What our clients say

Recruitment in our Manchester office is a challenge! There are lots of great companies here, and we're all looking for the best people to help drive us forward. So that makes finding the right people, and getting them in, a real challenge. That's where Circle comes in.

With so many years of experience working in the market, Scott has seen companies come and go, and the industry as a whole thrive. With this experience comes an eye for the right people, at the right time.

This is what Scott will bring to your organisation, more than just a recruitment consultant, but someone who understands the people we are looking for, and takes the time to understand us as an organisation and our culture, to make sure he connects us with only the best candidates that will share our values and help us grow.

Mike H Head of Agile Delivery, Leading British Car Manufacturer

Working with Circle on a recent vacancy was a delight, they understood what we were looking for, and only provided CV’s and candidates that matched my expectations.

Competing against two other agencies Circle successfully provided the right candidate to fill the position.

Stuart Head of Information Technology, Top 50 Law Firm

Breath of Fresh Air!

I worked with Circle on several roles including some very technical security vacancies.  They were able to provide great candidates, and a solid service, and Tariq was one of the best performing recruiters providing me with confidence.

In some cases, (especially around security) Tariq was the only agent that was able to provide suitable candidates, and the managers in those areas were very positive about his contribution. I’d liked to have continued working with him, but organisation and job changes have made that difficult. I’d recommend his work to any client in need of a good quality, mature approach, who may have tired of the aggressive nature of some agencies.

Stacy S Internal Recruiter, Global Software Provider

I have worked with Circle since 2015 and they are extremely helpful, honest and professional and are always on hand to help with our needs.

Circle Recruitment has been on our PSL for quite some time now due to the excellent service they provide and always willing to go the extra mile to help and are always available to assist us with our needs.

Circle has placed a number of great candidates with us and we are looking forward to continuing to work with them in future.

Indi HR Advisor, Software Company

Circle has played a pivotal part in the growth of the company, identifying key candidates to fill a range of positions across the team, from consultants through to Sales, IT and Development roles.

Circle's knowledge of the security industry adds real value in the recruitment process, both in identifying potential talent and taking them through to on-boarding.

Performance is consistently to a high standard and adds real value to the recruitment process, a statement that cannot be made about all recruiters in this industry.  Tariq is hardworking, transparent and effective.

Ian S Group CEO, Multinational Security Consultancy

I’ve worked with Circle for around 11/12 years now, and during that time they have been the first agency I call, for anything related to IT or IT security.

They have displayed good ethics, and honesty, and been very easy to work with. Tariq has brought us some very high calibre security people (especially pen-testers, and security consultants / engineers), as well as great general IT people.

I have in the past recommended Circle to other companies who have tired of the very aggressive nature and games of some recruiters. I’ll keep working with them as long as I’m able!

Paul C VP of Global Security

The team at Circle and in particular Scott have been pivotal in growing our digital team.  For a number of years they have consistently delivered into our group in Manchester for digital skills.

Constantly professional and a group that truly care about the candidates and your success as a business.

Timothy S Head of Software Development, Leading British Car Manufacturer

I can’t praise Matthew enough – he is absolutely fab and a credit to Circle!

Hannah C HR and Engagement Advisor, Financial Services Organisation

Circle pulled off a masterstroke in finding a software developer to help with our current recruitment drive.  

To put it into perspective, we have interviewed 91 candidates in total from other agencies.
