!

    "​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".

    ​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. ​

    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.
