‘I registered with Change to help place me in temporary employment. My recruitment consultant regularly kept me up to date on new roles and provided me with feedback in a timely manner. I have had continuous temporary employment through Change and feel confident that they will ensure that I will be kept in employment during this Financial Crisis.’

D. Mathieu, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘As a temporary candidate of Change Recruitment Group I have been very impressed with the service offered. My consultant, Keri Scott, genuinely made me feel valued and the skills and experience I've gained in my career to date were seriously considered and put to good use. I was placed in an assignment that challenged and inspired me. Temping with Change has been a rewarding experience. I really feel it has enhanced my career prospects and that I have been well looked after’

L. Hunter, HR, Glasgow
‘In 2009, I felt the effect of the economic down turn and found myself looking for work. I applied for a number temporary position with various agencies but I could not find a particular post. I had sent my details to Change Recruitment and asked them to keep me on file and consider me for any suitable positions. Change’s recruitment consultant Linzi Murphy got in contact with me about a client of theirs who had an ongoing temporary project which was starting and wanted to know if I was interested. The project sounded great to me and met all my work desires in full. I started the position at short notice, I went in on the Monday morning and done a working interview. From then on I was temping with the company for a further 3 months. My time temping through Change with that company gave me the experience and knowledge I needed to apply for full time permanent positions in HR, which without I would not have got. I found the company (Change) to be very flexible if I needed time off at short notice and it was good to be on a weekly salary scale. I am now working in a full time permanent position which once again I managed to get through Change. I would highly recommend Change as a company for their support and dedication to helping their clients and customers.’

A. Pollock, Office Services, Glasgow
‘Through my registration and first meeting with Lynne, she was easy to talk to, she made the interview easy and we discussed my preferences, since then she has always been in contact with me. She had phoned with two job offers within two days, one being the job I am still in, and the other was in administration within the city centre. Before I started Lynne phoned and emailed the details of the job and talked things through with me which helped me settle before my first day. Since starting I have never had any problems with the service I have received and Lynne has always been there to help when needed. I feel secure being with an agency as I know they are always there to help, even if I had to come out of the job I am in.’

M. Murray, Contact Centre, Glasgow
‘Change Recruitment - Brilliant is all I can say as far as helping with getting work! I've temped with Change for 2 different jobs. Both times I was walked through the process to get interviews, then great follow-up after getting the jobs to see that I was doing ok. Change were most helpful if I needed any advice. Change made getting a temp job easy. I have recommended Change to all my friends that are looking for work.’

K. Sayers, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘I have worked with Change for quite a few months now. I not only can count on Keri as a consultant, but as a friend. Over time I have felt like I am an important asset and that Change/Keri want to keep me in employment. I have never had any problems with administration issues and I know that things of that nature are dealt with promptly. My pay is in the bank at the end of every week I have worked. The correct tax code was used. And if you are a temp then you will know how easily agencies mess up pay! When I call to speak to Keri, the reception team are always friendly and polite and answer the call very quickly. If Keri is unavailable then I am put through to her voicemail and she always calls me back. I’ve never been kept in the dark, if I don’t get a job I get told as soon as they know. I would recommend Change to anyone and have recommended them to friends. To have the support of your employer as a temp is a great relief and makes life a lot easier. I have always been treated with respect. If you work hard with Change you can expect this. You feel as though you are part of something professional.’

N. Singh, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘I would like to thank Jennifer Wood for her assistance in finding me a position. The service you provided was excellent - you have always stayed in touch kept me in mind for upcoming positions and responded to all my email and telephone queries in a very efficient and proactive manner. You are without a doubt the best recruitment consultant in Glasgow and I will be recommending yourself and CHANGE to any friends seeking employment.’

A. Shek, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘I began to look into Temping after graduation as I was not entirely sure what career option to take. Temping enabled me to sample different environments such as banking, pensions and investments. The registration process with Change Recruitment Group is really simple and the consultants are really helpful, especially when you don’t know what you want to do! The consultants really try to find out what you want from a placement and find one that suits you as opposed to sending your application to every job that comes up. One of the main reasons I like this agency is the fact that I feel they are always there ready to help, we have regular meetings to check that everything is going well. I would definitely recommend Temping!’

