A Selection of Testimonials From Our Candidates
C.C. (Wiltshire)
Caroline at Seltek was quick to respond to my application query, provided lots of useful information and advice throughout the interview process and was generally very helpful and friendly. Her support and advice were invaluble and I am very much looking forward to starting my new job!
I could not have asked for better service.
E.G. (Italy)
Kristina was very friendly, helpful and nice all the time providing valuable suggestions about my CV and the interview.
A.C. (London)
Firstly I would like to once again thank your colleague Kristina for her sterling work in helping me get this placement, she is by far the best recruitment consultant I have had the pleasure of working with...
J.C.G. (London)
I would like to tell you that I already bought a car and I found a house to live in ******. I am starting work on the 5th of September and the truth is I am looking forward to it :)
Also I would like to tell you again thank you! I am really grateful for all the work you did!
E.B. (Reading)
I was really impressed with the service I received from Seltek, specifically from Kristina Southcott. She phoned me to discuss my CV and within 2 hours had lined up an interview. She gave me tips and guidance for the interview and kept in contact with me before and after. I had a 2nd interview and again Kristina was very helpful. I was offered the job and accepted. I would highly recommend Seltek to anyone looking for a new job.
G.B. (Borehamwood)
I have been really impressed with the service I received from Seltek and could not find fault with any aspect of the service they provide. Within a day of registering with Seltek I was put in contact with a recruitment consultant who went through my background and discussed possible roles I may be interested in. Within two weeks of submitting my CV I had two interviews lined up, one of which was for a company I had expressed a particular interest in working for. Prior to both interviews my consultant was in continuous contact offering advice on the interview process, the questions I may be asked and providing useful background information about the companies. Thanks to the advice provided by my consultant I received a job offer from the company I wanted to work for.
From the day I registered with Seltek I found all members of staff to be friendly and committed to helping me find employment. After having received poor service from other recruitment agencies in the past I would definitely use Seltek again in the future.
T.H. (Huntington)
Kristina has done an excellent job! She is really helpful to help me findng a job. It is a pleasure to work with Kristina, as she is very professional, and efficient! And she has a lovely voice. :-)
J.B. (Yorkshire)
I have been registered with many recruitment agencies since finishing university and many talked the talk but didnt walk the walk.
Seltek kept me informed at all times and eventually found me a job with a fantastic company and I am now really happy.
They might not have the correct job for everyone but that is inevitable, all I know is that their people seemed far more honest and open than the traditional YES men that other recruitment agenices are using.
Seltek found me my ideal job with a fantastic company and they can for you too.
K.K. (Stevenage)
I just wanted to wish you well in your new career path and to say thank you for all the help and support you have offered. It has been interesting getting the position at ***** which I would have over looked had you not chased me for my CV over the course of a number of weeks.
I have been impressed in the way in which you persevered on my behalf and what lengths you went to to ensure that all my queries were answered. You have restored my confidence in recruitment consultants!! I am sorry to hear that you are leaving recruitment as it is recruiters like you that give confidence to recruits like myself that the right role is not only out there but also that you are putting me in front of someone who is genuinely interested in my experience and not just seeing me for the sake of it. You are in fact the first recruiter who put me on the right track when it came to doing my presentation for the ***** role!
I have also felt comfortable in being honest with you about certain things and you did not make me feel that I did not have a right to express my opinion. So finally good luck and hope all goes as you wish!
E.G. (London)
Charlotte has been great in helping me through the interview process. I am yet to hear the outcome of the second interview but I feel like I had the best possible consultant to put me through the process. Charlotte helped me a lot with interview preparation and I felt I had a definite advantage as compared to other jobs I applied to. Other recruitment agencies have been very impersonal. Charlotte has always been very personable and encouraging. Thank you so much for all your help!
L.R. (Cambridge)
It was nice to have one person dealing with me and this person was always available to talk to and quick at getting back to me.
T.S. (London)
Charlotte helped me find my new position with ****** by paying particular attention to my exact requirements. She is honest, personable and always asks the right questions. She developed a good understanding of my needs and took a great deal of care to find the "best fit" for me. Her professionalism and knowledge of the life sciences industry, coupled with her wide reaching network, allowed me to secure a great job with the required remuneration and skill stretch. I've recommended her to colleagues looking to make a move.
J.C.P (Cayman Islands)
Identified the right job and matched both our needs
D.A. (France)
Confidence building,
Regular and punctual communication.
Helpful employment notes e.g how to manage telephone interviews ... you do very well in the areas I have experienced.
F.X.O. (Germany)
Got me an interview in a record time.
G.H. (East Sussex)
I can't comment on post interview aspects, as I have yet to be interviewed. Jonathan is a credit to seltek...I wish all consultants were the same.
