Testimonials

Bluetree Recruits are fantastic recruiters!

Claire Newman at Bluetree Recruits really listens to the candidate, finding out what they’re looking for and matches them to the role, sending job descriptions that are a good fit for experience, skills and requirements.

She guides her candidates through the recruitment processes, offering advice along the way and I have confidence in knowing that she will position me in the best light.  She builds up a good rapport with candidates and recruiters alike.

I have personally had multiple successes in securing new roles through her and have recommended her to old and new colleagues.  She is definitely my first go to for recruitment both if I’m looking for a new role, or looking to hire someone.  I would recommend anytime.

Claire at Bluetree helped me when I was freelancing to work in some fantastic agencies and in-house teams. Claire is probably one of the very few recruiters that genuinely want to get you work, I always loved hearing from her. I contact Claire now if I need freelancers and I always recommend Claire to any designers that need a great recruiter.

After one face to face meeting, Claire 100% understood the type of job role I was looking for and actively tried to find a company that would be a good match.

Christine Jones
Associate Director, RLH

Bluetree Recruits were extremely quick to get started, we had candidates in front of us within days. They managed our favourites professionally and dealt with and feedback we wanted to give to people we had seen.

Ultimately they placed our new Head of Operations who was completely different to what we thought we wanted, but was exactly what we needed. – That in its self was testament to Blue Tree’s experience and understanding of Yomp as a business.

Richard Woods

From start to finish, a personal, efficient and exceptional level of professionalism and service.

The level of communication was fantastic, process fast-moving and I felt completely informed and empowered throughout my search. Wonderful.

Great personable service, they don’t make you feel like you’re just another candidate they are adding to their books, to never hear from again.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Bluetree, they are truly in a league of their own initially with Claire taking the time to understand my requirements and find out what interests and drives me for a career.

Asif Jaferali
Digital Experiential Project Manager

The Bluetree team sent through a great selection of relevant candidates who all had the necessary skills for the role we wanted to fill. I was very happy with the service and communication, and extremely pleased with our new team member.

Bridget Ramsey
Head of Graphics, Vivid

We have been working with Bluetree for several years now and have always found them to be the most knowledgeable local recruiter for creative, marketing and digital.

They go the extra mile too, and unlike some recruiters they add real value to the process – I always feel like the people I interview have been well vetted and almost all the time fit our brief.

I have recommended Bluetree to my customers, I don’t think you can get a better recommendation of how highly I rate them than that.

Dean Corney
Director, The Pull Agency

Claire is a great professional, very good in helping topclick source the right candidates for our roles. In July 16 alone we have secured 2 great new members to our SEO and PPC teams. Thank you, we value Bluetree's help and on-going support.

Miles Cottrell
MD, topclick

Couldn't have asked for better help, from constant one on one phone calls regarding interview prep and techniques to follow up after the interview to see how everything went with a continuous update on the employer status.

Absolutely amazing and if ever I was to look for a new job this would be the first company I'd go to.

Jamie Gibbins

Claire has always been thoroughly helpful and professional whether I needed advice, support or guidance.

Bluetree have been accommodating to my needs and we have built a strong working relationship throughout the many years I have known them.

Claire is an exceptionally attentive, interested and understanding recruiter.  Any question I ever had, Claire was available to talk. She never ducked a phone call, and always kept me up to speed on development in a long-ish recruitment process.

She is open, honest and easily the most helpful recruiter I've come across. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I found no surprises, an informal interview (as discussed), and a great career coach behind me while I met with my potential employer.

I accepted the position and am much happier than in my last role.

We've been really impressed with the quality of candidates and thoughtful, professional service from Bluetree.

We're highly selective in our recruitment and Bluetree 'gets' us and what we need. Nice people to deal with - I can recommend them without hesitation.

Quite possibly the best recruitment experience I have had! Claire and the team are responsive, do what they say they are going to do and follow up every tiny detail.

I have used Bluetree based in Guildford, Surrey to help me employ my digital team, I have to say the candidates they put forward have been fantastic and a real asset to my business.

If you are recruiting for Digital/Marketing/PR people get in touch with them, I deal with Claire.

Brian Woodcock
Managing Director

I can’t stress enough how great Bluetree Recruits is. My job search with them was not only quick, but it was seamless, friendly and completely on my terms.

Claire really understood where I was and where I wanted to go – and the whole experience of dealing with Bluetree was second to none. I have spoken to so many recruitment agencies, but Bluetree is miles ahead of the rest.

A big differentiator is that you can tell Bluetree really do thoroughly consider your experience and the potential roles, so they will only put forward the roles that are best suited to you – and there is none of that time wasting that so many other recruiters could be accused of. Bluetree Recruits really do know what they are doing, and they do it very very well! Thank you, Claire 🙂

Rebecca Miles
PR Account Executive

I’ve been at in my new role for three months now! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support, guidance and encouragement you gave me when I was looking for a new role. You stand miles apart from any other recruitment agency I’ve ever worked with – professionally and personally. You were literally the only recruiters I spoke to who understood my request for part time hours, working locally and finding the right role to suit my skills and ambitions.

I am so grateful that you thought to put us together. It’s been the best start for me – like minded people, lots of scope for progression, really interesting client work and perfect work-life balance mix. Really feel like I’ve landed the perfect role here.

Catherine McElkerney
Account Director

The team at Bluetree were really a dream when it came to finding the perfect new role for me. I felt so supported from that initial phone call through to signing my new contract.

They were so helpful and always ensured I was in the loop. I really appreciated how attentive the whole Bluetree team was during the entire process and couldn’t recommend their services enough!

Shannon Douglas
Marketing Coordinator

You’re a great team, keep helping people like me to make our next career moves, you truly work as a team and it’s refreshing to see you have our best interests really looked after.

Mita Morris
Marketing Manager

I've known Claire and the team at Bluetree for about 8 years. I will always be grateful to them for securing me my last 2 perm roles (great roles!). They’ve also sourced me freelance work in between.  From a candidate point of view, working with Claire is bliss - she actually talks to you, she does her best for you, she’s honest with you, she actually tells you who the company is, she will always keep you updated and get back to you on the result, whatever it may be. I know that she does this for every candidate - truly rare these days. She also is happy to listen and provide advice - she’s done this for me on many occasions!

I would recommend companies use her to attract talent and candidates to use her for a unique job-searching experience. Many of my colleagues are connected with Claire. For creative and marketing recruitment in Surrey, Bluetree is not to be left off the list!
