CANDIDATE TESTIMONIALS



CHARLENE G – LONDON MARKET ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

“I had the pleasure of using KSA Recruitment’s services when Kirk saw my details on an employment search website. The search for a new job can very daunting. Kirk was fantastic and helpful, he listened to what I wanted and helped me find my dream job. Kirk was very supportive and provided a lot of guidance throughout the various stages. From looking for what suited my needs, the interviews, my notice period and then starting my job. The main thing with me is that I could not speak during the day as I was at work, so they were very flexible with the times that we spoke and always very reliable. If they said they would do something then they would. I cannot thank KSA Recruitment enough for the absolutely superb service I received. I would strongly recommend KSA Recruitment’s services”

GRAHAM P – PRODUCING BROKER

“KSA took the time to understand my requirements to ensure I was put forward for a role which enabled me to take my career in the direction I was hoping.

they communicated with me throughout the process of changing position, which led to a simple, stress-free switch without complication.

I was impressed with the service KSA offered and have subsequently recommended another colleague to use KSA in sourcing a new position.

MARK B - UNDERWRITER

“When dealing with KSA, Kirk worked above and beyond in helping me find and get the role I was looking for first time. He was very professional and kept a constant communication with me, so I knew exactly what was happening and as I was working to a tight deadline due to moving he was able to advise how to help speed up my recruitment process. In future I would not hesitate to use the service again or recommend them to others.”

JASON W – PRICING ANALYST

“I was contacted by KSA via LinkedIn with a connection request. I had been looking for a new job for about a month so accepted their request. Kirk emailed me almost immediately with details of a job that I might be interested in. We spoke at lunchtime the same day, and organised an interview for the following day. I was very nervous and told Kirk this on the morning of the interview and he sent me back the most amazing, encouraging and thoughtful email which built my confidence. I went along to the interview in my lunch hour and had a job offer by the end of the day.

Kirk have been amazing throughout the whole process, kept me informed at all times and still continue to offer support and advise while I work my notice period. To have a job within 36 hours of connecting with KSA via Linked in was outstanding. Since dealing with Kirk and KSA Recruitment I have recommended their services to many people and will continue to do so. “

RAY F – ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

“I registered with KSA Recruitment in January 2014 and dealt with Kirk Stannett. From the outset Kirk was helpful, informative and extremely professional. He took on board exactly what I was looking for and I felt he made a great effort in my search for alternative employment. When he informed me of the position with RA Insurance I was extremely interested and agreed for Kirk to submit my details. He then arranged discussions and subsequent interviews, and I was offered the role in March 2014.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank KSA Recruitment, in particular Kirk, for his efforts in finding my new role. I thoroughly enjoy my work, in my eyes he found me the perfect job!”



MATT W – LLOYDS BROKER

“The guys really know their stuff at KSA and their way of business makes the whole process very simple and straightforward. Moreover, it puts you in the driving seat and removes a lot of the obstacles faced when finding the best talent in the market!

Kirk was Professional, efficient, and most importantly getting the right balance between giving me space and persistence when providing me with CV’s. Taking the time to listen to my requirements, Kirk offered a short but good range of options and then listened to my feedback whilst remaining objective and offering other solutions.

I’d thoroughly recommend Kirk and KSA Recruitment to anyone who is currently recruiting.”

NICK B – HEAD OF UNDERWRITING

NIGEL L – DIRECTOR OF A MANAGING GENERAL AGENT

“When we decided to cast our net wider in the search for potential Appointed Representatives we decided to work with a small number of independent Recruitment Companies who had established a good market reputation.

Amongst the first of these was KSA Recruitment and from the day we started working with them, KSA have shown great energy and enthusiasm, working closely with us to identify a number of really good candidates, some of whom are now working as Appointed Representatives of The Gauntlet Group.

Kirk Stannett has been a breath of fresh air, working within the brief we gave him in a very professional and focused manor at all times and we look forward to achieving mutual success in the future.”
