Having worked with Carl and the team at ECS for the past 6 years, I would have no hesitation in recommending the Resource services they offer. ECS have fulfilled niche and hard to find IT resource where other suppliers have failed. They take time to truly understand our client’s needs and ensure the appropriate resource is found and then managed whilst on our customers sites through their contractor management programme to ensure we mitigate any risk.

ECS have supported and mentored my team with the new Resource as a Service offering. We have worked in partnership to help identify client requirements, competitor analysis and identify key stakeholders utilising their Client discovery process to ensure our sales team have the knowledge and data to have the relevant dialogue regarding IT resource. To date we have seen success across some key accounts with new revenue generated. The service ECS offer is unique and shows a true partnership.

I’ve worked with Paul for over 20 years, both in placing me and finding quality candidates at all levels. He delivers quality by getting to understand my requirements fully, not rushing (but I have had to ask him to on more than one occasion to meet unplanned events) and I have always got what I need. His candidates trust him. How do I know? Because they tell me. Fun to deal with, I trust him and his network of contacts, and I hope to do so for many more years. 

Responsive, Direct, Professional. Paul is a consummate professional. His knowledge of the market is exceptional has a real “customer first” attitude. Paul has been a supplier to us for over 15 years, however I would honestly call him more of a trusted advisor. His optimism is infectious and his can-do attitude means that when we needed things doing right Paul and his team were the ones we rang. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul – If you are looking for hard-to-find staff, in niche areas, and at a moment’s notice then no one will work harder to make it happen for you than Paul and his team. He’s not a bad golfer either…

Paul is an experienced first class recruiter who’s dynamic approach ensure he takes the time out to understand the needs of the business. Paul is extremely personable who holds high values which reflect in the flexible way he approaches his work. Paul operates with a high degree of integrity and constantly strives to go the ‘extra mile’ ensuring he does everything possible to stay ahead in a very competitive and challenging market place. Having worked with Paul on a number of key recruitment assignments over the past 15 years I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul’s recruitment service to other organisations.

Chris Bicknell helped me with my first job in the UK. Being new to the country, it was hard for me to find a job but he guided me through each and every step and placed me on my first contract job. He was very helpful from the day he spoke to me about the role, till the first day I joined the company and made sure I was comfortable throughout the contract .Very professional and approachable personality. I could say without a doubt that he helped me jump-start my career after relocating to UK. I would recommend Chris to everyone who is looking for an IT job in the UK.

An absolute professional with genuine concern for his clients. I gladly recommend Matt as he stands head and shoulders above other recruitment agents. I built a great rapport with Matt and he had a noticeable understanding of the pressures and stresses of having to find new employment. He kept me fully updated of every detail at every stage, making sure my confidence never dwindled. I was always left fully prepared for each stage of the interview process. As anticipated, he placed me in the perfect job that is a clear step forward on my career path.

Natalie I was my main point of contact with the agency (ECS) whilst I was working on one of their Contracts. Natalie was a joy to work for, always polite and professional, happy to help with anything she could and a credit to the company she works for.

Matt was instrumental in me securing my next current role. He supplied me with a clear history on the company, its ethos and feedback on the role itself. He made clear the pros and cons of the position prior to my attendance at my interview, allowing me to make an informed decision on the organisation prior to the interview stage. Through the whole process, Matt kept me appraised at all stages. Matt is a consummate professional and I would utilise/recommend him in any further endeavours.

Natalie has helped place me at various contracts throughout my career in IT. Natalie will often send an email or call me to see how things are going on with my current work assignments whether placed through her or other agencies. Natalie is approachable, friendly and always willing to help. ECS/Natalie are one of a few agencies I always pass onto my colleagues when they are looking for work…keep it up!

It was a fantastic opportunity to have worked with Chris. He is professional, a good leader and motivator. Working with him has added excessive experience to my CV.

Matt was a recruitment consultant that I have worked with a few times in the past, he has been a great help towards my career and really cares about the people he finds roles for. I have and will continue to recommend my colleagues and friends to speak to Matt when looking for a new challenge or opportunity.

ECS have been pivotal to my ongoing success with 3M. Since joining 3M through ECS, I have received ongoing support and guidance which has repeatedly resulted in improvements in my position and my ongoing contract. Whilst ECS have been supportive. Professionally, they have also provided a personal element to the situation whereby I’ve felt I’m contacting friends rather than a stranger behind the phone/screen. I would and have personally recommended ECS to others and will continue to do so in the future.

It was such a pleasure working with Chris – he always came through on his promises, he was focused on making sure the role and I were a good match, he helped me with interview prep, and there is no one more positive about anything than Chris! I cannot recommend Chris highly enough, to both candidates and employers – you won’t regret having Chris in your corner.

Matthew is committed, honest and of high integrity. I’m not in the habit of recommending recruitment agents but in Matt’s case I have made an exception. He works hard at striking a professional balance between hirer and consultant and manages the selection process really well. Once he had placed me in a role his support was first class.
