My experience with Ronak has been exceptional. He is very diligent, prompt in response and reliable in sorting out any issues I've had. When I was awaiting my certificate, he followed me on my progress monthly and encouraged me. I don't think anyone could have worked better with me and made me feel as safe as he did. Thank you, Permanent & Locum Hire.

Hycent, HCA– Secured a permanent job in Buckinghamshire.

I am writing with regard to my dealing with Chris Taylor. He approached me via LinkedIn and informed me that he had a job opportunity that I might be interested in. He was very direct and was open to answering all my questions. It was easy to understand everything that was said by him and escalated any questions he could not answer. I eventually got the interview and I had full support from Chris and all my questions were answered promptly. I feel he went above and beyond what I could expect for a hire company and it made the process of interview less stressful. I appreciate everything that was done by Chris and his team and I would definitely deal with him again if I’m looking for other work. I would recommend my colleagues to Chris and Permanent & Locum Hire for sure, and I like the fact that there were personal touches like a gift to congratulate me on getting the job and feedback about how my new post was going, and also continued communication to find out how my career is progressing. A job well done in all aspects.

Definitely, no amount of words or volume of write ups will convey in entirety my Amazing experience with Mr Ronak, my recruitment manager. Mr Ronak is no doubt the best recruiter and personality I have ever encountered. He is not just a father but also a friend during my recruitment journey. He is very friendly, personable, accessible, capable and always cheerful. He took a definite and passionate interest in my candidacy and therefore took time to mentor me, educate me and guide me through all stages ranging from the initial contact to the interviews, post interview processes, visa application, booking of flight and even while I had relocated to UK thereby enriching my knowledge and refining my approach. Ronak was apt in commending successes, correcting my approach to issues where necessary, and building strength in my abilities with high sense of humility and responsibility. Amidst his tight schedules he took time to call on regular basis to check on me, find out my progress, guide me and review any of my correspondences and above all ensuring I connect with my employer, manager and work mates in a seamless manner. His constant follow up was my greatest inspiration and motivation to this position. Based on my wonderful experience with him several of my colleagues have requested that as soon as they are done with their registration processes they would be pleased to be connected to Mr Ronak for their recruitment journey. I must sincerely, appreciate Mr Ronak for all the great things and wonderful experience I have continued to enjoy in his hands. I'm also grateful to the agency, Permanent & Locum Hire for their great job and the gift of Mr Ronak. Thank you

Sonographer - Placed with a Top Private Hospital in London

Rahul is a very conscientious and hardworking individual. He strives to provide consistent support to his clients wherever they are working and is always on hand should we have any queries or problems. A very patient and knowledgeable agent and I'd be lost without him on my locum contracts. Highly recommended.

Senior Nurse Endoscopist- Placed with a Top Private Hospital

My first contract with Permanent hire was an unexpected call from Chris Taylor. I liked the way that he immediately engaged me and was upfront with the reason for his call. When we had time to speak further I appreciated his concise answers to my questions. Chris has managed the communication and interview processes very well. Keeping me updated of all developments and delays throughout the process. I was particularly impressed when, due to a bereavement I had to delay moving forward for a time. He managed this well, and the message of condolence he sent was as kind as it was unexpected. Thank you Chris. At interview time he gave me a fairly clear idea of what to expect. I was expecting a thorough interview and this was what transpired! None of our interactions added to the stress of the process though. Thank you. I wasn't expecting to change roles when we first spoke. Now, I am excited to be moving back into a more exacting work environment.
