“…I just want to say thank you for helping me get this job. Hopefully it'll be the start of something really good. You treated me like an individual and understood my needs (unlike other agencies) and your confidence and brilliant attitude/humour kept me motivated.”

ICR is similar to a good sports commentator. They are knowledgeable, passionate yet objective, instinctively know when to say something of value and just as important know when not to say anything at all.
Steven Morrissey – Pastest
“Just on a separate matter, I wanted to say thanks in general. Unlike
some of your counterparts within the recruitment world you always
acknowledge and return my calls/e-mails and give me a genuine feeling that you are truly representing my best interests. There are other people out there who could take a leaf out of your book.”

Creative Resource offered constant support throughout my search for a job and unlike other recruitment consultants, only put me forward for jobs that interested me and were most suitable for my qualifications and skills set. Creative resource offered a very personal service and I would not hesitate in directing any of my colleagues there should they be looking for work in the future. ACCOUNT HANDLER – MANCHESTER
ICR have placed 3 candidates in as many months for me - after a number of months unsuccessful searching with other agencies. The professional yet personal approach taken to putting candidates forward is second to none. ICR really get to know their candidates and only put forward truly perfect matches - the open and honest opinions ensure that interviews are always worthwhile and the task it choosing between the candidates! The speed at which candidates call ICR post-interview and then call in to fill me in is absolutely amazing - really emphasising the relationship ICR build with both candidates and clients. ICR are up for a challenge too, if they don't have a suitable candidate immediately, they will go out and find one, which is what they did for me. I would not hesitate to use ICR for any positions I need filling with quality people and quickly!! CLIENT – MANCHESTER
“Creative Resource has helped me to obtain my perfect job.
After having tried to contact numerous Public Relation agencies and apply for a number of vacancies off my own back with little success, I decided to register with a number of recruitment agencies to better my chances.
I discovered Creative Resource on the Internet, they where not the first agency I originally signed up to, however I wish they had been as it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.
A number of recruitment consultants I registered with prior to Creative Resource let me down greatly, not communicating with me on a regular basis, and in one particular case not contacting me at all.
My consultant at Creative Resource was…..willing to go to any length to find the perfect position for me. She really listened to what I wanted from employment as an individual, and supplied me with relevant information prior to interviews which helped me a great deal.
I would not hesitate in recommending Creative Resource to anyone seeking employment, particularly graduates just out of University who find it very difficult to pitch themselves in a competitive industry.
I am really grateful to Creative Resource …... I will definitely be using them when searching for future employment. Eleanor Ralph, Graduate in Public Relations – MIDLANDS
“Firstly, the position is very good. Whilst I haven't been involved in loads yet I can see where it is going and it's exactly as you'd described and also what I want to be doing which is brilliant.
Secondly, I wanted to comment on the manner in which you dealt with me. After previous irritations from dealing with recruitment agencies I was originally quite sceptical. However, from the first meeting you were very open, realistic and provided good advice about the position that would suit me. Having an initial interview and completing a personality test indicated that as an agency you had a professional approach, which was continued throughout. This allowed me to feel comfortable that you knew what would suit me and wouldn't send me to interviews simply to 'make up the numbers'.
Throughout the whole process it was clear that you're main concern was getting me placed in the right position in the right company. This was particularly apparent after a few initial set backs. When most agencies would've gone cold, you provided great advice and feedback on interview technique, questions etc. As a recent graduate with a serious lack of experience the recruitment process is a daunting one and completely unknown. Therefore, it was great to be guided throughout it. This eventually led to a great position with so far a great company who are going places.
I would like to say that Creative Resource are one of the very few recruitment agencies (the only one I have dealt with) that take care about the positions they put you forward for and continually provide advice and guidance. I will happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for a marketing based job.” ACCOUNT HANDLER – MANCHESTER
'My consultant at Creative Resource was fantastic at finding me a job! He was very professional and went above and beyond what I expected from a recruitment consultant. Throughout the time I was job hunting, he regularly updated me on upcoming jobs and interviews. When I had interviews, he gave me all information possible and was also extremely helpful with any websites to look up and what sort of things to research before I went to the interview. Since I had little experience in marketing I feel that he was utterly responsible for me finding the job I wanted, as I am now working for a marketing promotions agency, and I couldn't have done it without him.' ACCOUNT HANDLER – MANCHESTER
‘Active resource lives up to their name perfectly. They are THE most proactive and friendly agency that I have dealt with. The application process and interviews were smooth and speedy, with no long gaps. Communication was clear and to the point. The company and their staff really are a breath of fresh air in an industry that is otherwise quite bogged down.
Thank you very much too all the staff in the Birmingham branch who have helped me get my dream job. The future’s looking very bright right now, and you were instrumental in getting me here.’ Candidate – Birmingham
‘Having embarked on my career path after leaving University I have encountered many different recruitment agencies and consultancies along the way. Each one has given me a great sales pitch about what they were going to do for me, and my career but in the end delivered nothing. Active Resource went above and beyond what I would have expected any recruiter to do. They took time to find out what I was like as a person, and as an Industrial designer and made sure that I would fit the job specification and the company as a whole.
I can't overemphasize how co-operative and supportive Active Resource were though the application and interview process. They even helped with the transition between my old and new jobs, giving me invaluable advice on how to deal with my old employers during my notice period. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all concerned at Active Resource for their hard work and diligence, and I can't recommend their services highly enough.’ Designer –Birmingham
“I would just like to thank you so much again for all your help, support and dedication. As I mentioned yesterday, you have restored my faith in recruitment agencies and the whole experience I have had with Creative Resource has been fantastic. I will definitely recommend you!
I know when I last looked at your site (I can't access it at the moment) that you have testimonials from people. I would be delighted for you to add some words on from me as I have been so thrilled with the experience.” Marketing Exec - Midlands