C. Ewan, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘Since becoming involved with Change Recruitment I have found that their service is second to none. I have been dealing directly with Keri Scott and found that her attention to detail and the needs of her clients have always been of the highest priority for her. When I first started Keri did her utmost to explain the process and to establish what I was looking for. As someone who was not from an office based environment before this was of great help. Once started Keri has kept in regular contact to ensure that all was going well and to see if there was anything that could be done to make sure I was confident and happy with what I was doing.’

M. Ritchie, Contact Centre, Glasgow
‘I got an outstanding job through The Resource Group just as the credit crunch was really taking its toll on me and thanks to the help of Catrina not only am I confident, I can now pay my mortgage and I also have a job where I will be happy to work for years to come.’

G. Ballantyne, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘I registered with Change after voluntary redundancy from one bank employer after 27 years. I fancied trying something different but was unsure what and decided I would like to try out some new roles and new employers. I have received excellent service from the Financial Services team at Change, from registration through ongoing regular contact and updates on job availability. I would recommend agency work/temping with Change as the Financial Services team match you to opportunities which allow you to transfer your skills to roles you may not have otherwise considered.’

A. Baskaradoss, Office Support, Glasgow
‘I approached CHANGE two years back through recommendation from a friend. The consultant I initially met was handling the call centre division, but when I expressed my interest in Logistics, she immediately put me on to her colleague who handled that division. They arranged for me to meet up with my prospective employer within a day and had the job offered straight away. I was amazed at the speed at which things worked out. The staff were quite friendly and very helpful. They maintain a good client base, so I would recommend CHANGE to anyone who is looking for work. I’ve been with CHANGE two years now and everything has been going well to date. I’m happy with the levels of service I usually receive. My current contact at CHANGE is Lynne Ellingham. I contact Lynne now and then for various matters. She replies to me promptly and has been very patient in answering all my questions. I find her to be extremely helpful. Thanks Lynne.’

M. Scholz, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘Change have been, from the very beginning, a fantastic company to work with. They have been forever supportive of not only finding me work but also of accommodating my own goals and ambitions and where other companies are struggling to place me or simply ignoring my phone calls and emails, the consultants at Change are always on the ball.’

D. Perry, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘I first heard of Change when I was made redundant in March 2009. It was a trying time for me as I had just bought a new house and the climate was so bad I didn't think I was going to get any work. However, after seeing an advertisement on a job search website I sent in my CV and the very next day a very friendly consultant called Keri, from the Edinburgh Office contacted me. Keri was extremely thorough and established exactly what I was looking for in a job and described a couple of job specifications that she would recommend me for; I was over the moon as this was such great progress for me. Keri kept in touch regularly and gave me feedback on my CV and the positions I had applied for. Since then Keri has placed me in a suitable position for a 6 month contract which has been a godsend! She still keeps in touch on a weekly basis and is constantly on the look out for permanent work for me, for when this contract ends. I would definitely recommend Change as they are a friendly and efficient agency who place people well in employment; once they have placed you in a position they don't just forget about you, they are always on hand to answer your queries. On a personal level they have provided me with the reassurance that I am a good candidate and there is work out there for me and Keri has been a great support who is always there to answer my questions (no matter how silly or small they are!) Thank you Keri :o)’

L. Selvaraj, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘From the first meeting with my Change representative, I was confident that I had come to the right place. They are extremely professional, yet the very approachable attitude would make anyone feel at ease. The best part of relating with Change jobs is here it does not end with finding a job, they always offer you the best service and provide with all the information which will help you to grow up in the career. It’s been an excellent working relationship and I would recommend anyone to avail the first-class services provided by change.’

L. Carnegie, HR, Edinburgh
‘I've said this before, but I just wanted to say again - you have been by far the best consultant I've worked with in an age. Having been both a 'client' and a 'candidate' there are some consultants and indeed agencies out there who I simply would not give my business to. But certainly in this period of job hunting you have outshone the other consultants who claimed to be working to help me find work ten fold. So I am really pleased that I've managed to find work through you.’

