"I have had the pleasure of dealing with a number of professionals within the Brightwater Sales & Marketing team. I have found them to be extremely professional and competent in their approach to recruitment and fulfilling our needs. I was particularly impressed that they had a genuine interest in our business and had a true understanding of the roles to be filled. Brightwater made the effort to visit our site and gain a rounded understanding of our business. I hope to work with them again in the future."

I found Brightwater recruitment provided both an efficient and friendly service. Brightwater's consultants listen and take on board your individual job requirements and ensure that you are quickly and fully updated on appropriate positions as they become available.

In the summer of 2005, CR Bard implemented a direct sales & marketing organisation in Ireland. We needed to build our entire team - a team that would position Bard as a supplier of premium medical devices within the healthcare sector. A team that would be the future of our organisation in Ireland and drive growth for the coming years.

I met with a number of recruitment consultancies to determine who should partner us in this project. Brightwater's professionalism was immediately apparent and their grasp of my needs made it an easy decision to choose Brightwater as our partner in building the new Bard organisation. To date we have recruited 8 team members through Brightwaters Pharmaceutical and Sales & Marketing divisions. We have a fantastic team of high performing, high achievers and major credit goes to Brightwater for sourcing quality candidates and managing those candidates as they joined Bard.

Now that we have successfully recruited a Financial Controller for the Glenbeigh Group, I thought it appropriate that I would write and thank you for the professional way the assignment was handled by Brightwater and to express my appreciation.

In particular, I would like to thank and acknowledge the role played by my consultant in the Accountancy -Industry & Commerce Team. They were extremely professional, thorough, courteous and all in all delivered a great service. Their follow-up was top class and they were a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation recommending the team and Brightwater. Once again thank you for your interest in the assignment and for the way it was handled.

In seeking applicants for the position of Accounts Assistant, I approached Brightwater on the basis of their reputation as a professional team and the large database of candidates they work with. I found Brightwater outstanding in terms of both professionalism and quality of service.

It was important to me that they took the time to visit our company and find out about our business and working environment. This, I feel, enabled them to find the best candidates to suit our needs and accountancy requirements.

I have enjoyed a quality working relationship with the relevant consultant and would definitely consider Brightwater a company on which I can rely to provide a first class service.

I was very happy with the service Brightwater and their consultant in the Financial Services Division gave Hannover Re during our search for a new member of our Finance Department. We were both challenged by the role and the requirements placed upon us, but putting those difficulties aside, I enjoyed working with you.

Returning to Ireland after 10 years and ensuring no gap in my career was a difficult task. Prior to my move, I contacted Brightwater  to assist me in a smooth transition. I was impressed by the frequency of communication despite my international location and an 8 hour time difference. Despite the small job market in my chosen field, Brightwater took care to match my skill set with appropriate job descriptions. Due to the diligence of the consultant at Brightwater, a suitable opportunity was identified and communicated to me as soon as it became available. Thanks to their excellent faciliation of the entire interview process I was quickly appointed to my current position.

It was a pleasure to work with Brightwater and I hold  the company in high regard.

My experience with Brightwater in Belfast was unexpectedly pleasant and rewarding. I had the opportunity to deal with the highest quality of professionals in the recruitment industry and was given a superb forum to market myself to potential employers.

The recruitment consultant delivered many opportunities and contributed immensely to my success in finding suitable employment. The service was friendly, approachable, enthusiastic and professional. I would definitely recommend Brightwater to anyone seeking employment or anyone committed to finding the highest calibre of professionals.

During the summer of 2005, PESL needed to make a key appointment to complement the Finance Team. From the outset Brightwater were professional, trustworthy and aligned with my goals as a customer.

On this particular recruitment exercise, I was assisted by a consultant on Brightwater's Industry & Commerce team. Coming from a customer focussed organisation, I am particularly fussy about the level of service I receive from suppliers. My consultant was excellent for a number of reasons;

• Knowledge of the market for finance candidates.
  Tacit understanding of my organisation's culture resulting in a strong shortlist of candidates.
  First class professionalism and ease with which the consultant fit the recruitment process around my timetable.

I am pleased to recommend Brightwater and their Industry & Commerce team as a superlative example of how recruitment should be handled.

Brightwater's ability to manage the candidate search and proposal process is excellent. Communication is timely and concise and they delivered good quality candidates. Our consultant in the Financial Services division took the time to understand our requirements and appreciated that we required the "right person" and not just an employee. I have no hesitation in recommending Brightwater and their services.

I found Brightwater recruitment provided both an efficient and friendly service. Brightwater's consultants listen and take on your individual job requirements and ensure that you are quickly and fully updated on appropriate positions as they become available.

My consultant in Brightwater's Industry & Commerce Division in Dublin provided constant reliable and informed support throughout what is a difficult decision making process.

