Client Testimonials

SOS have helped us for a number of years with both our permanent and temporary requirements. They have provided us with an excellent professional service, whilst being friendly and helpful. They have visited our offices to understand our recruitment needs and I would recommend their services with no hesitation.




I wanted to just take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on all of our vacancies over the last few months. Your approach to the business has been a huge help to me, and very successful in recruiting the right people for the business. So many agencies bombard me, and the recruiting managers with CV's, and it is clear that there has been little or no matching process at all. I am pleased to say that all the candidates that you have sent over for every vacancy have been superbly matched, and your communication regarding every stage of the recruitment process, prompt and professional. I really hope that we get the opportunity to work together again in the future. HR Manager

We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with SOS Recruitment. The SOS Team offer us a professional service with friendly, helpful and honest staff. We are pleased to say that SOS have consistently provided us with an excellent selection of candidates with the right skills and experience. This has helped the placement of good quality staff who have stayed with us and have indeed been promoted within the Company.



"We experience great success working in partnership with SOS, they have given us a professional recruitment and consultancy service for our Contact Centre. They carry out our first stage interview process on all candidates and have proved to be an extremely professional and honest agency. We enjoy good working relationships with the team at SOS Recruitment, their understanding of our business and their valuable service makes SOS a successful part of our recruitment process." HR Adviser



Having dealt with many recruitment agencies on numerous occasions, I have found that it is an arduous task - not unlike walking through glue! and it can often feel as if the employer is there for the benefit of the agency, not the other way around. This has definitely not been the case with yourselves. Not only was considerable effort put into establishing the requirements, but also the level of follow up service was of the highest standard. SOS Workforce will certainly be our first and wherever possible only choice in the future, and I have no problem whatsoever in recommending your services to other organisations. Project Manager



"We have been working continually with SOS recruitment for over 3 years. In all that time we have had a very polite and courteous service from all the team and have excellent working relationships with all the Consultants. What makes SOS stand out from the 'crowd' of agencies is their professionalism and honesty. We always use a very direct approach and, due to expansion, always require large numbers of candidates. In response to this, SOS strives to deliver a match to our particular needs by listening to our requirements and responding with the minimum of fuss whilst matching accurately and promptly. SOS recruitment are always able to plan ahead for our vacancies and will use unique methods of applicant attraction - that makes them different from other high street agencies." Senior Recruitment Co-ordinator



We decided we needed to employ an extra 10 telesales staff & contacted a couple of agencies in Bournemouth one of which was SOS recruitment. I was very impressed with the speed that SOS reacted and later that afternoon I received a number of CV`S from prospective candidates. The service offered by SOS was excellent, they seemed to understand our needs completely & had a number of very suitable candidates that showed the enthusiasm & ability that we were looking for. I was also interested to hear the comments of the candidates who also had nothing but praise for SOS.We are a rapidly growing company & next time we are in the market for additional staff I will certainly look no further than SOS who are a company that I would recommend to anyone. Thank you again for all your help in helping us find the staff to drive our business forward. Sales Manager

I would like to take the opportunity to give you and the SOS team some feedback. We have worked together for several years now and I have been particularly impressed with your ability to grow but still keep the quality of service. A high percentage of the candidates that you have brought have made it to the core team. I think its a testament to the quality you have provided. Despite moving more people perm than ever before you have managed to get the number of temps back up to 10+ quickly by finding the right people at the right time. So.. thank you for the hard work this year. I'm sure we are not always the easiest client to work with but I thought you would like to know that you are one of the top suppliers that we have worked with in 2005. Thanks again. Operations Manager



"SOS recruitment have provided us with an impeccable and successful recruitment service, resulting in the employment of reliable and professional candidates. The SOS service is second to none, with friendly and efficient members of staff always on hand to assist. We would highly recommend SOS recruitment and chose to use them whenever possible." Customer Services Manager



We have worked with SOS recruitment over our last two recruitment drives. Our requirements were different on each occasion and spanned both temporary and permanent positions. SOS dealt with our recruitment as only they know how, they spent time understanding our business and the results were outstanding - the calibre of the candidates is always extremely high, and the service from start to finish, impeccable. There is no question that they will be our first port of call in the future, and are highly recommended. Sales Trainer



Thank you for your help today, I must say the service that you deliver is always exceptional. The launch of the new product went really well and that is because of the quality of the candidates that you placed, they were reliable and, more importantly, matched to the role they were undertaking. You have become a main provider and that has happened through your delivery of service, and attention to detail, also making my life hassle free!! Many thanks for all your support. HR Officier

Dear Sir I would like to take this opportunity to thank your agency and especially Kate Hardiman for placing me in a job within 2 days from arriving in Bournemouth from South Africa. While in South Africa I contacted SOS for a job and Kate immediately made arrangements for interviews. I am really overwhelmed by the speed and efficiency she did it. She is extremely professional and without her tips and friendly advice I wouldn't have made it. Her confidence in me really inspired me and contributed to me having such a good interview. Just to let you know wherever I go I will definitely recommend SOS as the best agency to find you a job quickly. Thank you once again. Susan

