I was contacted my Ryan Doyle from Deverellsmith whilst I was job hunting. Ryan provided me with amazing service which has gained me the ideal job. Very effective in how he worked with me, helped giving me advice for the interview and went the extra length to ensure I got the job. Would highly recommend
Isabella who is new to the industry but is really focused on getting the best out of people. She knows how to find you a position, that is ideal for you. She is strictly positive with a vibrant aura and will never let an opprtunity pass you by, even if you have reservations about a position. What she said to me was "Just go anyway and see if you like it". Trust me she is super lovely and super informative and always keeps you in the loop regarding development and getting the best out of everyone she puts forward.
It such a delight dealing with the firm. Especially Shaun who looks after me. He s very professional, kind and very respectful. I will highly recommend the company.
I would like to use this opportunity to say a massive than you to Hannah for her help. You have displayed professionalism throughout, I would have no problem recommending you and your organisation to a friend.
Ive had the best experience with Deverell Smith. Katie is by far the best consultant I ve ever came into contact with, I felt very comfortable leaving everything in her hands. She listened and delivered.She showed genuine concern, extremely caring & most importantly did everything possible to find me not only the best suitable role but with a great company. What truly stood out to me was her follow up, she continued to check up on me regularly to find out how everything was with my new role, I m truly grateful. THANK YOU!!!again for your amazing work
I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU for Alasdair and Grace. I m pleased with your help! You guys are incredible! Thanks for new opportunity in such a short period of time. Always reliable, helpful and supportive. I can't be much grateful and happier that our ways has crossed. Migle
We have hired several times through Deverell Smith and each time it has been really straight forward and easy. I found Grace in particular really personable, helpful and always more than happy to help.
Having being approached on LinkedIn by Emily Fox regarding an opportunity in Manchester, I now find myself working for a company I enjoy with a clear progression path, I am now finally working to my full potential which had been previously overlooked.
The entire process was easy with Emily keeping me updated throughout from interview to my first week, I would highly recommend Devrill Smith to anyone looking for that next stage in their career.
My review is in relation to Deverell Smith residential development recruiter. Frankly my experience of working in Luxury Residential Developments through this company can only be described as Excellent. The quality of their service and their professionalism in every aspect of their business was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking for a new interesting role and they only represent the very best I must say. I would like to make particular mention of Shaun S. in his consultant / front of house position, he was always prompt in dealing with any enquires and requests whether by phone or email with his excellent friendly approach, delivered in a prompt efficient manner. Highly recommended.
I have been working with Deverell smith since 2017, and it s always been a great experience. In particular, working with Georgia Littlejohn has been a highlight, as she has always been supportive and professional. I have recommended a number of people to deverell Smith, and will continue to do so.
Alasdair Paterson has been a great help in finding a new job. He is responsive and always kept me updated throughout the process; regularly advising and generally being very quick with moving things along. He is a fantastic recruitment agent!
Deverell Smith is the best recruitment and property specialist company I have ever dealt with. They always keep you posted, reply politely to your emails and always ready to talk to you when you call and have questions. They helped me secure the most amazing job ever! Thank you!
Special thank you to Katie Line, the most professional and friendly recruiter ever. She is extremely good at her job, she cares about people and their situation and always tries to help and accommodate you. She is amazing!
I have dealt with Tess Amigoni and Roberta Blackford. Whilst they did not find me a new position , i have to leave a review for them because they were highly proffessional and really friendly. I have to say the best recruiters I have dealt with by far. My search is over so all i can do to thank them for their help is give them a well deserved 5 stars they are both brilliant at what they do. Thank you Tess & Roberta
Deverell Smith are always my first port of call when the time comes to change jobs, Joseph Morris is always very professional and goes out of his way to help. Thanks to him I was placed in my current position within a week, which way exceeded my expectations, especially considering this was during Covid! My company also use Deverell Smith for our recruitment needs and I am looking forward to working with them from an employer's perspective very soon. Keep up the good work guys!
I was contacted by Deverell Smith directly after they found my CV. Was very fortunate to have Freddie find me my perfect, I do not start till Monday and I am super excited; I ve had Freddie call to check in and share this exictment with and I truly appreciate all the work he has put in and thank you for guiding me right through it all! I also had Ana call and congratulate me and kept me informed when Freddie was out of the office.