Sanofi-Aventis have an excellent relationship with Brightwater. In our view, the key to success in recruitment is a close relationship with the client and the recruiter. We regard Brightwater as a Business Partner who works very closely with us and who really understands our needs.

I would like to thank you for the excellent service that you have provided thus far and even the short remarks re: congratulations on the interview, it adds a personal caring touch and strengthens my believe in your capabilities to treat me as ‘part of the family’ and seeks positions for my best welfare. In the event that I will be seeking employment in the future, I would definitely wish for you to represent my interests again.

Just to let you know that I was offered a contract today from Orix which I was delighted to accept. The details will be trashed out in the next few days. Thank you so much for all your help and advice during my job search. Recruitment agents tend to get a bad rep at times but your service was an absolute joy and I really felt looked after whilst pursuing work. If any of my friends are looking for work in the near future I know in which direction I’ll be sending them. Again immeasurable thanks.

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU very much for our meeting yesterday and for your truly fantastic consultation on my career prospects. I will definitely recommend you and Brightwater’s services to all of my colleagues and friends - as the most professional, knowledgeable and “friendly” recruitment consultants, really adhering to your charter and standards.

My experience with Brightwater has always been a positive one. All consultants I have dealt with have been professional, responsive and knowledgeable in their respective specialities, which helps us with the efficiency of the recruitment process! I’m always impressed that they follow up with us once they have placed a candidate to ensure the relationship is working well.

Many thanks for all your help in getting the job. I have been hugely impressed with Brightwater’s service, support and follow up to tests, interviews etc. It certainly made my life easier and I am sure, helped the process to its successful outcome. Times have obviously changed since I was a student looking for factory work - I would happily recommend Brightwater to anyone else looking for a job in engineering.

Just a very quick email to thank you very much for coming out to Leopardstown on a miserable day and giving such a great presentation. The presentation was just what the candidates needed to hear. The feedback was that they gained an invaluable insight into how to have a good working relationship with their chosen recruitment company and know now, how they themselves should behave towards the recruitment company. I just wanted to thank you for a really good afternoon’s work. I look forward to repeating the exercise in the not too distant future.

I can say I am happy working for Western Union and would like to thank you again for everything you have done for me. This is the best opportunity in my professional life and will always tell only the best about yourself. I was even more surprised when I spoke to one of my friends yesterday. About half a year ago he found an IT job he’s really happy with and he said it was found through Brightwater and with your assistance. We both agreed you are really that kind of person that cares.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for all your help throughout the Bulmers process. You have been very helpful and attentive...by far the most professional person I have dealt with in any of the agencies. The fact that you sent additional information to me throughout each step of the process has made you stand out head and shoulders above other agencies. You have returned all my calls promptly and kept me updated at every stage and this has really impressed me.

Our experience with Brighwater was a very positive one. Not having worked with them before we wondered if they would attempt to push candidates on us just because they were available, as other agencies have tried. The reality was refreshingly different. They worked with us to understand our needs and to match the candidate to the role. The candidates also benefited as they were not steered towards a role that might not be right for them.

Further to my recent appointment as FC of Ash Fashion Group. I wanted to bring to your attention the excellent service I received from one of your consultants Sharon Scully in finding this role for me. My appointment to this role took over 13 hrs and 4 interviews to complete and during this process Sharon was key to keeping my updated and focused on each interview and what I needed to do to capture the role. Her professionalism and commitment to following through to the end of the process was the key to its success. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sharon and Brightwater to any of my colleges who are looking for placement or are recruiting themselves and I personally thank her all the efforts.

It has been really great working with you. I really felt like I was getting a personal service and your friendliness never got in the way of your professionalism. I was not only happy with the service you gave us but I also really enjoyed talking with you.

Thanks so much for all your support over the past couple of weeks and I look forward to working with you again in the future. If I get the opportunity, either in this role or with associates, I will be sure to promote you and Brightwater as I found you to be so professional in your approach to me as a candidate that I could certainly rely on any information you would pass as a potential business associate.

Thanks a lot for your time and for your professionalism in dealing with my application and negotiations with Eurizon. I have found you to be very approachable and helpful at every stage of the process. In particular I would like to add that as a foreigner experiencing my first months in Dublin I have especially appreciated your consistent feedback in keeping me informed of every development along the way, something which I can say has not been true of several other recruitment agencies in Dublin.

Thank-you for all your help and assistance in relation to Cofely, was a pleasure dealing with you, you gave/displayed the utmost professionalism at all times and a credit to yourself and Brightwater.

Just a brief e mail regarding my experiences with the named below recruiter in your firm and his performance in assisting me to find a new role. “I have been working with Cathal O Donnell on securing a new position in the construction sector. I have been very impressed with his knowledge and drive in sourcing potential posts and I would be happy to recommend him to any of my colleagues or peers. I’m looking forward to working with Cathal in the future as my recruiter of choice” Cathal has gone out of his way on my behalf to this end and has delivered far above the required standard of professional commitment .

