Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it…Testimonials speak volumes

  • The Recruitment Room has made every effort to visit each of our 33 restaurants and meet the managers in place to gain a greater understanding of each specific site and our requirements for the profile, experience and personality for our senior team. In doing this I can be assured that every candidate introduced to me by The Recruitment Room will be of a high caliber and as a result I have recruited many members of my management

  • We have used the Recruitment room for two or three Le Bistrot Pierre restaurant openings, and exclusively for our most recent opening in Ilkley. Their local knowledge and professionalism has been incredibly helpful. The Recruitment Room’s approach to recruitment is not only professional but passionate, combined with their in-depth knowledge of the hospitality industry. They are thorough, trustful, diligent, helpful and good customers. We have a great business to business relationship with them. They have been a real help in recruiting in what are difficult locations.

  • Although The Recruitment Room is based in Leeds they have been very efficient in sourcing the right candidates for our businesses all over. The team have a good knowledge of our industry and really take the time to get to know and understand their clients. What is guaranteed about The Recruitment Room is that rather than bombarding me with CVs, they will present me with a precise shortlist after personally meeting up with the right candidates.
