Testimonials

  • From the very first conversation we had, you’ve been consistently professional, approachable, and supportive throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how available and responsive you’ve been even outside of standard hours, and on your days off, you’ve always made time to speak, answer questions, and offer guidance or reassurance when it was needed. That level of commitment and personal touch is rare and hugely appreciated.

    I’d absolutely recommend you and Beach Baker to anyone looking for a high-level, well-managed recruitment experience. You’ve made what could’ve been a stressful process genuinely enjoyable, and I am very grateful for that.

    I look forward to working with you closely in the future.

  • I was recommended to Marie Skuce at Beach Baker by someone I knew and I gave her a call straight away. From the first conversation, she was friendly, professional, and asked about my experience, interests, and what I was looking for in my next role. The first phone call she told me about an exciting opportunity that matched my background and interests. I sent her my CV that same day and within hours she had arranged an interview for me. Thanks to her swift and proactive approach, I’m now set to start my new role next week! Marie has been in constant contact throughout the process, always keeping me informed and checking in. I was initially wary about job hunting, having been in my previous role for over four years, but she made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and incredibly positive. I can’t thank Marie enough for her support and guidance and I highly recommend her to anyone considering a new opportunity.

  • I have used Matthew a few times as a candidate, but this was the first time I have used him to hire a member of my team. Having experienced the great service as a candidate, I knew that I wanted Matthew to help fill the role.

    As expected, the process was as professional as I imagined, starting with the brilliant advert, contacting me with potential candidates and in a short period of time interviewing two perfect candidates.

    I didn't think I would from CV's but we went with the candidate that Matthew had said 'I’ve found the one' and already a few weeks in, they have been amazing in the role. I would recommend to other clients like myself.

  • Matthew considered our requirements, acquired further clarifications via a short MS Teams call and then quickly managed to propose a highly suitable candidate for a role that we had previously struggled to fill. A very professional service. We will definitely use Beach Baker again.

  • Nicky Hughes was the recruiter to act for me as the head-hunter for my replacement as Divisional Director at Wakemans Ltd.

    I can honestly say that throughout the process Mrs Hughes acted in a very professional manner, kept me fully informed, searched the market and her own contacts to come up with an initial list, the final choice of candidates Mrs Hughes put forward mainly matched the Company aspirations for the type of person we were seeking.

    Prior to the final choice Mrs Hughes provided very valuable feedback so we could decide whom should attend interviews. Mrs Hughes made sure the candidates were briefed correctly before attending the interview.

    The proof of Mrs Hughes performance is that we have appointed a replacement from a short list of candidates and I can honestly say he is an excellent replacement for me and without Nicky’s efforts this person would have not been found.

    Thank you Nicky, job well done 👍

  • I found my experience with Beach Baker incredibly helpful in my search for the role of Assistant Surveyor. I found the advert for the position on LinkedIn, and shortly after sending an email to Amelia Messenger, she gave me a call to ask about my experience and suitability for the position which was advertised. I found this to be a very personable touch as it allowed me to explain my current employment situation and allowed Amelia to assess whether I would be suitable for the position. Amelia then guided me through the whole application process, ensuring that any updates regarding the process and made the thought of interviews less daunting by providing more information on the team which I am now going to be joining in a fulfilling career. I would highly recommend Beach Baker for their incredible support, professional attitude and all-around service. I would recommend Beach Baker to anyone who is looking for a new career.

  • We are writing to express our thanks for the successful recruitment of three key positions: Senior Estates Surveyor and two Estates Surveyors at Bath & North East Somerset Council.
    Throughout the process, we were impressed by the level of communication and the regular updates provided. The range of candidates presented was excellent, and the pre-interview discussions were both transparent and insightful.
    The collaboration was smooth and added real value, culminating in the appointment of three highly skilled and knowledgeable Estates Surveyors.
    We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to working with Beach Baker again on future recruitment needs. We would recommend their professional service to others in the market.

    Commercial Estate Operations Manager @ Bath and North East Council
  • I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for your exceptional work in helping us secure two surveyors for open positions within our organisation. Throughout the process, your communication was outstanding, and you consistently responded to my inquiries with remarkable speed and clarity. I was particularly impressed by how quickly you identified and presented strong candidates, and by your proactive follow-up with both us and the candidates to ensure a seamless placement.

    One aspect that stood out to me was your initiative in presenting a candidate for one role that had not been part of our initial discussions. While we ultimately did not move forward with that candidate, I greatly appreciated your foresight and creativity in suggesting someone who could have been an excellent fit. It demonstrated your ability to think beyond the immediate scope and provide value in unexpected ways.

    Additionally, I was truly impressed by your thoughtful approach post-placement. You took the time to check in with our team members to address any concerns and even followed up with us to offer support for one individual dealing with imposter syndrome in their new role. This level of care and attention speaks volumes about your commitment to ensuring long-term success and satisfaction.

    I have already recommended your services to a colleague in the industry, and I will continue to do so in the future. Thank you again Nicky for your hard work, professionalism, and dedication.