Hi Natacha,

 

 

 

 

 

Just a little note to say thank you for all your hard work with the role.

 

 

I really appreciated your personal, friendly yet professional manner.

 

 

Hopefully I will not need to contact you for your expertise again ;) but I will highly recommend you to anyone I know needing recruitment!

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again

Niamh Adams -candidate

Natacha

Just wanted to say that Brightwater but yourself in particular has always kept me in mind for roles and I really appreciate that. There is a big difference between a professional recruiter and one who is not. Thanks for that.

Dear Mr Bloch,

I recently had the great pleasure of using Brightwater to find a new job. My experience with Brightwater has compelled me to write to you personally to express my sincere thanks for your professional service and, more particularly, the attention and help I received from your consultant Claire McGonigle.

Although it is I who initially responded to an advert and expressed an interest in the job I now have, I have no doubt that Claire's analysis of my skill set and general background and her ability to match my profile to the advertised role played a huge part in my success. Her attention to every detail of the recruitment process was outstanding. She helped me to improve my CV, coached me on interview technique, boosted my confidence every step of the way and gave me valuable information on my new company and feedback at every stage of the process.

Her follow up interest after I started the job also made a deep impression on me because it's one thing to secure a new role, quite another to experience and discover that it is everything you'd hoped it would be. I know that if I should seek to move on in the future, Brightwater will be my first port of call.

I don't know if Claire is exceptional or merely meets a standard expected of all Brightwater consultants. I do know that she was an enormous help to me. One way or another, I commend you for the service your company, and Claire, provided to me.

Thank you

Michael Phillips

In seeking applicants for the position of Financial Accountant, Brightwater was chosen as recruitment consultants on the basis of their reputation as a professional team and having a large database of candidates. They certainly lived up to their reputation in identifying suitable candidates.

In addition to their very professional approach, I was also extremely impressed by their highly personal attitude and keenness to understand and satisfy needs of both client and candidate.

Would I use Brightwater for future recruitment - definitely YES!

I just want to drop you a note to thank you for your support and professionalism during my recent recruitment process. It is the first time that I have found it not to be an arduous task. The calibre of candidate that you sent were far and above any that I have seen in other agencies which is actually quite a relief as I was beginning to wonder where all the good people had gone!!

I am just grateful that you sourced me out and helped me with what was beginning to look like an impossible task. Your honesty and efficiency were very much valued.  It has been a pleasure to work with you and any position that I will be recruiting for in the future will be with your organisation without question.

Thanks also to Aillinn for her impute and thank you both for taking the time out to meet up with me.

 

 

 

Hi David,

I recently engaged with your company in relation to a vacancy you advertised.  It has been many years since I have entered the recruitment process and I have been liaising with a gentleman called Hugh McCarthy from your team. 

 

At every single interaction he has been impressive.  In all my dealings with Hugh, he has consistently gone above & beyond your 'candidate charter'.   He has kept me fully briefed of all developments, openly & honestly discussed concerns, asked questions and pro-actively followed up on matters.     

 

He (and the support people around him) are a credit to your organisation. 

 

I am in the midsts of an interview process at the moment and I think it is important (before I know the outcome) to acknowledge his work.    

 

 

Regards

I'd just like to put in some positive feedback for one of your staff members Claire McGonigle. I've been working with her for a number of weeks around a particular position and I've found her to be extremely helpful and pleasant throughout. I believe in acknowledging good service so I felt it was worth the mention.

We have found that Brightwater have over the last two years helped us to fill key roles in our organisation in a thorough, professional and efficient way. We have 2 excellent employees now carrying out strategic functions in our company and a third only started recently.

We have no hesitation recommending Brightwater to anyone seeking Insurance Professionals. The attention to detail is superb and the consultants gave a unique service and made every effort to understand our role and the best candidate to fill that role.

Just a brief note in relation to the excellent service I received from Brightwater in my recent placement.

I have been placed with UHY O'Connor, Leddy & Holmes by a consultant in the Public Practise Division. I found his manner and professionalism to be exemplary in recent weeks.

It would be easy to be cynical about the candidate charter I was handed when I entered Brightwater but I have to say that the management of my requirements absolutely lived up to it in in every way and exceeded all my expectations. The consultant walked me through my two weeks of interviews, giving excellent background information as required and was constantly in contact and all done in a very efficient manner.

I have experienced other agencies in the past and have to say that Brightwater, thanks to the Consultant, was by far the most professional and efficiant and I wanted to acknowledge it with this mail.

Just a quick note to thank you for all your help with our recent search for a new employee. He appears to have settled in well and appears to "be up for a challenge."

It makes a pleasant change to deal with a professional company who understands the needs of potential employers and can assess and streamline candidates accordingly.