To Paul and Everyone at SOS This is just a quick card to say: Since first joining SOS as I was looking for work, I didn't have much idea of how or what to go for, I just knew I wanted full time work. Thanks to the complete professionalism of all the whole staff specifically Paul Barter, I was only ever greeted by complete friendly faces. I was never left in the dark, I was always given help and advice whenever I needed it. I was always treated with respect and honesty, never patronised. I seriously couldn't have asked for more! I sincerely wish every success for the future and to grow from strength to strength. SOS will definitely be a top recruitment agency for years to come. Thank you for your support! James



Sian, In regards to you helping myself find work, you are by far THE most helpful and persistant in a good way. I only registered back with yourself a few days ago and already you have found me 2 interviews. I really appreciate your help. Another thing that makes you stand out from the rest is that you treat me like I’m the only person your dealing with as you remember nearly everything and feel like a good friend. Cheers Again. Sophie



Dear Maxine, I felt that I should immediately write to thank you sincereley for the incredible amount of hard work you have put into your job searches on my behalf. The amount of information you have gathered plus the quick follow up with all my "other questions" has been fantastic. I have, and will continue, to recommend you and SOS as the best agency for friends to use if they require a recruitment agency. The service has been quite exceptional and having dealt with many other agencies I have a good few comparisons! With sincere thanks for your personal attention to detail. Very best wishes for the future. Sue

Dear Paul I thank you for your assistance with my new employment search and for helping me secure my new appointment, I sincerely hope that I will have no further need for you in the near future but I will of course keep your details close at hand, just in case and more importantly I will be confidently recommending you to friends who may need your services.

Thank you once again. Kind regards Zoe



Just a quick line to say, thank you so much for all your help and support over the last few months. I know my requirements were quite specific, but you were the only agency I registered with that kept in constant contact and put me forward for matching positions on a regular basis. Your encouraging words and heartfelt support meant a lot to me during my difficult job search and career change and for that I am very grateful. Congrats too for handling the negotiation of my package so well too! You have a great team there at Poole and my thanks go to them also. I will definitely recommend SOS to anyone who is in the marketplace for a new career. SOS is definitely a different kind of agency altogether. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Kind regards Kerry



I have had the pleasure in dealing with SOS Recruitment over the past two weeks in my search for a new job. In that time they have been able to place me into a position which suited all my requirements. They have been both professional and efficient in their dealings and overall are an extremely friendly team who have made getting a new job an absolute pleasure. I was kept up to date on all information regarding the progress of my application at every stage. I would recommend SOS Recruitment as the first point of contact for anyone requiring new employment and in need of a professional recruitment agency.



Dear Leanne Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work in getting me the job. I think I’m going to be very happy there. You’ve got me the perfect job. Thank you again Jo



Thank you for your email of this afternoon. I am sure that the move will be a good one. Whilst writing can I just say "Thank You" for the excellent service that I have received during my association with you. You have kept me up to date since April when I first registered and have been extremely professional but very friendly. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to any of my friends looking for a career change. Once again thank you for all your assistance. Regards Glenys



Hi That's excellent news about my start date, there are no problems at all, I understand they will be sending the offer letter and contract directly to me? I'm very excited about starting there, thank you for all your hard work. I did register with some other agencies apart from SOS after losing my job at but I can honestly say that none of them were as efficient as you. Hopefully speak to you soon, Lucy



Dear Chris I just want to let you know that it has been a pleasure dealing with yourself and all the members of SOS that have helped me attain my new role. I have been treated by all the staff involved with a great deal of professionalism and helpfulmess for the moment I walked in from the street until getting my position. They have helped me get my new job without any hassle or fuss an in a very short period of time. I don’t think there could have been any way in which SOS could have been more helpful. I hope not to have to use a recruitment agency for a while but if I do, I will be calling you and your team first – I will of course inform friends of your company if they are looking for work. Chris, I would very much appreciate it if you passed my thanks on to your team. Sincerely Steve

Leanne Thank you very much for all your help with finding me a job. I feel that I am really going to enjoy it at The Portman. Thanks again Sam



Hi there Bex, I just wanted to send a quick email to extend my thanks to you and the whole SOS temp team for finding me employment for the summer at BakBone in Poole. As a student I have always found it very difficult to find summer employment in this area and have generally been greeted by other agencies with indifference. By comparison the enthusiasm and helpfulness of your staff has been excellent. Furthermore the placement at BakBone has been really good – a nice working environment with welcoming colleagues and reasonably stimulating work (when previous summers have been spent lifting bags of flower and packing bath salts into boxes, I cannot tell you how much this is appreciated). Also a big thank you to you Rebecca, for working so hard to get my late time sheet in this Monday. Many thanks again and take care. Andrew



Hi Maxine, it's Sarah, Just thought i'd let you know that my interview went really well and i was really impressed with their working environment, if i am offered the job i think i'll take it, thank you so much for you help, and for listening to my problem !! I really do appreciate all your have done and are doing for me. Sarah



Hi Paul, Thanks for all your help, I am very pleased with how things have worked out, and would certainly recommend SOS recruitment,& you and your office. Thanks again Sharon
