"The service I received from Personnel Concept was second to none. I submitted my resume and within a couple of days I was set up with an interview with a potential employer that suited my needs.

I was kept in touch with the progress of my application, and when it came time to negotiating my salary, Personnel Concept contacted me in order to confirm my asking salary and to help him build a case to affirm my salary requirements.

As a result, Personnel Concept had negotiated a suitable salary for me that I was pleased with, and with an employer that I was happy to work with.

I was also pleased with the outcome, as the other HR recruitment agencies were very slow with their progress and I had to continually contact them for updates on the progress of my application. Not only did they not keep in touch with me, but I had to harass them to apply for jobs on my behalf"

"I found the staff from Personnel Concept to be extremely helpful during the time that I spent dealing with them whilst searching for a new job. From our first discussion, Personnel Concept was able to assess the type of role that I was seeking and took the time to understand my reasons for looking for another position. Personnel Concept was always available and happy to answer any questions that I had, which made the process of finding a new job and leaving my current one a lot easier than I could have imagined.

Personnel Concept was very professional at all times and constantly kept me updated on progress.

One thing that really impressed me was that Personnel Concept took a considerable amount of time on our first communication to find out more about my experience and what my preferences were in a new position.

We discussed at length what was available in the market and presented to me potential employers to get my feedback on if I had any priorities in employers."

"Personnel Concept has been invaluable to securing employment for me in Australia. From the beginning, it has paid careful attention to my requirements and requests, concerning not only my employment, but place of abode, commute options and times etc. Personnel Concept organised numerous interviews with prospective employers with expediency and efficiency, and went the extra mile to contact the interviewers and myself at least 15 minutes before the interview to make sure everything was in order.

Personnel Concept has continued to keep touch with me since I have arrived in Australia and started my job, enquiring if assistance is required, and ensuring things are going well.

I would not hesitate to recommend Personnel Concept to others."

"Thank you for your time and understanding today.

I am writing to thank you for all the effort you put into the job search for me. I valued your commitment and time greatly. I have worked with recruitment agencies before and below are a few points that I appreciated about working with you -

1. Your professionalism - you are very reliable in the fact that you phoned and emailed when you said you would. Each time I spoke with you, you gave me your undivided attention and showed empathy in finding me a job that suited me, not the job that would benefit you the most. Not to mention initally contacting me within 5 minutes of me applying to your advertisement on seek.

2. The modern way you approached your work - you understood that it wasn't necessary to have me come to your office and complete paperwork. From your initial contact via telephone you asked the relevant questions and my wishes for a career and contacted me via email and mobile phone, rather than wasting time in attending meetings. I have never met you, yet you managed to gain me an interview and job offer within one week!!

3. The way you view your job - on several occasions you mentioned to me that it was not your goal to gain me the job that benefited you the best. I appreciate the way you view your job as helping people rather than selling to people. This made me feel that I could be completely honest with you and know that my interests were your interests and I was not going to get pressured into anything.

Above all, you are an incredibly friendly and approachable person who shows passion and empathy in a job where often this is not the primary traits!

I have honestly enjoyed having you alongside me to help me find a job that best suits my needs. In the future, I will not hesitate to come back to you or recommend any of my friends.

Thank you again."