Can you please pass on my thanks to your colleagues in the Cork office who looked after us extremely well when we held our recent interviews.

Once again, many thanks for all your help and I look forward to dealing with you again in the future.

My consultant was a pleasure to deal with. She was friendly and easy to talk to. Seeking a new job is never easy, however my consultant made the process simple and it was extremely quick and effortless.

My consultant had a very strong work, engages well with people and always remains professional. The consultant delivered consistently and was open and honest. These attributes are invaluable.

Once again, thank you very much for all your help to date. Your support has been excellent.

Many thanks for letting me know about both job opportunities. I have found Brightwater to be the best consultancy (with the best manners) in Dublin.

I would like to thank you for your help over the last few months and I must say you have conducted your work in a most professional and friendly manner and I would have no hesitation in recommending Brightwater to anybody in the future.

Brightwater have provided a very good quality and timely recruitment service to us. We are a UK based Company with limited knowledge of the Irish Market. Brightwater have advised on the best routes to candidates and provided us with an excellent short list of candidates that closely matched our requirements.”

Thank you for all your hard work and should circumstances change over the next week I will most definitely get back in touch. It’s been a pleasure - you have been the most pro-active and professional recruitment consultant I have worked with. Again - thank you.

I’ve found Hilary, and Brightwater in general, excellent to work with and have been very happy since they helped place me with Elan. I’m sure they will be in touch in the next few days and you can find out how good they are for yourself.

Cathal is a very personable, competent and detail oriented professional in his field. I witnessed Cathal fully engaged in his profession with a high level of integrity, professionalism, attention to detail and a distinct focus on results. He is acutely fit and qualified to work in the Recruitment Industry. I therefore recommend Cathal for any kind of related employment.

I believe the team leader in Brightwater's Insurance Division would be a key individual in finding the right staff as our needs require. I would certainly recommend them for any future recruitment needs.

My experiences over the past few months with employment agencies have been mixed to say the least. My experiences with Brightwater have been by far the most pleasing. You have been professional, courteous, open and honest and I always felt that you were looking after my best interests in finding me a role that matched both me and the employer. You have always fought my corner and kept me informed, whether there was good, bad or even no news.

You are a credit to Brightwater and also to yourself and I could not recommend you or Brightwater highly enough.

Good communication is a key aspect in any organisation and Brightwater have it in abundance. Regular updates and striving to suit the candidate's needs are just part of the excellent service provided, this is on top of having a top quality employer client base.

Brightwater are ahead of their competitors in many ways and are the recruitment consultants I would recommend if asked. The last thing to say is thanks to my consultant who helped with my job search and to Brightwater themselves.

The Brightwater consultants very quickly evaluated our firm and reached an understanding of our recruitment needs. This has translated into an extremely efficient turnaround time from opening to filling our vacancies over the last number of years.

We were extremely happy with the service Brightwater provided our company. I have dealt with the financial services team on a few occasions and found them to be extremely helpful and professional.

I hope to work with them again in the near future.

Hi Hugh,

Thanks a lot for your time and for your professionalism in dealing with my application and negotiations with Eurizon. I have found you to be very approachable and helpful at every stage of the process.

In particular I would like to add that as a foreigner experiencing my first months in Dublin I have especially appreciated your consistent feedback in keeping me informed of every development along the way, something which I can say has not been true of several other recruitment agencies in Dublin.

 

Many thanks again

Thanks, Joanne. I really do appreciate your help and support in securing the role with Oxigen.

It's an oft repeated cliche, but one in this case that is so so apt - I could not have done it without you !

You were a great motivator. and a source of significant encouragement, even when I nearly collapsed in your office !!
 
Bernard Colgan

I have been working with Cal over the past couple of months in securing a new international role and I have to say that he is one of the best recruitment consultants that I have worked with.

 

In my experience, Cal possesses a rare commodity which is not usually found in the recruitment industry, as he is honest, has integrity and does what he says he'll do when he says he will do it.

 

His friendly and consultative approach to the role makes him a pleasure to deal with, especially during the frustrating period between final interview and receipt of offer. He kept me informed of everything that was going on throughout the recruitment process and his personable approach made me feel like I was his only candidate.

 

 

The only thing that I think that I really need to say is for candidates he is fantastic, and for employers I think that your first port of call should be Cal.

 

 

Thank you Cal for the support and encouragement that you have provided.

Claire was instrumental in connecting me with a company I really wanted to work for, which resulted in a role, as Senior UX Designer, which I'm very happy with.

She very attentive throughout the whole process from the interview stage and right on throughout my first few weeks in the role, making sure it was a suitable role, which it was.

I have once had the opposite experience with a recruiter who dumped me into an unsuitable company and was never to be heard from again, so I can really appreciate the attention Claire puts into the whole process, resulting in a suitable match for both employers and employees.” June 3, 2011

 

From the first telephone call I made to register with Brightwater NI, I have found everyone whom I have spoken to or met, extremely helpful and professional.

