Having experienced for the first time the trial and error version of selecting a good recruitment agency, I have been lucky to become acquainted with the team at Icon.
What makes Icon stand out is the genuine approach to their work and careful selection of potential roles to fit your interests and needs.

Whilst we have some direct applicants Icon has access to our roles and given us an outstanding service. Icon formed an immediate interested in dealing with us and there his service had been professional and relevant to our needs. As a growing business we have had the need to recruit for a number of reasons and expansion has been a key motivator for the business.
Icon has recruited an IT Field Service Engineer, two Sales Executive. Developer, our Sales Director and a Divisional Director for our business giving us the cutting edge and the manpower we need to over achieve targets. I am pleased to say all these staff are still with us and performing well some having been with us for a number of years now.

Damian - Account Director (Candidate)
Without a doubt, Icon is the best recruiter I have ever worked with. They are efficient, follow up when they say they will and stay in constant contact keeping you abreast of what is going on.
If they don't know the answer to something, they endeavours to find out and get back to you right away, they doesn't just make it up and tell you they think you want to hear like the bigger outfits tend to do. They care for their candidates and work out the best outcome for you whilst doing the right thing by the employer. I have no hesitation in recommending them to candidates and employers alike. |

Kate - Senior Conference Producer, (Candidate)
I was new to Icon but found them friendly, helpful and exceptionally professional. They identified and understood exactly what I was looking for and matched it perfectly with advertised positions.
Always available despite the out-of-office hours involved in an international recruitment process. Excellent service, job-matching and advice. I would definitely use them again and recommend them. |

Their knowledge of the events market and the industry connections are excellent - you can stay assured that you will receive a first-hand information on the trends, salaries and a level of demand for your particular role.

Sarah - HR Business Partner (Candidate)
My dealings with ICON were refreshingly different from other
recruitment agencies I have worked with. I had honest feedback, was chased up quickly and effectively for information, and given the opportunity to decide for myself whether I was a good fit for the role with no "hard sell".
When I had some concerns about a fabulous offer and my work/life balance, Icon were instrumental in dealing with the client and helping us communicate to iron out any
last minute concerns I had.
I will definitely turn to ICON in the future to help me recruit. |

Patricia - Editor (Candidate)
Of the various head hunters I have had dealings with of late, Icon stands out as the one most determined to find the right job for me.
They took the time and made the effort to ensure that all parties are comfortable with the fit of a CV and personality for the role and team.
I am now busy tying up loose ends in readiness for my new position.
Very many thanks for all your efforts on my behalf

I am now in a new an exciting new role which I would not have found without the help of Icon who took a friendly yet professional approach from the initial contact right through to a follow up email when I began my new role. I would be happy to recommend Icon to both candidates and clients. |

Frances - Senior Consultant for global B2B Financial Media company (Client)
I have worked with Icon on a number of recruitment projects.
They are particularly skilled in getting the ideal balance between sending enough candidates regularly to provide a broad selection but not overwhelming the client. They also respond very quickly when necessary but does not fall into the trap of chasing progress so much as to be annoying.
They are certainly deserving of recognition for there work. |

Simon - Managing Director (Client)
We can honestly say that without ICON we wouldn’t have the staff we have found today. ICON is efficient and definitely has the ability to find the exact candidates that we require for the posts advertised.
We are a leading developer of network security, content security and messaging software, to find the correct people for the job is essential, however, ICON manage to pull this off every time. We will continue to use ICON in the future since we are a fast growing company and constantly looking out for potential candidates, I have trust that ICON will provide.

Andrew - Senior Business Development Manager (Candidate now Client)
I found that Icon were pro-active and was inclined to listen to my criteria rather than just coerce me into interviews like many other recruitment agencies do. Their consultants were polite through and most importantly they kept me informed through the whole process. I have no hesitation in passing a recommendation and would happily use Icon again for either myself or when I am next recruiting. |

Chris - MCSE Systems Engineer (Candidate)
"I was very impressed by the friendly professional manner of Icon Consultants Ltd. They looked after me well as a candidate and made sure the jobs that I was applying for would suit me. They kept me updated daily with my progress for the job I was applying for and thanks to them I have now gained new employment".

Douglas – IT Director (Client)
We approached Icon Consultants to work on a Systems Engineer vacancy which needed to be filled urgently. They responded very efficiently by sending a small number of good quality CV's. Following interviews we selected a candidate who met our needs perfectly. From first receiving the job spec through to offer stage and start date, Icon Consultants demonstrated a very professional and efficient service as well as a good understanding of our needs. We have also not felt hassled by them or received unsolicited calls at any stage.

Mark – IT Sales Executive (Candidate)
I had been looking for a new career for a around a month when I contacted Icon Consultants. I had registered with a number of other agencies but it was Icon Consultants who understood me and my sales experience.
I found your service excellent and am now in my second month with my new employer. I understand you have placed other people with this client and the position was as you explained it, this company is really going places and I am sure they will be back to you when next looking to recruit.