Deverell Smith customer service is the best I ve seen. If you need a job and need someone to understand and probably guide you to a role you will love and enjoy, Give Deverell Smith a call!
I would like to say a huge thank you to HANNAH SEARLE at Deverell Smith. I am very happy with the service I have received from Hannah. She is very professional . She will keep in touch with you to ensure you are happy with your choice. I would highly recommend Hannah for her professional, caring and efficient service.
If you are ever considering a role within residential field then this is the right place for you.Very professional and efficient company.Had the pleasure to have one interview and got a great job offer the very next couple of weeks.
Alasdair Patterson is a star! He has been very friendly and approachable throughout the whole process. I am very satisfied with the new role and would recommend him to anyone interested in the sector!
BEWARE ... ABSOLUTE ROGUES ... Immoral, unethical,unprincipled, unscrupulous, unprofessional ... a motley band of money grabbing liars ... AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Deverell Smith is a very Professional yet Caring yet Friendly team of wise negotiators. I have been placed on various contracts during the years and they just go the extra mile at being Awesome. Kudos to Chris Long, Joseph Morris and Subbia Polo who is super super nice! :)
Deverell Smith found me my perfect job. I wanted to find the right role and was prepared to wait for that to come along. They listened to my wish list and they put me forward for a role which ticked all the boxes. I was successful in my interview and started at the beginning of May. The role has really lived up to my expectations. Thank you.
I signed up to a lot of agencies when I decided to change my job after being in the same role for 11 years. I got the usual 1 liner phone calls from them all saying they have my details if any thing comes up we will let you know. With Deverell Smith this was completely different. Alasdair is an absolute diamond. He called me regularly and gave me fantastic advice. He was always on the ball and helped me in making one of the biggest decisions in my life. I was so scared but he was always there on the phone or email and made this so easy for me. He instantly put me at ease. Alasdair is an amazing person to get along with and I could not recommend him enough!
Anna McGeorge has been an incredible source of support this year. She was such a pleasure to work with and was able to find me the perfect fit in an extremely challenging market. Thank you!!
After 2 weeks and 4 interviews I was offered a position through Deverell Smith. The weekend before I started my new employment I obtained a terrible head injury leaving me with permanent lack of sensation to my head, a fractured skull, hematomas and concussion that is expected to last several weeks. The concussion caused me to be ill, irritable and dizzy. I informed Ryan and Tommy that I had had a severe head injury and they updated my new employer that Sunday as I was yet to be handed their contact information. The week started off well but on Wednesday evening I had to attend hospital for the second time as my headache had become Unbearable. I left the a and e department at approximately 5am on Thursday morning. I had sent 4 emails to my employers pa in the mean time keeping them updated. I ask to take the day off as sick and the pa s response was that it was fine and to retrieve the doctors discharge notices as soon as possible. Immediately after I had spoken with Ryan I made my way to the first hospital I attended. I was about to make my way to the second hospital when my new director called to fire me. He said that I didn t fit his idea of the company values and told tommy that he had a bad feeling about me from the start from when I asked if my petrol allowance could be looked at. This man offered me the lowest amount within the bracket he was advertising. Ryan and Tommy made it seem that it was extremely unlikely I would be considered if I wasn t to move to the area and so I did. The pressure was also from the interviews. I spoke with Tommy and Ryan on the Monday after which was 4 weeks ago. Despite them telling me to not apply for any other positions or contact any other recruiters they have not been in touch since. In this time my apartment was vandalised and all my belongings where broken. Thousands of pounds worth of damaged. I was looking into my options moving forward with the company who so unfairly dismissed me but it looks as though all I can do is to write to them. Which I will be doing on their canvassing letter they sent through my door so unkindly (they are a lettings agent and asked whether or not I wished to rent my property with them). I m asking that you take an interest in your customers and not just your clients paying the fees. Also Ryan and Tommy said on the phone that Monday that I was lucky to get that job and insinuated I wasn t ever good enough, flattering!
I have been very impressed with Tess at Deverell Smith. She is incredibly professional but at the same time very friendly. I have been working in a temporary capacity and she has placed me at some great developments that have worked very well for me. I would definitely recommend Deverell Smith.
Such great service and professionalism. Hugh and Tom came to table prepared and focused with realistic goals that they could assist me in achieving in my search for my next role. Throughout the process they kept great communication, they listened and were thorough with their work and organisation. I felt well looked after and at a time where stress and uncertainty was looming, that extra mile they took really went a long way. Thank you guys!