I was provided with a service that was second to none. My consultant in the Accountancy Industry division was fantastic. Their regular updates, helpful advice and personal touch was very much appreciated.

I would have no problem recommending Brightwater to anyone. If I am ever in the position to require the services of a recruitment consultancy again, Brightwater NI would be my first choice.

Having been placed by Brightwater, I found the whole experience to be highly professional and productive. From first contact right through to the signing of the contract, I was impressed with the friendly positive attitude and approachability of the Brightwater staff.

I was kept aware of all developments and given all the information on the company, job specifics and personal requirements. I would have no hesitation in recommending the banking team and their colleagues at Brightwater to anyone hoping to get the best from the recruitment process.

Brightwater more than meets my criteria and many of their submitted candidates are invariably shortlisted for a second interview with Leo-Pharma.

"I have found working with Brightwater to be a great experience as they are truly professional, an honest working company and a pleasure to do business with.

Brightwater have made several placements with us in a short space of time. I have been very impressed with the level of service provided by Brightwater and will work with them in the future.

Sarah-Louise,

I would recommend your services to any candidate seeking a new job. I found you to be professional and helped me be fully prepared for my interview. Also, in the days following the interview, you kept be fully up to date with the process.

Kind regards,

Nessa

 

Dear Natacha,

I just wanted to send you an email to say a big thank you for all the help you gave me over the past few months in the whole recruitment process.

Since returning to Ireland I have dealt with a number of recruiters and other agencies and none of them were as efficient or as helpful as you. And I just want to give you my sincerest thanks for this.

So far so good with Barclay's, sorry I missed your call tonight. I'll give you a call during the week to let you know how its going.

Best regards

Chris

 

Dermot is highly professional and I found him to be honest, forthright and highly capable in terms of delivering a wide range of great results for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

My sincere thanks to Brightwater and in particular my consultant in the IT division for their level of aftercare. I very much appreciate the lengths my consultant went to to resolve issues. The level of customer service I have experienced from Brightwater has been excellent and I would highly recommend Brightwater to any of my colleagues who are seeking contract employment.

As a recently qualified ACCA and holder of the ACCA DipIFR, I was at a loss as to where my career should go. With a funds background and a desire to change industry, it seemed all my options pointed to the IFSC.

Having met with my consultant in Brightwater's Financial Services team, I set out my concerns that I wished to gain a broader set of accountancy skills - effectively to make full use of the professional exams I had worked so hard to get.  A number of options were put my way, however it was the position within Royal Bank of Scotland's Group Risk Management that interested me the most.

Communication with my consultant was timely and punctual. All my calls were returned promptly and I was kept up to date with developments on a daily basis. Prior to interview, I met with my consultant, after which I felt confident in my own abilities and was subsequently offered the position of Internal Auditor.

I look forward to developing my career with RBS and would have no hesitation in recommending Brightwater to any recently qualified accountants wanting to get the best from their professional exams.

Louise Fallon,

Thanks so much for all your support over the past couple of weeks and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
If I get the opportunity, either in this role or with associates, I will be sure to promote you and Brightwater as I found you to be so professional in your approach to me as a candidate that I could certainly rely on any information you would pass as a potential business associate.

 

Evelyn

My experience with Brightwater through both you and (earlier) James has been wholy positive.  I am trying to nitpick to find something under the heading "room for improvement" and find I am unable.  That is without taking into account the simple fact that you did get me placed.

You seem to tick all the boxes - getting me interviews for suitable jobs (which isn't easy for someone with my particular skills and experience) with plenty of preparatory advice and feedback.  You have given me accurate impressions of the people who would be interviewing me.  You personally have always seemed interested in my impressions and opinions after the various interviews I have been to.  Even after I was placed you kept checking up to see that I had no problems.   You really did do all you could - I couldn't ask for more.  The rest is up to me! 

I hope this doesn't sound too gushing but it is the simple truth.

Lets put it this way.  If ever I am in the position of having to look for another job I think Mark Morrow at Brightwater will be my first call.

Regards

Stephen Norton

Hi David  

 I recently engaged with your company in relation to a vacancy you advertised.  It has been many years since I have entered the recruitment process and I have been liaising with a gentleman called Hugh McCarthy from your team.

I really appreciate the efforts the team at Brightwater have put into making sure I get a job. My experience with Brightwater has been amazing; right from the reception I got from the lady on the front desk who offered me a cup of tea on that rainy day along with a sheet of paper containing a promise to find me a place to work.

Brightwater has fulfilled every single part of that promise to me, particularly with the frequent calls to reassure me that you are doing your best. Your service has been exceptional, second to none!

