Vicki Hawkes – National BDM – HOPPE

“Very knowledgeable of the industry, they have some excellent contacts and have sourced both employees and employers, all of which have been excellent matches.”

I’ve known SFR Recruitment for some years now, they have helped me out both as a candidate and as an employer.

I have used agencies in the past and Matthew and the team’s knowledge of the market sector has enabled them to put forward candidates who were a good “fit” for the role, they were selective and understood the requirements and the job specification, this was also prevalent when I was personally seeking a new role myself.

Matthew had recently contact me regarding a candidate, unfortunately we were not in a position to offer anything, however the candidate in question would have been an ideal solution, if there was a position available.

I would definitely recommend that you at least, have the conversation with them, I can assure you that they are extremely proficient and professional in the way they manage both candidates and clients.

“Matthew’s regular updates throughout the interview/recruitment process were very professional and his advice very much appreciated”

‘The prospect of looking for a new role in the current COVID climate was a daunting prospect. Matthew at SFR has been very patient with me as rather than jump in to the first opportunity that came my way, I wanted the ‘right job at the right company’. Matthew’s connections within the industry and the general SFR updates on sites such as LinkedIn meant that I was kept updated with available opportunities within my area and as a result found my new opportunity.

Matthew’s regular updates throughout the interview/recruitment process were very professional and his advice very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew and SFR Recruitment Solutions to anyone looking for their next challenge within the industry.’

Once I decided I wanted a new challenge I contacted Matthew who was known through the industry and came highly recommended.

Through previous experiences I was sceptical as some recruiters can be unapproachable and unreachable.

“I have worked with Matthew Robinson for over 5 years. What I like is the way he listens, learns and so understands the type of employee I am looking for, probably better than I do”

In any business recruiting the right people is one of the most important but difficult tasks, yet many of us try to go it alone because we believe as managers that we somehow have the skills, time and contacts to do so. I have learned over the years, but especially over the last 7, whilst leading the Truedor and IG Doors sales teams, that getting help from real experts like SFR Recruitment Solutions is both vital and cost effective.

I have worked with Matthew Robinson for over 5 years. What I like is the way he listens, learns and so understands the type of employee I am looking for, probably better than I do. I always know that by the time I get to interviewing a shortlist, Matthew will have made sure that they are the ”right fit” for our business, our team and the role – this actually makes my final decision even harder as I only get the best to choose from!

Every one of my recruits via SFR Recruitment Solutions has proved to be exactly the right character for the team. I strongly recommend SFR Recruitment Solutions for getting you the best shortlist of candidates.

“I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and continuous dedication”

Thank you so much for all your efforts on my behalf. I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and continuous dedication, it is not easy what you do but you do it well, with the upmost professionalism. 

These are unprecedented times but with your excellent reputation and contacts anyone within the Architectural Ironmongery trade with an ounce of sense should contact SFR Recruitment Solutions. 

I really wish you all the best in your own career because whilst we are so absorbed with worrying about our own future, we forget that you have one too.

“All the staff at SFR Recruitment Solutions were excellent to deal with”

I had the occasion to replace a very well loved area sales manager earlier this year and engaged a number of recruitment operatives, all were very capable and put forward, in the main, very decent applicants for us to interview. Matthew at SFR Recruitment Solutions had the advantage of understanding the industry that I work in but not relying wholly on this he engaged with me to talk about the character needed to “fulfil” the role rather than “just be in” the role. He listened to me and we debated anything he needed clarification on.

I am not sure how many unsuitable applicants he did not put forward to me but the selection he gave us as a company were of a very high standard. The choice was not an easy one. Matthew had briefed them well as to what we as a company are about, as well as the rudiments of the roll requirements. 

This consulting approach was indeed very welcoming as selecting a particular person for a role in such a specialist industry is not easy and can be expensive to get wrong. All the staff at SFR Recruitment Solutions were excellent to deal with and with Matthew I have a recruitment expert who I can (and will when the opportunity arises) engage with again, meanwhile we have regular catch up conversations, not along the lines of “ got any vacancies coming up” but on a B2B stance which is really refreshing.

Tim Goss (Client)

National Sales Manager – Simonswerk 

“I have worked with other agencies and recruiters, but none have come close to his professionalism, communication or commitment”

I have found SFR Recruitment Solutions to be an outstanding agency. Matthew has been exceptional throughout the recruitment process. He maintained frequent contact and took the time to keep me up-to-date every step of the way. I have worked with other agencies and recruiters, but none have come close to his professionalism, communication or commitment.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending SFR Recruitment Solutions and their team.

“After losing my job due to COVID-19 I did not have a clue on where to start with my CV”

I just wanted to say what a big help you and SFR Recruitment Solutions have been during this troubled time for me. After losing my job due to COVID-19 I did not have a clue on where to start with my CV, you have provided great advice on not only structuring my CV but making me realise I had missed a lot of key information off as a result. I have already recommended some of my contacts to you in case they decide to seek help with their CV, so once again thank you very much for your help!

Ryan Holmes 

“Matthew has kept me informed and guided me through the process every step of the way”

I just want to pass on my immense gratitude for what Matthew and the team has done for me over the last couple of months. From our initial conversation right through to the offering of my contract Matthew has kept me informed and guided me through the process every step of the way. Not only just that but Matthew has been there to offer support and knowledge unlike no other recruitment service.

I now have my dream role working for a fantastic company, and that wouldn’t be possible without your industry knowledge and experience.

To top it off I have just received a new job card from the SFR Recruitment Solutions team! Absolutely amazing work and would recommend SFR Recruitment Solutions to anyone!

“I was kept in the loop constantly being advised what the next step would be”

May I take this opportunity in complimenting SFR Recruitment from the moment they made contact with myself their professionalism was tremendous, within 3 days I found myself with a contract with Sevenday Windows.

I was kept in the loop constantly being advised what the next step would be, and follow up asking how my new role was progressing and how I was being treated, and if the job was as advertised by SFR Recruitment Solutions.

I would recommend SFR Recruitment to find the right individual for any Company.

Mark Rolfe

“He reassured me when I was doubting myself and found me the perfect job!”

“Excellent!”

Matt was excellent throughout the process, both pre and post interview.  He kept me well informed and was very helpful.  I would highly recommend.

Area Sales Manager – South, Alpro Architectural Hardware

“I would highly recommend them to people looking for the next move or those looking to recruit!”

I first spoke to Matthew at the end of 2018 where he thought there was some roles that would be of interest to me, at the time I chose not to move. However we stayed in touch throughout 2019, where in November another role came up that was exactly what I was looking for.

Matthew was fantastic throughout the process, knowledgeable about the security industry and attentive through the process.

I’ve always been a little sceptical with recruiters due to a few bad experiences, I can say that SFR Recruitment Solutions and Matthew in particular have been fantastic and I would highly recommend them to people looking for the next move or those looking to recruit. Also the congratulations card at the end was a nice touch.

“The team are bright, commercial, insightful and operate as true recruitment consultants!”

I receive a short shortlist of candidates that meet my brief and often place me in the rare position of picking between excellent candidates.
