I have only good words for Connections Recruitment, especially for Luke Johnson. This man has followed, helped and guided me through a career change in the middle of a pandemic! (and we all know how hard and stressful this can be!) I have now my dream job thanks to him!
He's always so positive and enthusiastic, he had professionally helped me revise my cv, prepared for the interview and always made me believe in myself. I had a long and particular journey with him and he kept me updated all the time whether with good or bad news. Such a great interpersonal and communication skills, great energy

Couldn't fault Luke from start to finish, from first getting in contact with me he wasn’t “that pushy recruitment guy” he took time to explain everything with absolutely no pressure to take it any further if it wasn’t for me. Luckily for me the position Luke approached me with turned out to be just the right career change for me. He knew so much about the company and the role that I think he could have fooled anyone he worked for them! So much so my new company said if they could have him they would! He was so informative about every step and was also there when I was anxiously waiting

Luke Johnson from Connections has been amazing from the start! He came across my CV for a position as a temp just before Christmas, and stayed in contact with me all the way through. From the interview, to my temporary shifts and even now I’ve started in a more permanent role with the same company. I am finally out of retail after a few horrible experiences.I am over the moon, Thank you to Luke for your help, support and confidence in me to get to where I am now!

I dealt with Luke from Connections who has been absolutely fabulous! He contacted me directly about a job that is absolutely perfect and was exactly what I was looking for, within a day of contact he arranged an interview for me. Then, he called several times to keep in touch and did almost 2 hours interview prep before the day, something you definitely don’t get from other recruiters! I got told the same day of my interview I got the job from Luke and has been in touch ever since - super lovely and would deffo recommend!

AVOID this agency at all costs they are only after your personal details I.e national insurance ,D.OB and your sort code etc... they talk as though you pretty much have the job and they promise to contact you to no avail unfortunately. Its all a con don't fall for it. I did unfortunately as I was desperate for work having just lost my job due the pandemic. Just wrong on so many levels and I will be definitely looking into this further.

Luke Johnson is a great recruiter. He contacted me after resourcing my CV for a vacancy he had and the job matched my skillset and was in the right area location wise. Sadly (for me) another candidate was offered the role on this occasion however we have now built rapport and I'm confident Luke would put me forward for other similar roles should they be available in the future.

Was contacted by LUKE JOHNSON regarding a home working position.we discussed all aspects on the phone and he left me with the impression that i had been given the role.
He asked me to provide my full ID (birth cert.driver licence.passport)together with my
Full bank details.which i provided on the understanding that i would soon be given a start date.
Well guess what ? Im still waiting!.tried calling.sent emails which have been ignored.
On the plus side if any fraud or any identity crime takes place i know who is responsible.
Certainly wont be using CONNECTIONS for my future needs

Connections Recruitment is a fantastic agency. My recruiter, Luke Johnson, in particular made employment not only possible but painless as well. He provided:
A superb match based on my requirements and my new employers needs,
Excellent communication and guidance throughout the entire process, AND
Actually cares about his clients both potential employees and employers.
I would recommend Connections to any professional individual looking for a great start at a new career.
Thank you Luke and the entire Connections Team, you are outstanding.