"In my opinion, Brightwater "stands out" in terms of professionalism and quality of service. It is important to me that they have taken the time to find out about our business and working environment. This, I feel, enables them to find the best candidates to suit our needs. I enjoy a quality working relationship with the Science & Pharmaceutical team and they have never put forward a candidate who was unsuitable. Brightwater is a company on which I can rely to provide a top rate service."

 "Brightwater provided us with a very professional service and matched potential candidates very closely to the role profile. I was very pleased with the speed with which they found us a very suitable candidate in the highly specialised area of Regulatory Affairs. The chosen candidate is now a valuable member of our team."

“I have been working with Cal over the past couple of months in securing a new international role and I have to say that he is one of the best recruitment consultants that I have worked with.

Hi David,
 
Recently I got a job with Brinks through you guys. I just want to say thank you to you and your team for everything you done to help me. I can safely say out of all the recruitment agencies I've dealt with (which was alot!!) you guys are by for the best.
 
Can I just say a special thanks to Claire McGonigle who I have to say was outstanding in helping me get the position. I felt I could contact her at any stage for help or if I had any queries and she always kept me in the loop and updated to what was going on. So will you please pass on my thanks to her. I have passed her details on to all my friends all ready so I really hope you guys get more business :)
 
Kindest Regards,

Hi Dermott and Emer,

 

 

I would like to thank you for all the hard work and effort that you gave, in successfully getting me a new job. I know it has been a couple of months since I started and it’s been a rollercoaster few months for me but I was determined to make sure I got to thanking you.

 

I would just like to say a huge thank you for all of your professionalism, patience, communication and insights when it came to different interviewers and companies. I was using a couple of other agencies but without doubt the team in Brightwater were head and shoulders above everyone else. I always felt comfortable with the information you gave whether it was positive or negative. And even though I missed out on a couple of jobs that I thought at the time would have been great, I firmly believe that I’m in the right company that suits me and my career goals.

 

 

It is not lightly that I write this email and believe me that I would gladly recommend you on to other potential clients or companies.

Thanks,

Stephen Behan

 

I would like to write and thank you for helping me to obtain my position as Information Officer with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

 

 

This is the type of role I've been trying to find for a very long time and I know that it was your help that made all the difference.

Your professionalism and courtesy were above anything I have experienced before from an agency and I have taken the liberty of recommending you to several colleagues.

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards and thanks,

 

 

 

 

 

Lorraine Curran.

 

 

 

 

Hi Emma,

 

 

 

My apologies for the tardiness of this email.

 

 

 

I just wanted to thank yourself and Natacha for the assignment at Information Mosaic.

 

 

 

Your assistance with my job search and speedy placement as a temp was much appreciated and a vital step for me in settling down in Dublin.

 

 

 

I would be happy to recommend your recruitment services and would not hesitate again in contacting you to assist with any future job search.

 

 

 

Thank-you again!

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

 

 

Tammy Davidson

Hi Ladies,

 

What a wonderful Monday it’s been, and the rest of the week looks even better. It’s been a busy day and I’m loving it.

 

 

Back in the workplace one is consumed by endeavours, planning, forecasting,  prioritising,  delegating,  confronting,  networking, all work related stuff. It’s great to be back in work and due in no small part to the time and effort put in by you Caroline and Natacha. Your mentoring, advice, and interview preparation and feedback was excellent.Your understanding of your clients requirements and matching those to potential interviewees was spot on. To achieve first and second place in two separate applications is testament to your strategies and abilities, coupled with your pleasant and professional demeanour puts you in a different league. It was a pleasure working with you as you are both excellent Ambassadors for your company.

 

 

Yours sincerely with kindest regards.

 

 

 

Dermot.

 

Caroline is one of the most professional recruiters that I have come across either as a candidate or as a client. Because of her own engineering background, Caroline has an excellent knowledge and understanding of the exact requirements of technical industry roles and responsibilities, outside of the typically sparse ones contained in a job specification.

 

She listens and considers carefully in conversation and is capable of making intuitive leaps regarding possible avenues to chase. In other words, she understands and promotes transferrable skill-sets which alone would make her stand out in her industry.

 

 

She is effortlessly engaging, enthusiastic and no detail seems to escape her. She keeps her commitments regarding actions and timelines and communicates updates regularly. A true recruitment industry star and I could not recommend her services highly enough.

Through-out the past few years I have either been looking in earnest or casually looking for a role. I therefore, have had contact with a number of different recruitment agencies either through application for a particular role or registering with company. In many, if not most cases, once initial role or interview was completed the recruiter was never to be heard from again.

 

In some cases I have gone for interview (travelling a distance in some instances) but never receiving feedback even when sought. Thankfully this is not the case with Brightwater and in particular Caroline and Shaun.

