Hi Curtis,
Just wanted to thank you for all your help and assistance in finding me the position with N Power.
It has been a real pleasure to have made your acquaintance and your assistance has been so valuable. Probably fair to say I wouldn't be looking at starting a new job with a new company if it wasn't for your excellent skills.
Your communication has been great too, keeping me informed every step of the way. ACT should be proud of you.
Thanks once again Curtis. I owe you a beer!
Kind regards,
B Dickinson

“I am very careful who I recommend as I believe that the individual needs to live up to the recommendation or it is my reputation at stake.
For this reason, I am pleased to be able to recommend Curtis. Curtis has been exceptionally professional, focused and is one of those rare recruiters that, along with the team he works with, aim to secure the best candidates for the roles that are right for both parties.
Most recruiters seek to simply secure their next commission, Not ACT. They are a unique and good organisation, aiming to work in partnership with their client

Curtis,
Just a quick email to highlight and thank the great work carried out by Curtis in giving me an opportunity to excel in a role and company that I am excited to be associated with you.
Nothing has been too much trouble in finding out answers and everything has been done with the utmost professionalism and urgency.
It has been a pleasure dealing with ACT and a far more enjoyable experience than any other Agency that has contacted me beforehand.
Thank you.

“Carlsberg don’t do Recruitment Consultants, but if they did it would be Colin Tovey”
Having dealt with over 20 separate recruitment agencies following a redundancy from my previous role I can say with absolute certainty that my experience with Colin and ACT was by far the most positive one.
From the outset Colin treated me as a fellow professional and did not at any time make me feel like I was just a statistic. Colin took the time to discuss the role in detail and provided valuable guidance on preparing for the interview.
ACT are very proactive and provided timely updates throughout the entire process and always made me feel that they had my best interests at heart and I would highly recommend them.
Regards,

Curtis,
I just like to thank you for all you help and guidance in securing a position at Dunelm.
Please pass my thanks to all at ACT as without all of you I would not have found this position.
Your professionalism in handling my case was exemplary and I would have no hesitation in recommending ACT.
Quality Assurance Manager – Dunelm Mill
It was due to ACT Management Solutions that I was placed with Imtech ICT, their skills and perseverance has been exceptional and I found it very easy to deal with Colin and ACT.
I would recommend Colin to anyone, if he phones you out of the blue it is for a genuine reason and for me it was very worthwhile!
UK PreSales Cognos lead, IMTECH – Technical Services & Business Intelligence Solutions
As a contractor I was surprised by the refreshing attitude and working ethos displayed by ACT. This is the first time in 15 years of contracting I felt I could really trust the recruitment agency/recruiter. Colin’s up front no nonsense approach made me feel that more of a partner than an asset. I was kept appraised of what was going on at all times. (Without Prompting).
It's a pity more recruiters do not behave in this way!
Technical / Data Centre Programme Manager – Migration Solutions
During my contact with ACT I can only say that they have acted with the utmost professionalism, both before and after my appoint. The company provided ample support for the interview, including background information, possible question to and from the interviewing and following up after the interview to confirm how it had gone. The continuing follow up after appoint is a breath of fresh air in light of my dealings with other recruiters.
Health & Safety Manager - Data Centre Provider - Sentrum
ACT provided an excellent service. Their brief, guidance, interview training and thoroughness helped me to land the position I now have. My future looks exciting, from the moment I was contacted it was clear that this recruiter was different. The process was efficient and effective, I was taken through the prelims of the role. I was one of four candidates in the process, following a deep 1-2-1 interview delving into every corner of my past, I was verbally offered the role. My references came back positive, I was informed i'd landed the role as site manager for a progressive Technology focused construction company. Once again my many thanks for your time and effort you put in on my behalf.
Forever grateful, Keith.

“Colin is a Professional with capital P ! He has in-depth knowledge of the Programme & Project Management skill sector. Works towards building quality relationships with candidates and his clients. Attention to detail and value delivery are more important to Colin than rushing out quick and half-baked material. Good person to know.”

“Colin is a highly professional recruiter specializing in telecoms. He convinced me to apply for a role that wasn’t in my radar. I was totally intrigued to pursue that opportunity because he had equipped me with his industry knowledge, company insight, 360-degree personality and cultural analysis. He is not a “time-wasting” recruiter but a "career advancement" partner who always delivers on his promises and expects you to do the same.” June 19, 2008

“Colin approached me 'out of the blue' with an opportunity I subsequently accepted. Without Colin's explanation and guidance, I may have rejected the proposal. Based on my experience, Colin is therefore undoubtedly an expert in search & selection, and a good guy to do business with.” June 16, 2008

“Colin Tovey - working with Colin has been a breath of fresh air, his approach to work is impeccable and he an expert in 'selling' people into organisations as opposed to finding a fit for a specific position. This leads to the role being tailored around the individual which in my mind is far more valuable than the 'stock' process of head-hunting or candidate searches.” June 5, 2008