C.B. (Kent)
What can I say? When the chips were down, and I needed to find a new role quickly, Seltek proved to be the best consultants out there. Scott listened to my needs and concerns, and helped me find a role that I feel I can grow in, not just a job that paid the bills. Thanks again, I won't hesitate to recommend them to my soon to be ex-colleagues!
I.M. (Liverpool)
Kept to deadlines that were promised, gave swift feedback following various interview stages, remained personable and professional, provided all information that was required at various stages.........in summary, Seltek did everything very well indeed!
J.H. (London)
Kristina coupled a high level of professionalism with a personal touch to great effect. She was instrumental in my career development, fun to work with, highly motivated and knew how to get the best results. I wholeheartedly recommend her work at Seltek.
S.S. (Bedfordshire)
I would like to thank you for the time, effort and professional courtesy that you have given me whilst looking to find a suitable position, I know it has proven difficult, certainly during these economic times, but also my lack of 'Scientific' experience I know has not helped. I would have no hesitation in recommending yourself and organisation to anyone I know that may be looking for alternative employment in the future.
P.A. (Cambridge)
Thanks again for your support and advice; it was invaluable and a definite contribution to our success. I look forward to receiving the contract from ******.
B.B. (Hertfordshire)
I called just before Christmas to catch up with you but you were on leave. I had a nice chat with Guy and just asked him to thank you once again for the work you put into getting me my opportunity at ******.
Things are going really well with a great variety of experience and responsibility coming my way each week. I now have two direct reports which was something I was very keen to achieve albeit I did not expect this in such a short space of time. As ever you listened carefully to my career interests and aspirations and the result speaks for itself!
S.N. (London)
"I'm sending a short testimonial in order to let others know how great Seltek Consultants have been during my job search and helping me to move from the academic world into a more industrial role, not such an easy task!
From the first day that I've been contacted by the Seltek recruiter, I felt his energy and determination in finding me the right job. He was great in listening to my requests, which was very important to me since I wanted to find almost a 'dream' job (I felt that many other recruiters, from other recruitment agencies were very impersonal and uninterested in who I was and what I was looking for). I felt that I counted as a person, and not just one of 1000 job seekers. He was great in finding me several interviews in some great pharmaceutical companies. He also gave me the support before and after the interviews which was fantastic. He talked me through the interview and this allowed me to develop my interview technique.
I was also amazed by how quickly my recruiter phoned me , after each interview and equally when I finally got offered the current position, it went only couple of hours before I got the great news.
Last but not the least, the welcome card that I found on my first working day, on my new desk was a final, but extremely nice touch! Thank you so much for your very appreciated help and keep up the good work and reputation that you have amongst the pharmaceutical world (indirect message from my colleagues J !)"
V.D. (Leicester)
... I would also like to thank you for all the help you have given me with the ****** interview. You have always been very helpful and quick to respond to any of my queries...
M.C. (Thame)
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for all your hard work! I've really enjoyed my first week at ****** and am delighted with the seamless transition into the role. Thanks for your support.
D.M. (Bristol)
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for passing on ******'s message last night. Interview feed back of any form is very useful (especially when it is good) and I am most grateful.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank both you and your colleagues again for all your hard work pre and during this process. I have had experience with several recruitment agencies recently and I must say you have had the best employee service of all- a thorough and professional service.
D.B. (Preston)
I'm really sorry to spring this on you at the last minute, but I've received an amazing job offer, so there isn't any point in wasting ******'s time this morning. I'll try your phone at a more reasonable hour. Thanks ever so much for your help - you've been the best agent by a long way.
H.M. (Sheffield)
I just want to thank you for passing my details onto ****** at ******. I am pleased to say I have accepted a job with ****** as UK Sales manager and am really happy.
You have been really good and supportive -thanks for all your help
J.M. (London)
Thank you for the card on tuesday morning.
It is a very very busy week and it will be the same for the next few weeks.
I will leave for San Francisco on sunday for two weeks for the first part of the training.
I am very happy with this new job, I am sure, I will enjoy it.
Thank you very much for your help.
D.H. (Bristol)
Seltek consultants have been a fantastic company in providing me with the opportunity to move from the academic world to a career in industry. I was a post-doctoral scientist for almost a decade and felt I may have missed my opportunity to enter the commercial science sector. However the fantastic Seltek website allowed me to download my CV and I was able to target it more specifically to the commercial sector with the help of a Seltek consultant.
