Candidates

“As a candidate seeking a senior position in Housing, I was impressed by the time The Housing Executive took to understand my background, my skill set and what I was looking for in a new position. I was confident that they would think very carefully about my suitability for a position before approaching me and I felt very much that they cared about me as an individual and not just as a piece of business. I would not hesitate to recommend them especially if you are looking for a senior position.” Housing Director, G15 RP
I would also like to thank Tony for his support, advice and encouragement over the few weeks we have been in contact. Of the recruitment organisations I have been in touch with, yours has been the most welcoming and professional that I have dealt with. I always had a slightly jaundiced view of recruitment consultants and whilst others have fully lived up to my expectations (in a bad way), The Housing Executive has given me faith in myself and has proved to be the exception in providing a wholly professional service with a personal touch – thank you!” Director of Property Services, G15 RP