I must say being in the Sales Industry and Customers Services is very Important and how important Google Reviews are. Joe Elise and Megan really did impress me. Between the 3 of them they constantly kept me updated with new roles pending and arranging interviews for me. Joe and Elise arranged a positive interview with a Company that I had ties with and from there worked their magic as well as kept in the loop once again. I have already recommend friends to use them as I was very impressed. I'm my Industry you would never get 3 Negs working so hard on one client one 1 property! Lol! Hahah so the team work ethic at Deverell Smith must be very good and fun.
I have been working for Deverell Smith for a while and must say they are professional, efficient and great company to be with. Specially the people who also work here make a big difference. So far a special thank you for Shaun who is friendly and shows true care about his job and the people too.
Both Nick Hammond & Emma Timothy have been fantastic in helping me in my search for a new role.
I have used Deverell Smith for the last 12 years, they have placed me in 3 roles and I always value the fact they are honest, realistic and genuinely only want to place candidates in roles that are a good fit for both them and the company that they will work for.
They will always reliably contact you if they have an appropriate role, support you fully through the interview process and follow up with helpful feedback post interview. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for support in finding their next step.
Having dealt with Joseph, both when looking for a new position for myself, and hiring new staff, I have found him to be most helpful and efficient. He has always been quick to reply and provide any information required. He is still my go to contact when looking for staff.
I had the opportunity to work with Deverell Smith especially with Shaun Stephen to whom I am sending many thanks and still keep it touch for recommendations! Great Recruitment Company!!! Great Team to work with!!! 5 Star Service !
I applied for a position through this employment agency. I can't say that my experience with this agency has been a positive one. When I arrived for my appointment with Lucas I was then kept waiting for 10 minutes in a glass cubicle, and then the consultant went through my CV in great detail with a fine tooth comb. I was then informed that their client already had their quota of candidates for the position and were no longer interviewing. Why one wonders was the position still open? First impressions normally count and having dealt with this agency I would not recommend them. I would not waste my time again. If a candidate makes the effort to arrive for an appointment on time, having traveled some distance, then the consultant should ensure that they do not keep the candidate waiting as it doesn't look very professional. Having lived in both the United States and Spain and had very positive experiences with employment agencies who really make the effort to help candidates secure employment, it does not really give me much of a positive experience with employment agencies in the UK particularly in London.
I have really enjoyed my time working with Deverellsmith They are very good at updating you on any role that might be suitable ,and when you are placed they still touch base with you to check all is well , they really are the best recruitment agency I have worked for. Really impressed Miranda
Tess has been working to place me in a full time New Homes role, she has kept me updated at all times, is professional & easy to speak to. Would highly recommend Deverell Smith!
Tom Lambourne at Deverell Smith was exceptional in finding me the right role. He took time to understand exactly what I was looking to achieve and then put a plan in place. He was extremely pro-active in his approach, whilst keeping me fully informed throughout the process. I would highly recommend Deverell Smith and in particular Tom.
If anyone is looking for a position I can't recommend Gemma Walsh enough... Not only did she find me my perfect position but the professionalism she has is second to none! I have dealt with a few recruiters in the past who will just send you on any interview to try and give you a job they want you to have, not what you want. Gemma listens to what you want and is there for you every step of the way! My initial meeting with Deverell Smith was with Gemma and Alex who both made me feel at ease and rest assured they will do their upmost for me. (And they certainly did!) I was then introduced to Cesna who knew about the perfect position for me. When Gemma and Cesna put their heads together and got me in to see the company I couldn't wait! I have now started in my new position and without sounding cheesy I have also found a friend. I would 1,000,000% only use Deverell smith in the future (hopefully I won't need to) and would recommend them to anyone!!! Good luck to everyone and all the best!
Grace has been amazing. She always kept me up to date, responded to emails/calls promptly. She helped me secure a great role and continued to check up on me regularly to find out how everything was with my new role.
Deverell Smith are the best recruitment agency I have used. They are proactive and keep in touch constantly. I deal mainly with John Duhig who, if out of the office or on the phone, when I call always rings back. He keeps me informed of positions he feels are suitable and is always happy to talk through them. I never feel rushed and always feel I have John's complete attention. Anyone wishing to develop in the property world really need to contact Deverell Smith they will work with you. Thank you for all your help John.
