May & Stephens have been so far a fantastic agency. I am now in search of a new job after redundancy. Jen Todd has really looked after me through out the whole process. Still looking for the perfect position, but as a agency best one I've been with. Thank you for constantly looking out for new opportunities, listening to my needs, and helping to secure that job!

Having been made redundant it was time for me to look for a new role, I had never used an agency before so didn't know what to expect. I can honestly say this agency is brilliant, I was greeted by both Rosie and Georgia who explained temp and perm opportunities and i found them extremely helpful and warm.
I am looking forward to Rosie finding my next perm role and have already had my CV sent to clients. In the meantime Georgia has put me into a temp booking which is amazing.
All in all Brilliant service.

Absolutely terrific recruitment agency, offering a lot of support to jobseekers. They work with a leading luxury retail companies. They work very hard to prepare candidates for successful interviews. I highly recommend this agency, I really enjoyed working for them. Also they pay on time, and after completing temporary employment, they pay equivalent for holiday days employee did not use. Taxes sorted, very legit- Love that! This agency offers temporary and permanent jobs.

After dealing with Arjun and David from May & Stephens for a number of months during my job search i could not be more appreciative, and complimentary. They are not only dedicated professionals with extensive knowledge of the industry they are recruiting for (which they are happy to
share), but they are genuinely passionate about finding a job that suits you as an individual. I couldn't imagine a better guidance process from the transition of finishing university to securing a dream graduate job. Constantly going above and beyond, and overall a hugely positive experience, i will certainly get

I couldn’t recommend May & Stephens enough, after having tried several recruitment agencies and not having much luck, they really helped my find a role which was suited to me. Rosie is extremely thorough and kept me informed through the whole process as well as preparing me for each interview. Brilliant team and would definitely use again in the future if I ever needed to!

I have registered with quite a few recruitment agencies but May & Stephens are definitely up there in the Top 3. They really made me feel part of their organisation and worked very hard to secure me a position within a highly reputable global corporation.
Georgia and Rosie looked after me (brilliantly!), however, all of May & Stephens are very much a team and you get that friendly feeling of commitment the moment you walk through their door.

I’d like to thank Rosie and Georgia again for their amazing help. What was supposed to be only a temporary role for a month turned into a permanent role in only 3 weeks! My best agency experience has definitely been with May and Stephens because they’re highly accommodating, attentive and they look after you. Whenever I had any questions Georgia would always reply instantly and even contacted the umbrella company on more than one occasion for me. Thanks to you both I now start my permanent position tomorrow :-)