F. Whybrow, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘My experience of working with Change is unlike many of the other agencies I’ve worked with, or tried to! With 20-odd years of experience in pro-active administrative roles, one agency’s first question was “so, where did you go to school?”. Needless to say, the conversation didn’t go much further than that. At Change, the registration process is straightforward, and you are made to feel like you matter, that you’re treated as an individual, and you feel that your consultant will do everything he or she can to find you work that fits in with you. My needs are pretty specific; to work part time, that fits in with the school run, but uses the skills I have in the events and media industries. Keri understood that my skills were unusual and didn’t fit the usual mould. She found me a perfect fit working within the sponsorship department of a large financial institution. She contacts me regularly to find out how I’m doing, reminds me that my timesheet needs to be returned, and is always on the lookout for other opportunities for me. She makes me feel like I’m part of a big family! I can’t recommend Change highly enough ….’

P. Hynd, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘Having never realised that temporary work could cover managerial positions within company, I was very pleasantly surprised that I could be considered for positions at a level I sought within companies who, whilst unable to recruit permanent staff, were interested in temporary employees. Having been put in touch with Change and having obtained a suitable vacancy, I found the staff very helpful in explaining the registration process clearly and in detail. Temporary work appeals to me because it does not mean I am tied into a position or company I do not enjoy and I have the comfort of knowing that Change are looking out for suitable vacancies on my behalf which saves me a great deal of work and disappointment.’

M. Boyle, Office Services, Glasgow

‘I would like to testify to the outstanding service I have received from Lynne in the past 3 years, whenever I'm not working she will phone me with every job that comes through and gives me the option to accept or decline the position. Even when I'm not working for Change I will still ring her and leave a message to see how things are, undoubtedly she will call back that day even just for a chat.’

E. O’Neill, Office Services, Glasgow
‘I feel the service I have received from Lynne Ellingham at Change Recruitment has been exceptional. From day one she has been in constant contact to assess exactly what I am looking for as a temporary or permanent worker. The registration process was very simple and only took about 15 minutes. I enjoy temporary work as I think this gives both myself and any future permanent employer the chance to assess each other and see whether any available position would work permanently. It also gives me a chance to meet a lot of interesting people, some of whom become friends!!! Change Recruitment have also been very prompt in paying both normal and holiday pay which in this current climate is much appreciated. Lynne is always at the end of the phone or the e-mail when required and keeps in touch constantly when I am on an assignment to check that everything is working out okay. I would highly recommend them and found them to be the best agency I have worked with so far.’

A. Cree, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘As my personal circumstances dictated that temporary work suited me far better, I approached the Change Recruitment Group. Jennifer quickly understood my requirements, and after taking cognisance of my skills and experience, found a perfect three-month position for me to apply for. Within a week, with Jennifer’s assistance, I had attended the interview, been successful, and started my new job.’

L. McAndrew, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘After graduating from University, I was not sure what I wanted to do and thought that temping would be a good option. I registered with quite a few agencies, and can honestly say that Change have been by far the best. I have had support from Keri in finding a job that suits my personality and I am really enjoying it. Keri is always on hand to answer any questions that I may have, no matter how small, and she is more like a friend. I would recommend Change to anyone who is looking for a job, either temporary or permanent.’

M. Baigrie, Office Services, Glasgow
‘After being made redundant and trying, unsuccessfully, with other "popular" agencies, I contacted the Change Recruitment Group. Lynne Ellingham, a really friendly and professional person, couldn't have been any more helpful, made the whole process easy and painless. I was quickly in to a long-term contract, which I enjoy very much and I know that if I ever have any queries Lynne is either at the end of the telephone or I can drop her a quick e-mail.’

F. Cairns, Contact Centre, Glasgow
‘The service that was provided to me was top class by meeting with Catrina on day 1 to being put forward for an interview on day 3 and to starting an assignment on day 5. The service I have received from Catrina since working on the assignment is that she will help and support you if there are any problems and queries. She was never too busy to help and sort out any problem that arose. Catrina visits and meets with the team every 2nd Thursday to deal with everything. Compared to other agencies, The Resource Group / Change are committed in helping people who are not in employment to fulfil the gap of lack of full time work available and place in Temp assignments as quickly as possible rather than putting you forward for interview for jobs out with your means. Look at me, I have been on the same assignment for 12 months and the potential to be made permanent is looking more likely than ever.’

