What Our Clients Say

At Allena Clarke Appointments, we're proud of the level of service we provide to our clients. Here's what some of them have to say:

"From a client point of view, historically, I have not been a fan of Recruitment companies, finding the experience not very specific to your requirement, with previous agencies just sending us irrelevant CV's with a 'throw mud at the wall approach'. However, dealing with Allena changed my thoughts, so much so that when we had a post internally we recruited her! She listens and understands exactly what we want, only providing me shortlisted fully prepped candidates relevant to our businesses. I can highly recommend Allena and should I need to use a Recruitment business in the future, Allena would be my first call."

"Starting right from the initial call, and even through a pandemic, I could tell that my experience with Allena would be different to what I had experienced previously from other recruitment agencies. Allena took the time to get to know me as an individual first, asking what motivated me and where I wanted my career path to take me. She was adamant that finding the right job is predicated on finding what motivates and drives a person. It was this level of care and attention to detail that made me feel valued, recognised and optimistic. I was sure she would find me a place that was the right fit and that's exactly what she did. Anybody can find somebody a job. Finding the right job for the right person is the challenge. It is a challenge that Allena rises to gladly. I simply cannot recommend her enough"

"I've had the pleasure of working with Allena for many years now, both at my former employer where she became our preferred supplier due to exceeding expectations on numerous placements, from Subsea Engineers through to Finance Directors. She is unlike any other Recruitment company as her priority is finding the right match for your business rather than securing a placement. She genuinely cares and listens to your requirements and works tirelessly to get you the right candidate. I have no doubt she works as tirelessly to get the candidates into the right company, they always sing her praises during the selection and on-boarding stage. She genuinely delivers and is an absolute pleasure to work with".
