When your People Matter Most

“I have worked with Susi as both a customer and then a client for many years. Susi provided me with excellent insight and understanding of any potential employers when I was seeking work myself by delivering exactly what had been promised. Then as a client myself Susi became an excellent contact and client manager, taking the time and the effort to find out exactly what I was looking for and providing me with lots of choice. I came to trust Susi completely, as I was never let down and I would recommend her services wholeheartedly.”

“My relationship with Edwards & Pearce strengthens with each assignment. Without doubt they are a professional organisation with integrity and consultants who work hard to build rapport with clients so that they deliver a shortlist of candidates from whom it is difficult to make a selection because they all ‘fit’. At least, that’s my experience!”

“I have no hesitation in recommending Edwards & Pearce as an excellent recruitment service provider, we found them to be both very professional & efficient in the way they managed the recruitment assignment given to them. It was equally refreshing to hear the positive comments from the candidates themselves regarding their relationship with E&P concerning the communication and preparation process during interview selection. I would certainly use E&P for any future recruitment assignments.”

'I really appreciate your help with this role Susi - I absolutely could not have done it without you.'

We have worked with Edwards and Peace for almost 3 years, and I’ve dealt with multiple recruiters at this agency during this time including Becka, Jenny, Jen and Susi. The service received has always been great.

You can speak honestly with the team about what you’re looking for and they are always understanding of the operational priorities of the business and tailor that around the candidates sent over.

Each recruiter has their area of expertise and that leads to quality candidates been sent over and a good knowledge of the market at the time you need it.

We’re very happy to work alongside Edwards & Pearce for our recruiting needs.

‘I’ve worked with Jen on several temporary contracts this year, and always found her to be highly efficient and responsive to our needs. Jen is quick to understand our requirements, and to know the candidates who cannot only perform well within the role required, but also fit in well within our team. We are delighted with the service she supplies and look forward to continuing working with her in the future!’

Felicity is so genuine and honest in what she wants to help the business achieve. What Felicity does isn’t just coaching or training, it’s helping people to understand the strengths as individuals and as teams and aligning that with the business. We regularly use Felicity’s methods to understand our teams better and focus both now and future state.

"Felicity worked with our managers over several months. She is a natural leader and that’s why she had so much impact. She genuinely believes that leadership is about finding and unlocking a passion, meaning everyone can contribute and feel fulfilled. This really helped our teams achieve their goals and more!"

“Felicity has been a breath of fresh air in her approach with our team. We have all benefited from new levels of focus thanks to her not beating around the bush on important topics".

“Felicity is quite possibly the most engaging coach I have ever come across. She showed such empathy and compassion for the challenges we face and yet somehow managed to turn this into a tenacious focus and commitment to change the way we do things as a team. We are energised, positive and ready to go in 2025!”.

CEO Private Sector. Leeds.

Feedback from a client following our Courageous Leadership Program. The team of 18 were supported to take a close look at their current behaviours and create an ambitious plan to move them forward to achieve their goals. Felicity and the team at Courage People use the most pioneering science and powerful feedback tools to engage teams in the reality of their current behaviours and the power they hold to do things differently. The program consisted of 2 in person workshops with the whole group, and 3 coaching sessions, done on Teams, with each key leader. The nature of their work meant that this CEO requested to remain anonymous, but we have many more case studies like this and the best testimonial of all, a no obligation meeting to discuss the changes you would like to see in your people. Put the kettle on, CALL US NOW and let’s see how we can help.

“Edwards & Pearce have provided me with invaluable support, guidance and advice on both the current employment market and my future prospects. I found they were very easily able to match my employment needs with those of prospective employers and have provided me with numerous opportunities which have helped to both focus and fast track my career.”

“I have known Susi for more than 5 years now. She never fails to impress me with her skill in matching client and candidate. Her knowledge of each candidate is superb and when I have been a candidate with her, she has always been thorough, enthusiastic and motivational in preparing me for interview. Her understanding of the marketplace and her engaging way with people, whether hiring or job seeking, is exceptional. She is unquestionably one of the best recruitment specialists I have ever encountered! As an added bonus she is a delightful person whose sense of fun, in the right moments of course, makes for a very enjoyable working relationship!”

“Would just like to say a huge thank you to Jenny at Edwards & Pearce for finding me a great new position yet again. Over the past 15 years she has always been friendly, incredibly hardworking on my behalf and a consummate professional.”

I have got to say registering with Edwards and Pearce was the best thing I could have done. I applied for a role to which I was contacted quickly and professionally by Jen Calvert. She arranged me an interview with the company and quickly after arranged me a second at another role she thought would suit myself. 

Jen kept me updated and was very helpful in any queries I had and made me feel at ease whilst searching for a job.

Quickly after my interviews I had received feedback and Jen fed this back to me followed by a job offer. I am so grateful to Jen for helping me find a job role which I can see myself fitting in to and enjoying for years to come. I will most definitely be recommending Edwards and Pearce especially Jen to anyone I know struggling to find work or wanting a change in career.

Thank you again for all your help Jen you’ve been an absolute diamond! 
 