The experience of Seltek in the science commercial sector, combined with their supportive staff make you feel that you have a good friend in helping you make the 'right' move' into industry. Without doubt I would not have had the opportunity to meet high quality life science and diagnostic companies without their help. They organized and arranged interviews with some of the leading companies in the market place. By having this opportunity to meet a number of different companies you can make a better informed decision on the type of company that also best suits your needs. The support Seltek gives you before and after the interview is fantastic. They talk through the interview and this allows you to develop your interview technique and you also understand what each company is looking for. I was amazed how quickly my interviews were arranged by Seltek and this resulted in me being offered a position within a couple of weeks.
In conclusion Seltek provides an excellent service and partnership in providing a supportive environment to make the transition into the commercial sector. I thank my consultant and the staff of Seltek Consultants in giving me this opportunity to start my career in the diagnostic industry.
L.K. (London)
At the beginning of the year I moved from France to London .............................
...........................After a thorough web search about job hunting, science and England I found Seltek Consultants and register my profile on the web site.
Couples of month after I have been contacted by a consultant looking for someone to apply for a Technical Application Specialist position.
The position was really nice and I applied. The consultant helped me from the first interview until the final discussion with the company. He gave full information about the company, the team I was going to work with and of course the job by itself. He provided me a lot of material to read about interviewing and presentation as well as personal advices. He also helped me a lot to manage my stress during all the hiring process................
...................Now it's over 3 months that I am working with the company and I was please to see that everything turn out to be as the consultant told me.
I like the job and feel good in my new position.
I appreciate Seltek Consultants work a lot and I have recommend this agency to some of my friends.
M.M. (Buckinghamshire)
I would like to thank Seltek Consultants, particularly ***** who has provided me all the help and advice necessary to get me a really good job with Sigma-Aldrich. I was fascinated by the professional service and the screening process carried out by Seltek to place the right people at the right place. The staffs are very helpful and to be honest I did not come across an agency like Seltek. I would like to recommend Seltek to those who are currently hunting for jobs...Get register and start preparing for your 1st interview!
H.T. (Kent)
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the efforts with *******, I am so pleased! It is a fantastic package. I have told ***** and ***** I won't be taking theirs, and cancelled an interview with ***** next week. I am so excited about the role and just glad we could sort it all after the references fiasco etc. Thanks again for all your help.
S.T. (Kent)
Thank You! I had my first day today with ********. Needless to say - very busy! I am thoroughly enjoying it so far & really excited about the future
E.S. (Leamington Spa)
Changing your job or career can be quite traumatic however I have always found that Seltek Consultants have been able to offer excellent support during the whole process. Seltek Consultants listen carefully to your needs ensuring that they match you to the most appropriate opportunity. Seltek Consultants will not try to push you into an interview where the fit between employer and employee is less than ideal.
F.S. (Manchester)
Although I have only been with my new company for a week I know that it was the right move to make. I am enjoying it already. Thank you again for
helping me find a new position so quickly after being made redundant. You
were very helpful and always had good advice for me. If I ever need (hopefully not) to look for another sales position Seltek will be the first
recruitment company I shall ring.
G.H (USA)
Thank you very much for your guidance while I was in England looking for a job. Your help regarding the Biotech job market in England and tips about the interview process assisted me in landing my job at *******. I was very impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of the Biotech network that your firm presented. If I need help in the future, I would definitely utilize your services. Thanks for everything.
A.B. (Harrow)
This is just a quick e-mail, after having completed my first week at *******.
I am truly enjoying my new role with *******, which you helped me secure.
More than anything I cannot wait to get out onto the road and start selling
the exciting products that we have, though I guess it is very important
to be fully trained first. I just wanted to take this opportunity to formally
thank you for your help in securing my new role. I would definitely recommend
Seltek to friends and colleagues should the opportunity arise.
O.D. (London)
The friendly, efficient and professional service from my Seltek agent,
was invaluable during my job search. Seltek's specialist knowledge enabled
them to match me with an exciting job opportunity in record time. I believe
that the pre-interview preparation with my consultant was a major factor
in my being offered the position. Seltek really helped to take the anxiety
out of the job search process.
K.S. (Waltham Cross)
Thanks again Scott, I will be highly recommending Seltek.
N.S. (Oldham)
I'm extremely busy and I'm working on some excellent prospects. It's all
so very exciting. I think my boss is happy with my efforts. I love this
job and I can't believe I didn't consider sales earlier in my career.
L.S. (Glasgow)
A big thank you for finding me the position at ****. You
have worked very hard on me and I'm very grateful.
C.M. (Scotland)
I have dealt with a number of recruitment consultants within a number
of different recruitment agencies, and I can comfortably say that the
level of service I received far exceeds that which I have received anywhere
else.
H.L. (London)
Dear Everyone at Seltek, just a little card to tell you how thankful I
am for all your help. I'm looking at a bright future thanks to you. I
couldn't have done it without you.