 

These two individuals put a smile on my face even when they are telling me that I didn't get a role or that I wasn't suited. They have a manner that is professional yet friendly and "guide" me to deliver a better Curriculum Vita that is suited to the role I am applying for. There are so many recruiters who could learn from these individuals and understand the whole picture and not JUST play the numbers game. A credit to the company and the industry as a whole and will work with them when recruiting for sure.

 

Hello everyone,

 

 

I just wanted to introduce Mared Roberts and Caroline O’Reilly from our Recruiting agency Brightwater.

 

 

I know that some of you have met each other, and some have not. When you successfully nail contract 2,3,etc in the UK, you will need more staffing in Dublin and Brightwater is really well placed to help you with this! I have no doubt that you will find their services to be excellent.

 

 

Take care, I wish you all well.

Brightwater has provided a first-rate and highly efficient service to Meridian VAT Processing International over the last three years.  The have provided Data Entry/Administration staff for various temporary assignments, which can require up to thirty staff at any given time.

 

The service from Brightwater has always been extremely positive, prompt and professional. Emma Anglim (Assistant Manager) has a thorough understanding of the calibre of person required for a variety of roles that we have required in the recent past.  Emma has consistently provided a quick and efficient service to Meridian and will make a point of understanding our requirement, allowing our needs to be fulfilled very efficiently.

 

Brightwater have consistently enabled us to fulfill our recruitment requirements, which could not have been achieved without their help.  I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and Meridian will certainly continue to avail of their services in the future.

Further to my recent appointment as FC of Ash Fashion Group.

 

I wanted to bring to your attention the excellent service I received from one of your consultants Sharon Scully in finding this role for me.

 

My appointment to this role took over 13 hours and 4 interviews to complete and during this process Sharon was key to keeping my updated and focused on each interview and what I needed to do to capture the role.

She persisted with chasing the client down for me even when the client was not communicating with either of us and I thought the role had gone elsewhere.   

 

Her professionalism and commitment to following through to the end of the process was the key to its success.

 

I would have no hesitation in recommending Sharon and Brightwater to any of my colleges who are looking for placement or are recruiting themselves and I personally thank her all the efforts

 

 

Yours sincerely

Kevin Kenny

Eileen was instrumental in helping me to secure a new position with a UK Pharmaceutical company during the month of December 2011. Eileen's phone is always on and her feedback and assistance was invaluable to me throughout the interview process. I found her to be most diligent and helpful with any queries I had, I feel Eileen is a serious asset to your organisation. I will be recommending Eileen to colleagues in the industry, and I look forward to working with her in the future.

I have been registered with Brightwater recruitment agency for nearly two years. In those two years I have found them very professional and friendly to deal with. The interview prep they offered was invaluable. Most recently I dealt with Stephen Heather who has placed me in a permanent position. He could not have been more helpful with regards to the interview prep he offered and he also passed on his mobile number if I had any queries outside of working hours. He kept me updated throughout the Christmas period in relation to my current position. I would highly recommend Brightwater recruitment agency.

Cathal is a very personable, competent and detail oriented professional in his field. I witnessed Cathal fully engaged in his profession with a high level of integrity, professionalism, attention to detail and a distinct focus on results. He is acutely fit and qualified to work in the Recruitment Industry. I therefore recommend Cathal for any kind of related employment

I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work closely with Cathal O'Donnell as my advocate during a personal high level job search. Cal's heightened ability to communicate efficiently and effectively with both me and my new employer made a high-quality international management position a reality for me. Cathal's planning and time management skills allowed us to achieve in a number of days what would otherwise have required weeks. I strongly recommend Cal as both a highly ethical and very productive professional recruitment manager.

Natacha

Just a word of thanks for all your help with the recruitment of the Program Manager for WIP. I had to rush away on Friday to catch the 4.50pm train as "senior management"  at home had arranged a social engagement, so I was unable to express these thanks in person.

Although you may have found Breidge and I to be sticklers for process, such attention to detail early on can prevent later litigation which, in this jurisdiction, is particularly prevalent, I am sorry to say, in the not-for -profit sector.

Your professional advice and, equally importantly, approach to the task and to all applicants, was much appreciated and made the work of the selection panel a pleasure.

Please convey my thanks also to Barbara whose contribution mirrored yours.

With best wishes for the future,

Denis

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for all your hard work over the last months trying to find me a position, I really do appreciate this.  You are both excellent recruiters and I shall recommend you to anyone I know who are job hunting.

Kind regards,

 

Damien

 

 

 

Alan,

Many thanks for your assistance in my application for the position with the Irish News.

Due to my late application I particularly appreciated your assistance and discreet attention.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of you and Brightwater Support'

Thomas Mackin

Just a quick note to thank you for all your help with our recent search for a new employee.

It makes a pleasant change to deal with a professional company who understands the needs of potential employers and can assess and streamline candidates accordingly.

 

 

Can you please pass on my thanks to your colleagues in Cork who looked after us extremely well when we held our recent interviews.

