What people are saying about us
The team at Trial Balance acted really quickly upon instruction, I had a really good standard of suitable candidates CV’s across my desk within a couple of days and had interviews set up within a week. Elle was great to deal with, she understood what we wanted and made sure we had the right level of contact and the right number of CV’s across my desk, great after sales service as well.
Rob exceeded my expectations at every stage of the process and really took the time to understand what was important to me in a role. As someone new to the area his expertise and wide range of contacts were invaluable. Rob was always available to answer my queries and kept me up to date at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending his professional and personable service.
Dear Rob,
I am writing to thank you for your recent assistance in securing two job offers from two very reputable accounting firms.
From the moment I made first contact you have worked hard to help me secure a position that fulfils my goals. I was particularly impressed with the effort you made to both secure interviews for me swiftly and maintain strong contact to keep me informed during the process. This has not always been my experience with recruitment agencies, but I have felt that Trial Balance Consulting have had both your client’s and my best interests in mind at all times.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services and should I ever need your services in the future, I will not look beyond contacting yourselves.
I wish you every future success.
Our company has worked with Alex and his team at Trial Balance for a number of years now on various assignments and have always received a highly professional service from them. I have always found Alex to be a friendly, approachable and confident recruiter with a swift and professional manner. Alex's service are well recommended, as he has built up one the most favourably regarded specialist recruitment agencies in Cornwall.
We used Trial Balance to cover for a 3-month sick period. I called on a Tuesday and had a credit controller working for me on the Wednesday. Trial Balance are quick, efficient, and very good value for money.
We were fortunate enough to have Trial Balance recommended to us which saved us a lot of time and expense in filling our vacancy with a very well-matched candidate. I was immediately impressed when the person who picked up the telephone to my initial enquiry was able to answer all of my questions and set the wheels in motion, and customer service from that point onwards has been exemplary. We will be sure to go straight to Trial Balance next time we are recruiting in accountancy.
Due to further expansion we were seeking a new Financial Controller. I approached Trial Balance and they very quickly identified a suitable shortlist of candidates. Dave was able to organise five interviews back to back within 3 days. After second interviews I could have offered either of the two candidates that I had progressed!
All in all I am delighted with the service from Trial Balance and would recommenced them to anyone!
Rob is great to work with and is not one to shy away from a difficult to fill role. Rob delivers quality over quantity, which saves time in the recruitment process. All of my interactions with Rob have been professional, timely and honest. Rob is also surrounded by a great team, who have always been available and fully briefed should Rob be on holiday. It’s great to work with an organisation so tied up and professional.
2018 has been a busy year for us at PKF Francis Clark, and Rob has contributed positively to our hiring efforts. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob as a recruitment partner to your organisation.
We were looking to replace a valued employee in a crucial role leaving big shoes to fill and Trial Balance exceeded expectations. Within 24 hours we were provided with a shortlist of candidates and we interviewed and recruited a smashing candidate within 4 days from when we first made contact. The team listened to our brief and provided quality candidates for consideration. Communication from Elle was exemplary; efficient and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We would be pleased to endorse Trial Balance; recruitment fees can be a bitter pill for SMEs to swallow but Trial Balance deserve every penny!
Trial Balance have been key to us during our recruitment campaign. Carly was very helpful and professional and helped to place an excellent candidate with us. The service we received was excellent and we hope to be using them again very shortly!