L. Siucilaite, HR, Edinburgh
‘Right from the start Change impressed me with their professional manner. I found their staff very helpful and reliable; they were genuinely interested in finding me work assignments, were following up all interviews, providing constructive feedback, kept in touch while on assignments and were looking for new opportunities before my contract was coming to an end. I’ve been temping with Change for the past 2 years and gained a lot of valuable experience from assignments they had placed me on.’

M. Caulfield, Office Services, Glasgow
‘The job I am currently in was not established by contact with the agency but through an Internet Job Website. However my first contact with the agency was with Lynne Ellingham. Lynne sent through all relevant documents for starting my job with her contact details. From day one Lynne has always been quick with responses and very helpful. I have had a few problems with pay issues and timesheets and Lynne had always done her best to solve these issues and if she couldn’t help she provided a contact that could assist. To date I am pleased with the assistance given by the agency whether it be by email, telephone or face-to-face meetings, and know that if I ever have problems they are always happy to help.’

M. Curtis, Office Support, Edinburgh
‘Keri has been absolutely amazing in assisting me to find employment in Edinburgh. She has been so encouraging and accommodating to my needs and has worked with my strengths and interests to find me the best possible employment. Change Recruitment has certainly impressed me with its diligence and support it has shown to me as a temporary worker.’

M. Blackburn, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘This is the first time have worked on a temporary basis. I wanted to try temping to give me the opportunity to do something different without committing to one employer until I found what I was looking for. I have been really impressed with Change and the help Jennifer has given me. Very shortly after our first conversation, an interview had been arrange, job offer same day and started work within a few days. Paperwork was made easy. Any questions I have had since starting work have been answered quickly. No hesitation to recommend the agency.’

C. Arundel, Office Support, Glasgow
‘Having not used an agency for 15+ years I was very unsure and uncertain of the process. However, having been introduced to The Resource Group by my daughter, I received outstanding service from every person with whom I have dealt. The quality of service I received was excellent and I was impressed with the regular updates, even when there were no new developments. I am also very pleased by the ongoing support provided by Lynne Ellingham and Lynne Maxwell who always respond to my queries in a timely and professional manner. I would recommend TRG to any of my colleagues in terms of finding work placement.’

Michelle, Office Support, Glasgow
‘I would have no hesitation in recommending Change Recruitment Group to other's looking for work. During the time I have worked as a temporary worker on behalf of Change I have done so with ease and have always been kept fully informed by Lynne Ellingham who is a delight to deal with and is always working hard on behalf of clients and candidates. Lynne is very supportive and keeps in touch and my questions/queries are always met with a prompt response. Lynne is an asset to the company and is the reason I continue to use Change for my recruitment needs as the level of service she provides is excellent and second to none.’

C. Layden, Financial Services, Glasgow
‘I decided to register for Temporary work as finding a permanent job within this difficult climate was proving to be challenge, I applied for a temporary assignment on the website and I was contacted by Jennifer Wood at Change Recruitment Group shortly after. Jennifer read through the terms and requirements of the assignment to ensure I was happy with the role and understood the different aspects of the work I would be carrying out. It was a very easy process, I met Jennifer at the office in order to complete the necessary paperwork and I started the assignment the next day. Change Recruitment is a very proactive company; I had concerns of continual assignments as contracts where coming to an end and Jennifer was able to place me in another firm right away. I am now in a longer term contract with a view to becoming a permanent member of staff. Jennifer and her team have been very quick to react to any enquiries or concerns I have had with regards to holidays, new work or pay. They also carry out on site visits weekly to meet and ensure that everyone is happy.’

C. McDonald, Office Services, Glasgow
‘My Experience with Change Recruitment has been an enjoyable one. I have never had any problems with wages or holidays. I feel confident enough that I can contact my agent when I need advice or simply to book any time off. I’ve always found that when I have had a problem it is sorted that day. I would recommend joining Change to anyone who is looking for employment as I’ve always had a fast and reliable service.’

J. Gibula, Accountancy & Finance, Edinburgh
‘I think you are a very personable and professional person who works hard to provide a quality service. You take care of your clients and candidates and always offer a helping hand. I found the service provided by Change was very professional and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it to anyone.’