 

 

Once again many thanks for all your help and I look forward to dealing with you again in the future

 

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Stephen

Thank-you for all your help and assistance in relation to Cofely, was a pleasure dealing with you, you gave/displayed the utmost professionalism at all times and a credit to yourself and Brightwater.

 

 

Shaun,

 

Thanks so much for your work the last two days in resolving this. I know that I have put you under quite a bit of pressure to understand the complexity of what we were grappling with, but your help was much appreciated.

Anthony Ball

I would like to thank Lynda Barnes at Brightwater for all the help and the excellent service provided.

 

 

She was approachable and genuinely seem to have her candidates best interests at heart. She was available to answer any questions I had, and provided excellent pre interview coaching which was extremely helpful.

 

 

Most communication was by phone, which I personally found much better and lead to better and clearer communication that the contact by email other agencies seem to use.

 

 

I would recommend Brightwater to any graduates like myself trying to enter the current employment market.

 

My experience of Brightwater Support and in particular Louis Coyne has been one of extreme professionalism and courtesy. Louis has given me all the help required in order to fulfill the company's mission statement and I am very satisfied that I was the primary focus for him and not the prospective employer that I was put forward to interview for.

 

I would have no hesitation in recommending Brightwater Support to any of my friends or colleagues.

 

Thank you for fulfilling your promise to me.

 

 

 

Best regards,

Christophe von Raesfeldt

I would like to thank you for your help over the last few months and I must say you have conducted your work in a most professional and friendly manner and I would have no hesitation in recommending Brightwater to anybody in the future. Take care.

My experience with Brightwater has always been a positive one. All consultants I have dealt with have been professional, responsive and knowledgeable in their respective specialties, which help us with the efficiency of the recruitment process! I'm always impressed that they follow up with us once they have place a candidate to ensure the relationship is working well.

Allison Gannon

Hi Natacha,

Im really appreciate that you still in contact with me. I have to admit that I didnt meet such a good and effective agency in Ireland so far.

Who ever is asking me for a good agency you are the first Im going to recomend! And of course whenever Im searching for job again I will come back to you as well.

Once again thank you very much!

Thanks for your call yesterday afternoon and for sending on this mail.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say Thank you for all your help throughout the recruitment process. You have been very helpful and attentive...by far the most professional person I have dealt with in any of the agencies. The fact that you sent additional information to me throughout each step of the process has made you stand out head and shoulders above other agencies. You have returned all my calls promptly and kept me updated at every stage and this has really impressed me.

Keep up the good work! I wish you all the best for the future.

Maeve.

Just wanted to say I had a first meeting with one of your consultants yesterday.  Natacha Pomorski. I found her to be professional, freindly and very supportive. She is obviously a great asset to your outfit, and I just wanted to pass on my compliments. I was treated like a real person, rather than just a number like with so many recruitment agencies. I was also highly impressed by the candidate charter and in light of my meeting, believe it was not just a marketing gimmick but the reality of how Brightwater feel and do business. Thank you and congratulations!

I was contacted by Shaun Du Preez from Brightwater recruitment Dublin regarding a position that had become available and was of interest to me.  From the first point of contact with Shaun he was very professional and his knowledge of the role and the business were excellent.

 

Not only did Shaun secure me a first round interview very quickly but his interview preparation, his attention to detail and his knowledge of the role and the business the role was in was exceptional.  After I was given a second and final round interview Shaun again was able to offer incredible guidance and knowledge of the type of questions I would be asked at this interview.

 

Apart from the preparation and guidance I received from Shaun at every stage of the process I received constant calls and updates from Shaun. I strongly believe that without the preparation work and overall support Shaun provided I would not have been successful and would not have secured my ideal role.

 

 

 

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Brightwater recruitment and for me it was testament to your company that you have people of such professionalism and enthusiasm.

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Philip Garry

 

Our experience with Brighwater was a very positive one.

Not having worked with them before we wondered if they would attempt to push candidates on us just because they were available, as other agencies have tried. The reality was refreshingly different. They worked with us to understand our needs and to match the candidate to the role.

The candidates also benefited as they were not steered towards a role that might not be right for them.

I have found working with Brightwater to be a great experience as they are truly professional and an honest working company and a pleasure to do business with.  Once I spoke with the professional Brightwater team, they arranged a visit to meet with me the next day and had already carried out the search for the ideal type of candidates that would suit the role and also importantly fit well within our company. Their service and professional levels are the best I have ever met and I believe their employees are also true professionals and they provided me with the best suitable candidate. I will definitely use them again.

I would like to thank you for the excellent service that you have provided thus far and even the short remarks re: congratulations on the interview, it adds a personal caring touch and strengthens my believe in your capabilities to treat me as ‘part of the family’ and seeks positions for my best welfare. In the event that I will be seeking employment in the future, I would definitely wish for you to represent my interests again.
