“We started working with Rob at RMS Recruitment in February and it was clear from the start he was dedicated to finding us the right people for our vacancies. He made sure to understand us as a company, the roles we had available and the little things about employees that make them the best fit for us. As a small business, it’s crucial we employ people who are reliable, committed to their assignment and can hit the ground running. These are exactly the types of people Rob has been able to source for us. Communication has always been fantastic with Rob keeping us up to date with candidates and being at the end of the phone whenever we need him. It’s also been really enjoyable working with Rob as he’s consistently friendly, has a good sense of humour, is effective in what he does and proposes solutions to any recruitment issues we may have. We are keen to continue working with RMS Recruitment in all of our drives with Rob being hugely influential in that decision.”

Not only have we now recruited all of the operatives we needed through them, Phil made some excellent suggestions at the start of the process which proved to be invaluable in ensuring we had minimal to no turnover and all candidates were successful in their employment with us.

“Their communication has always been fantastic and It has been an absolute pleasure working with Phil & Rob. We hope to work with them on future roles as our requirements change.”

“We have only been working with RMS a short time, but our experience has been very positive. Phil took the time to get to know our business and understand our requirements and he quickly picked up that finding people who share our values is very important to us. This enabled him to put a strong selection of candidates in front of us and we are delighted with the appointment we have made. The open and honest communication throughout have been very much appreciated and we hope that this is the start of a long-standing relationship with Phil and RMS.”

“RMS have been working closely with Gestamp as a tier 1 supplier for permanent professional recruitment since 2014. Since the relationship began, RMS have shown strong technical knowledge and expertise of the automotive industry and have been a consistent performer with the placements they have made. As an agency they take instructions well, work to deadline and ensure they send quality candidates across which match the specifications of the job role. Through their recruitment managers and consultants, RMS have remained one of my most consistent Tier 1 agencies and have placed numerous key personnel into roles across the UK for Gestamp, ranging from Technical Managers/Engineers through to back office and specialist shop floor personnel.

I would certainly recommend RMS as an Agency to any other automotive and manufacturing organisations across the UK. The level of service and dedication they have provided us with has always been first class and they are always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.”

Through their dedicated account managers they provide a unique hands on approach and always go the extra mile to ensure they deliver a first class out sourced staffing solution.

The level of service and attention to detail we receive from RMS’ is testament to their dedication and expertise in the Engineering industry, with their focus on client and candidate experience being very refreshing.
