During this time we have found them to be an excellent supplier of contract and permanent staff.

We have always found Barclay Meade to be professional and quick to respond to our recruitment needs.

"Barclay Meade were instrumental in the rapid recruitment of a supply chain team to deliver a major Naval support service, and their ability to work with the client to identify the detailed requirement both in terms of the job and “people” spec, sift initial candidates and manage candidates into and throughout the selection process were key to what was a very successful recruitment drive. I would have no hesitation in using Barclay Meade in the future for my recruitment needs.”

"I was introduced to Barclay Meade's Supply Chain Division whilst we were looking for a number of specialist Supply Chain Professionals to join our organisation both within the UK and internationally. I found them to be extremely thorough in their approach and in their understanding of our business requirements, whilst clearly demonstrating expertise in the niche field of procurement.

The service provided was consultative and I feel Barclay Meade added significant value to our recruitment process. Their consultants have consistently provided excellent candidates in a very timely manner and communicated every step of the way so no unrealistic expectations were set.

On interviewing candidates from Barclay Meade I have invariably found the candidates to be well briefed about the organisation and the vacancy.

It is for these reasons that I have chosen to use and continue to use the services of Barclay Meade and can whole heartedly recommend them on this basis."

"Barclay Meade found me an exciting role with a sought after blue chip company, precisely what I wanted at this stage of my career.

Barclay Meade played a crucial part in securing the role and I'm impressed with the quality of service provided to me as a candidate and the effective management of the relationship with the recruiting organisation. I say this, as I had previously discussed this role with three other recruitment agencies: None of them correctly recognised the value proposition required or properly presented the recruiting organisation to me.

Hence, I'll like to use this opportunity to thank your team and highlight the role played by your Consultants in making the engagement productive. They skillfully managed the crucial relationships, maintained a positive outlook and drove hard to get the best outcome for all three parties. In addition, my interests as a candidate were properly represented.

Keep up the good work."