A. Pollock, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘Having been previously made redundant from full-time employment, I contacted Change recruitment and told them I was keen to get back to work as soon as possible. The registration process was quick and simple, yet allowed Change to create a full profile of my skills and the kinds of positions I would be interested in. Within 24hrs Mike and his team were in contact to let me know about various positions and to gauge my interest. I received almost daily contact from Change and within a week they had arranged several interviews.....and within 2 weeks I was working again. I cannot thank Change enough for their proactive and ongoing support and it is good to know I have the team there and available for a chat any time I need them. It has been a genuine pleasure and I have already recommended them to several other people.’

R. Davies, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘I found Change were very swift in putting me forward for jobs, and I was impressed by how much quicker they got me interviews than many of the other agencies I was with. I found their team very professional and appreciated the level of personal service I received, such as calling back after each interview to see how it went, and the same with the first day of my placement.’

C. Rowland, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘Having moved to the UK from Australia on a working visa, temporary and contract was most appealing for me. A temporary position allowed me to gain experience in different areas of finance and accounting while getting to meet new people. I found that on most job search websites that Change Recruitment had a lot of temporary and contract positions advertised. I found the registration process extremely easy. I applied for one job with Change and within 2 hours, I had a recruiter call me to discuss what I was looking for and to arrange a time for me to come in and register. When I first met the recruiter, I felt confident that they knew what I was looking for. I also was introduced to another recruiter who specialised in a different area. I walked out of the registration meeting feeling really happy knowing that I had more than one person looking after me. I had received numerous emails about different jobs within a week of registering. I particularly liked that my recruiter would send me a text message to let me know that an email was waiting for me. It made sure I was quick to respond to potential jobs which is essential given the competition in the current job market. I had a job offer after 2 weeks and I found my recruiter Emma to be very helpful in the interview process. I was sent documents with interview tips which I found useful. I have found the communication between myself and Emma to be excellent, as I am kept up to date with any changes and information passed on from my employer.’

B. McDonald, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘Having signed with a number of recruitment agencies prior to Change and not really having a lot of luck I applied for a position I spotted on the web site, but didn't have high expectations. I received a call within 30 minutes and an appointment made. Registration was very positive and I felt that the consultant was genuinely interested in me. I registered on the Friday had an interview on the Wednesday with an Investment Management firm and started on the Monday. In the meantime Change are still finding other opportunities for me. I chose contracting to expand my experience on my particular field and feel confident with Change that they will deliver.’

S. Beveridge, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘I registered with Change Recruitment Group as I was looking for temping positions during my one year stay in the UK from Australia. Temping has allowed me to experience different organisations and undertake various roles while making great friends along the way. Temping has also allowed me the flexibility to travel between assignments. Staff within the Financial Services Team at Change Recruitment Group are friendly and always willing to help anyway they can.’

B. Sadler, Financial Services, Edinburgh
'Signing up with Change Recruitment as a temporary employee has proven to be a good move for me. Change sourced an assignment immediately and the registration process was quicker compared to other agencies. Choosing a temporary role provides a substantial amount of flexibility. If one role ends, another can start almost immediately. The staff at Change supply constant assistance throughout the assignment. I receive instant answers to any problems that arise, which makes me feel like a valued employee. I would recommend considering and contacting Change if you are seeking a temporary or contract role. Having temped through other agencies, I have found Change's standard of service is second to none'.

A. McBride, Financial Services, Edinburgh
‘Change is by far the best recruitment agency I have ever worked for. The team at Change make sure that my happiness is always their top priority, and any issues I have are always dealt with quickly and professionally. Being in Temporary employment has lots of benefits; you are never tied down to a job, if you take on a position and decide its not for you Change make it easy for you to chop and change until you find something suitable, you can choose from various contract lengths to suit your needs, and also gain lots of experience working in different positions within your sector. Change are extremely focussed on ensuring their candidates happiness and do everything they can at each stage of the recruitment process to make it as pleasurable as possible. Change seem to have contacts within most major companies in the financial sector which is great as it means I don't have to register with lots of different agencies to get the coverage I want. Having registered with Change has been great for me; I would recommend them to anyone wanting to choose temporary work!’