Really listen to the needs of the client and put forward candidates accordingly. My experience is limited to Tess and Ellie for the most part, but if that's an idea of the company as a whole, then they're doing something right!
I dealt with Joseph Morris and Hannah Searle at Deverell Smith both were professional and knowledgeable. They were unable to find me a placement but kept in touch regularly unlike other recruiters and both go above and beyond in trying to fit you into the right office where you be happy. I would recommend Deverell Smith to anyone looking for work in property.
Olivia Bambi is an amazing consultant! She helped me secure a great job by really taking the time to listen to me at our first meeting. I would highly recommend her.
I only have POSITIVE words for Deverell Smith. They dont waste your time by putting you forward for jobs that are not meeting our needs. They are honest and very supportive. Finding a job is stressful as it is, especially if you are not happy in your current role. They dont ignore your emails or calls. If Im ever looking for my next role, these specialists are on my speed dial.
I signed up with 8 recruitment agencies in total and honestly Deverell Smith was the only agency that helped and supported me throughout my job search.
Isabella was very friendly, professional and genuinely wanted to help me find a job. I was very particular with my requirements yet Isabella couldn't have been more understanding and supportive, she communicated with me at all times even when there was no jobs in the current market that met my criteria.
Isabella referred me to her colleague Chelsey who was dealing with a role which was PERFECT for me, they both supported me throughout the interview process and made sure I was happy and comfortable. As a result I got the job of my dreams and I can't thank their service enough, Would highly recommend!!
Thank you Sadie for being part of Deverell! I have been guided through every job that has landed my way and have never felt as if i am asking too much or left in doubt. Sadie is so easy to talk too, funny, professionally and charismatic. The team are very personable and can honestly rate them as one of my top agencies. I appreciate the time you spend even in this difficult time to securing a placements for me..... I highly recommend this agency... Thank you all!
A recruitment company for humans, not just numbers.
Had only excellent experience dealing with them for both temp and perm jobs.
The Consultants listen, take care to find matching jobs and manage expectations well. Excellent industry knowledge too.
Once placed they provide superb after-care and go out of their way to make sure the placement is successful.
Both the company and their consultants really seem to care about their work and focus on quality long term. Rare!
Also, it has been one of the few agencies that are modern nough to have an open mind about the industry and avoid placing candidates based on stereotypes. Respect!
I have used DS for over 8 years now, both for my own roles and when hiring and have always had faultless service from Nick and Shaun. Brilliant industry knowledge, friendly and professional team who are always on the ball. I have rarely ever needed to use another recruiter.
From day one the Deverell Smith staff were amazing. Gary Conlon was extremely supportive, understood my aim, my experience/skills and potential, and was able to highlight this to his clients. He also prioritised customer service, making sure to keep me updated and following up after my interviews even out of hours.
They have exceptional knowledge of the market and their clients needs which allowed Gary to help me secure a role in Facilities Management.
I can't recommend Deverell Smith highly enough if you are looking for a job.
Great service, excellent customer service and efficiency, even during difficult times. I received prompt and frequent updates. I have also has successful results thanks to Anna at Deverell Smith!
I worked with Alasdair and he was extremely helpful, funny and professional! He's been an absolute pleasure to work with. He made a daunting job search easier and offered a lot of support throughout my search. I highly recommend Deverell Smith and Alasdair! :)
A very good agency, with a lot of jobs to offer. The consultant I worked with(Shaun), was vey friendly and listened to exactly what I needed. I didn't work with him for too long but he found me the perfect job and I am very grateful.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Alasdair Paterson for helping me in my job search. I registered with his agency, and on my first phone call with Alasdair, I was very confident that he d be able to help me. And then, throughout my job search with him, I was surprised at the level of attention and communication he gave, I wasn t expecting that and was very pleased. I m in a really great new role now and enjoying my new job! I see a long future for me in my new company and don t think I ll be leaving for a long time, but if I do decide to change jobs in the future, I ll be coming back to Alasdair.
Anna was a dream to work with. She was extremely responsive and discreet, exactly what you need from a recruiter. Couldn t have had a better experience!
I highly recommend Deverell Smith to anyone who is looking for a role in property, and in particular, Isabella Laws.
