| A truly professional service! I had the greatest experience with QCS in terms of application to a job, preparation for an interview, providing constant feedback afterward, informing me about the next steps and just casually checking-in to see how I am. I would truly recommend QCS to anyone who wants professionalism with quick and constant feedback. A great experience, thank you Janis! |
| Ben was my point of contact person in QCS for approximately 12 months and throughout that period we had frequent interactions both in relation to my own assignment as well as various resource needs I had on the project I was leading for a big pharmaceutical company. Ben often checked in with me to make sure everything was fine, and to hear if I had any resource needs he could help with. He always did that in a very professional and non-pushy way with a good sense of both the clients situation as well as mine, and any special circumstances at that given point in time. Ben clearly takes pride in his job and I enjoyed our collaboration very much. |
Charlotte provided excellent support when we were looking for bi-lingual Construction Managers for a project in Germany. She identified and connected us with two qualified and capable individuals with both international and local experience.
It has been a pleasure working with Charlotte. From initial engagement through to on-boarding she kept me informed throughout. Following commencement of my assignment she has always shown a keen interest to ensure I'd settled in ok. Her communication has been impeccable and knowledgeable, and along with a personable nature she is a valuable asset to any organisation.
| I just wanted to share a quick note to let you know how excellent Nathan has been in support me in helping to find, select, and recruit quality people for our business. I have been dealing with recruitment agent for many years and I have first‐hand experience of a wide range of standards. However, now after working with Nathan, he is the only agent I will ever use. Nathan is the only agent I answer my phone for! Nathan is proactive, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. Moreover, he has taken time to fully understand our needs and so can filter prospective candidates leaving me with a selection or suitable and targeted people. I cannot thank Nathan enough for all his help over the past seven years, his services come highly recommended. |
Hugo is the best recruiter I know. He's friendly, trustworthy and dedicated to his work. He has a gift for understanding people, their ambitions and fears related to changing jobs. I met him during the recruitment process for an international company dealing with data centre projects.
I had an excellent experience working with Jigna and QCS Staffing in my job search process. From the beginning, Jigna clearly understood my career goals and skills, matching me with opportunities that aligned with my academic background in Genetics & Cell Biology/Molecular Medicine and work history in biopharmaceuticals. QCS staffing's tailored approach ensured I found the right opportunity in a role that is both challenging and fulfilling.
Throughout the process, Jigna provided amazing support, from preparing me for interviews to guiding me through the onboarding process. I felt equipped and confident at every stage, thanks to her detailed advice and regular check-ins. This level of personal attention set QCS apart from other staffing companies I have worked with, where the experience felt less personal and more transactional.
I had the pleasure of working with Bobby in QCS to help find a new role to further my career. Bobby was very professional and genuinely invested in helping me find the right opportunity. He was very transparent throughout the whole process with regular phones calls to keep me informed at every stage of the process and offered valuable interview tips.
Bobby took the time to understand my career goals, skills and experience to align with a new job opportunity. He was available at anytime for questions and always made sure I understood the process.
Bobby went above and beyond to secure the right opportunity which aligns with my long term goals. He took the stress out of finding a new role for me and I am grateful for his support and guidance throughout. I would highly recommend Bobby to anyone looking for a new role with a dedicated and supportive recruiter!
| I have always received a highly professional & personable service from Caroline and the team at QCS. They listen carefully to the specific requirements of available roles and work tirelessly to supply a pool of potential candidates and make the hiring and contract renewal process an easy activity to manage |
| We have been working for a long time with QCS and Denis. I started to work with him in August 2021. I have to say it’s always a pleasure to work with Denis. He is always on top of things, and always pro-active. In our business, finding people is quite hard, but Denis always has a solution. Words can’t express how magnificent it is to work with him, and I would go so far and say he is not just a supplier for us, but he is also a friend. |
| I have worked with Ben on a number of Pharma Project requirements. Ben has been very helpful and focused on providing the best candidate for my needs. I highly recommend Ben for his professionalism and fluent communication. I hope to work with you again |
Not very many agencies engage in conversation outside the domain of job hunting. I see on LinkedIn all the time about people complaining about the way agencies behave and some agencies actually line you up for the totally wrong job. It seems that some agencies lose the connection with the clients and dish out job offers that are irrelevant to the client’s needs, I think that's clearly where QCS Staffing differ.
Since starting in my new project role, I’ve found QCS to be consistently supportive and responsive. Any queries I’ve raised have been addressed promptly, which has helped me settle into the role more smoothly.
I’d like to specifically acknowledge Bobby Andrews for his reliable and timely assistance. His support has been appreciated and has made a positive difference in my early experience with the project.
| Over the past 12 months, we have worked with Kathryn on a range of PV roles and she has never failed to provide a professional service. Kathryn always gives the roles prompt attention and keeps us informed throughout the candidate finding process. Kathryn is knowledgeable of our Company and ensures the candidates are suitable and fully informed about the role. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kathryn to any Company looking to recruit PV professionals! |
