  • Matthew listens to your requirements and clearly has a good understanding of the surveying world, particularly smaller building surveying practices. He very quickly identified possible suitable companies and arranged interviews with existing contacts. This produced multiple offers and he kept everyone informed at all times with no pressure. I would not hesitate to recommend him to candidates and businesses looking for their next move or to recruit.

    PAUL STAYTE, PROJECT MANAGER @ CHANCERYGATE
  • Chancerygate recently opened a new regional office in Bristol. To support our new Development Director, we approached Matthew to assist is recruiting a Project Manager with Industrial experience.A short TEAMs meeting was held with Matthew to provide a job description and expectations of necessary experience. Within a short period of time, Matthew produced a number of CV’s of potential candidates. Whilst some candidates appeared stronger than others, we were happy to interview all as met the brief. Matthew arranged a day of interviews in Bristol at Beach Bakers offices from which we identified a preferred candidate and shortly after made an appointment. The process was very easy and should we have further requirements I would have no hesitation in approaching Matthew again.  
    DIRECTOR & HEAD OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT @ CHANCERYGATE
  • I had not directly worked with Matthew or Beach Baker previously but over many years during my time at CBRE and Black Cat Matthew was the only recruitment agent in Bristol that was repeatedly mentioned amongst my peers. Accordingly when the time came for us to recruit at Black Cat it was natural for me to call Matthew. I am delighted that I pursued my instinct as within a short period of time of contacting Matthew he had secured us the right candidate.

    Matthew was very attentive and proactive throughout the recruitment process and it was Matthew encouraging me along rather than the other way around. I was particularly pleased that Matthew suggested some candidates that were not always exactly what we were targeting but who might interest us for other reasons.

    We will certainly use Matthew and Beach Baker for our next recruitment requirement, which we hope will be towards the end of 2022. 

    DIRECTOR & HEAD OF OFFICE @ BLACK CAT BUILDING CONSULTANCY

We were very pleased with the regular contact and updates during recruiting process with yourselves and felt that you provided us with a good range of candidates and appreciated the open and informative pre interview discussions.

We look forward to working with you again on our new search and would recommend Beach Baker’s first-class service within the recruitment market.

    NIGEL WINGFIELD, CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR @ UNIVERSITY OF READING
  • I cannot recommend Matthew more highly, he was so helpful during the whole recruitment process. Matthew got in contact with me about a few new job opportunities and after a few interviews he placed me in a role as Major Projects Manager at Avon Fire and Rescue.

    This is a job I don’t feel I would have applied for due to me potentially not believing in myself highly enough and Matthew was the one to give me that push I needed to secure the job!

    Matthew’s communication throughout was so reassuring and although for my first interview he was on leave a swift handover to a colleague was seamless and the approachable, understandable employees of Beach Baker didn’t go unnoticed!

    Many thanks again Matthew for your hard work and belief, to place me in my new job role.

    MAJOR PROJECTS MANAGER @ AVON FIRE & RESCUE
