Fortunately, Principal People understood my needs and expectations, they gave me the opportunity to attend an interview with one of their leading clients. I’m now working in an ideal role and would recommend anyone looking for career progression in Health and Safety to contact Principal People.”

“I had reached a point in my career where I wanted a change from my previous path to something new, where I would be able to develop new skills and grow as a person whilst still meet the financial needs of my family and I knew that I needed to find a suitable recruitment and employment agency to help me find my next career step, and I was fortunate enough to see the details of Principal People in the IOSH magazine, and even more fortunate to work with Mark Burton as my Consultant. Principal People knows the Health and Safety job market intimately and took the time to determine who I was as a person and what I was looking for before looking to see what opportunities he could offer to me.
It was a refreshing experience, as they always made the effort to help me to find the right opportunity for me, prioritising what would fulfil my needs and permit me to be happy in my work, rather than looking to generate the greatest income or providing his employer clients with a quota of candidates. We developed a genuinely friendly relationship in which I knew that their main concern was for me to find the right job for me and my future. In my dealings with Mark I knew that he was dedicated to his work, and he is one of very few professional contacts I have known who always kept his word (calling back as promised, providing further details when requested, etc).
We have just had a very successful recruitment campaign with Principal People. They were very professional, dedicated and provided an excellent level of service.”

“I have been lucky enough to have worked with Principal People over a number of years both from a client's perspective and also as an employment candidate (both employed status and also self employed.)
From a clients perspective I found them to be most helpful in establishing a short list of candidates. During the whole process, from initial enquiry through to supplying candidates for interview and follow up enquiry, I was impressed by the courtesy and efficiency I experienced. The matter was conducted smoothly and the candidates matched our person specification and experience requirements. Other agencies were approached but the company selected one of Principal People's candidates for the post.
As a candidate looking for a permanent position I found that the help in establishing whether a particular vacancy suited both my aspirations and qualifications, or indeed whether it was thought that the company searching would like me, was most useful. I am happy to say that I was successful in my search and spent three years in post with the employer found through Principal People. The rewards were better than I had expected with a larger than anticipated salary!! Having left my employer last October I started my own Consultancy, Greystones Safety Consultants Ltd. I am pleased to say that through Principal People we have managed to secure a lengthy contract and several other shorter term consultancy opportunities. The quality of these has been superb with city investment banks and large corporate legal firms featuring amongst them. Invoices are always paid promptly.
I have tried other employment agencies in the past but have not come across such a high standard of service from other similar sized competitors. I am looking forward to continuing our association with Principal People for the foreseeable future. I certainly have been impressed and delighted with the service I have received and look forward to it continuing. “
