Candidate Testimonials
'Applying and interviewing for a job is daunting at the best of times. When that role is at the Chief Executive level expectations of boards, stakeholders and the community are set very high. As a product of the recruitment process through staff at HorizonOne, I can say that their style is one that assures success. Employer and applicant alike are perfectly matched and the process is on that focuses on the full exploration of a skills base and skills need rather than a laborious question and answer scenario we are so often stuck with. As a CEO I always say to potential applicants, an interview is a conversation. HorizonOne are best placed to help with that conversation.'
I found HorizonOne Recruitment to be the stand out employment agency in a city that has a multitude to choose from. The service provided by my account manager David Harrington was always timely, prompt, efficient and always kept me up to date throughout all facets of looking for work within the HR field. They were always polite, honest and encouraging. Working in the HR field and having experience in both sides of utilising employment agencies, seeking employees and more recently seeking employment for myself, I would highly recommend HorizonOne as the Recruitment agency of choice.
Hi Simon - I'd wanted to put something into writing to say thank you for all your help with my job search over the past few months. I've had extensive experience with recruitment consultants in previous roles and while most recruiters are hard-working and pro-active when you're paying a large fee, very few show the same commitment when you're a candidate looking for work. I can honestly say you've been one of the few consultants I've met during my job search who I'd happily recommend. You've been extremely professional during the last few months, selling my skills into the market and providing honest advice about job opportunities - rare qualities that are sure to see you achieve great success in your career.
Thanks Patrik, I look forward to it -- by the way, I very much enjoyed your interview yesterday. I felt you truly explored who I have been, who I am, and who I desire to be. Too many recruiters seem to look for quick fixes and convenient pigeonholes.
Dear Callum -Thank you very much for taking the time to see me today. I came away feeling like a big weight had been lifted and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not a train! A very different approach to some other agencies, which, unfortunately make you feel like a number and not a person.
Rebecka - I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help, you really were the only one who I thought genuinely cared and went out of your way. I will definitely be recommending you to any one of my friends and family who look for employment in the future, or even when I finally move on from my current role. Thanks again, you did a great job and you make a great consultant.

I can only pass on the highest praise to yourself, and more particularly HorizonOne Recruitment and Patrik Nilsson, for the manner in which the process has been conducted. Patrik was able to communicate extremely well the scope and expectations of the role, as well as giving a detailed brief as to the organisation itself and where it is placed in terms of its story. I described my experience to Patrik the other day as being like 'docking smoothly at the space station - perfect fit'. This demonstrates to me how well Patrik was briefed by yourself, and also his skills at matching candidates to roles and organisations.