‘Hi Susi. I just wanted to thank you for identifying the perfect match between myself and my new role. Because of you and your hard work, attention to detail, we made a great match and I'm enjoying the role. Thanks again’

'Felicity was my coach at a time when I was going through a career transition, moving between sectors, and looking for a role which will match my values and advance my best skills. Her experience coupled up with her honesty and interactive approach to coaching helped me revalue my skills and abilities and enhance my team leadership style. I consider Felicity a trusted business partner.'

Edwards & Pearce With You for Every Step of Your Journey.
I was contacted by senior recruitment consultant from Edwards & Pearce Ltd, Becka Chittell, about an opportunity within a highly regarded construction company, the service and background work put in by Becka can only be described as first rate, no stone was left unturned.
Becka certainly went the extra mile in presenting all the relevant information to ensure that I had the very best chance of success during the recruitment process.
Always keen to pass on any additional information, feedback or words of encouragement.
I found the whole experience an enjoyable one.
Thanks again Becka'

"Extremely happy with Steve and the team at Edwards & Pearce, couldn't thank you enough for your help during my time working with Edwards & Pearce.

You have been amazing and very helpful throughout this process.

I would highly recommend Edwards & Pearce and am very grateful for having you as my agent."

"I just wanted to say how helpful Sophie has been this past week whilst I have been looking for a job as I have recently left university. I applied for only one job and she immediately contacted me regarding an alternative job that she believed would be more suitable for me. I went for the interview on Monday and got this job! I wouldn't have even known this job existed without Sophie's help. When I informed her that I had got the job she was genuinely happy for me, and I cannot thank her enough for helping me with this process."

"I would love to leave a review for Sophie Skelton.  She has been an absolute pleasure to talk to whether that be over the phone or via email! She is so kind and so willing to help which is so amazing to see. I couldn’t thank her enough for all her hard work towards helping me"

"Thanks for forwarding my CV, Susi called me, and we had a great conversation. She knows her stuff and gave me some really good advice and pointers. I came out of it feeling energised and positive and can’t thank you enough!"

“Jen was very helpful in securing me a role. I had to leave my previous job suddenly and I was concerned about finding a new role quickly. Jen got rid of all my worries and was very responsive. Sent me good luck texts for interviews as well as calling for feedback and even came and brought me a congratulatory Prosecco and card in my second week of work. Would highly recommend!” 

"After spending months looking for a new job, I applied for a role through Edwards & Pearce recruitment.
From there I was put in contact with Michael. After a few phone calls to understand who I was and what I was looking for he swiftly helped me apply for roles in which he felt I would excel. He kept in contact, walked me through things if I didn’t understand them and made me feel listened to.
Even throughout a busy Christmas period he was still on hand to answer my questions.
Michael found a job opportunity for me very quickly and despite me feeling hesitant as it was in a sector I had never worked before he made me feel inspired to give it a shot.
Wishing me luck before both interviews and calling me to see how they went really made my day and inspired so much hope for me.
Within two weeks I had been hired and feel like I am fitting in perfectly to my new role at a truly wonderful workplace.
The role is not something I would have ever considered but Michael knew this role suited me and I simply cannot thank him enough."
 

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Jen for helping me on finding my perfect job.  Throughout the process she had been encouraging and supportive. She has helped me get a great job with a great team. I cannot thank her enough for all her help. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a job to suit them. 

I would just like to say that Sophie has been extremely helpful and kept me fully informed every step of the way in securing me a position.

I would definitely use this agency again and would recommend you and the company to friends/family as I cannot fault the service that I received and would definitely recommend a 5 star review.

Thank you especially to Sophie but the rest of the team also who were willing to help and were very competent.
 

“Thank you Susi. I take all your advice on board and concur everything you say. What I would like to say is, you are the best recruiter I have ever experienced, you really do go above and beyond, I am so impressed and confident in your services & thank you for believing in me and my abilities. You are a unique person/recruiter & I cannot recommend you enough. You cannot improve in anyway - keep up what you are doing”. (sic)

"A recruiter is more than just a person who fills job vacancies; they are strategic partners in building an organisation's workforce. Their skills in talent acquisition, relationship building, employer branding, and market research are invaluable. Despite the challenges they face, recruiters play a crucial role in shaping the future of organisations by ensuring they have the right people in the right roles. The impact of a recruiter’s work is far-reaching, affecting not only the immediate hiring outcomes but also the long-term success and growth of the organisation.

We all have an opinion on how to recruit, often without experiencing the role ourselves, yet we become self-proclaimed experts in the profession. Frequently, LinkedIn is filled with stories of poor recruitment practices. Allow me to share a refreshing and positive experience I had with a recruiter. Susi Johnston, please take a bow.

Having engaged with numerous recruiters for team sourcing, I recognise that there are many outstanding professionals in this field. However, it is essential to acknowledge and commend an individual when they provide an exceptional experience.

I genuinely believe Susi had my best interests at heart. She invested her time to truly understand me, discerning the roots of my drive, determination, and values. This thorough understanding ensured that the company she introduced me to would be a perfect fit, allowing me to be my authentic self at work. This couple of hours spent with Susi made me feel valued and understood, as she aligned me with a role and, more importantly, a business where I would thrive, and my contributions would be appreciated.

Susi communicated exceptionally well, following up as promised, even when there was no update. She checked in regularly and sent a message on the day of my interview, wishing me every success. Thank you, Susi, and a huge well done for keeping the professions values at the heart of what you do."