She has always been professional, friendly and helpful, and has only offered me roles that were relevant, according to what we have discussed, and very quickly has found me the permanent role i was looking for. Thank you Isabella, you are the best recruitment consultant i have dealt with!
I have lost count of the amount of recruitment agencies that I have signed up with to help me find my first job/foot in the door. ALL of them at some point (including Quest Professional which has a very large upfront fee) have ghosted and failed me. Deverell Smith's Isabella Law was so different. She kept booking me interview after interview until I Was finally hired!! Before that there was a point when I was slightly discouraged but she called me and said all the right things to boost my confidence. Shortly after, I landed a 3 month temp job. She is absoloutely lovely and superb at her job. I would give her more stars if I could. Thank you!!!
I was unhappy in the role and company I was working for and decided to post my CV on line again. Within a week Deverell Smith agency had invited me in for an interview. I met up with Hannah, who took on board what I was wanting from my next role and type of company I wanted to work for.
From the beginning, I found Hannah very pleasant, polite and communicative. She made me feel at ease. I was put forward for two interviews within no time of enrolling with Deverell Smith. I was invited back for a second interview with one company, and attended another interview with another.
Over one year later, and I am still happily employed with the second company my CV was put forward to.
I have no intention of leaving this company, but if I was to find myself in a situation where I had to search for another job, I would, without any hesitation get in touch with Hannah at Deverell Smith. She has been so supportive from the beginning to this day, unlike most other agencies.
Unprofessional and disrespectful. You apply for positions they advertise, you even call to get feedback on your application and they do not come back to you. When I spelled my name I heard a change in the voice tone of the lady who was on the phone. I believe that they are only looking for a certain type of candidates. What a shameful company !
Deverell Smith are an outstanding example of well run and organised business; We use Deverell Smith for New homes roles and temporary placements and have found the service to be both thoroughly professional and reliable. We have been particularly impressed by Liam Read and Tess Amigoni, who's friendly manner combined with a professional approach have in no-doubt been the deciding factor in us securing the right roles. We would show no hesitation in recommending Deverell Smith to anyone seeking a part time or permanent role within the property sector.
Will Kirby has been prompt, knowledgeable, caring and professional throughout my search. By far one of the best recruiters I have come across. Keep up the good work.
I have had a dual experience with DSR - as an employer recruiting temporary staff and as a property accounting professional seeking a career change. Both recruitment experiences were second to none. DSR definitely know their market and they will not rest until they find you the right fit. Even after the placement they will keep in touch with you to ensure you are happy with your choice.
I ve had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan and I must say I m very impressed with the professionalism from Jordan . He s been great service and always looking out for my best interests .
A very professional and responsive organisation. Jordan has been extremely helpful and in contact to keep me updated on latest jobs. He takes time out to understand you and what you are looking for in a role. I would highly recommend Deverell Smith.
Lucas Grant, and Tess Amigoni of Deverell Smith have given me 5 star service and got me work in the uk, they provided me with 3 jobs in short period of time and in comparison to other agents, whom did not get me anything. So I thank Deverill Smith for the experience of working with them . 1st class, very appreciative of all they have done. Highly recommended.
I just found a position through DeverellSmith. Joe O'Brien was brilliant and the whole process from start to finish went very smoothly. I would definitely recommend Joe and the company for anyone looking to work in property.
Lovely service and people. Really, really helpful. Managed to get a dream job in the real estate investment industry and I am so happy that Deverell Smith reached out to me with the offer in the first place. It turned out 10x times better than what I imagined, got a chance to work in the companies HQ office in London. Would definitely recommend Deverell Smith to my family and friends and anyone that I know. Cannot thank them enough for all of their help and support throughout the whole application process. Great team, great atmosphere. Met my recruitment consultants in person and they we're very friendly and very helpful. Would reach out to them again in the future if I decided to change anything, however, I'm very happy with what I got right now! A big, big thank you!
Great experience so far! My main contact is Tess Amigoni - she is very professional, courteous & sincere as is all her colleagues past & present (Lucas Grant, Shaun Stephen, Harri Goode + Georgia Littlejohn). Still on their temp books so hopefully a permanent role will be presenting itself soon! Would highly recommend company!
I would like to express my experience with Deverell smith to highlight the professionalism and genuinely their approach to job seekers, specially under the uncertainties some of us are experiencing. From the moment they reach out to you, their efforts to help you and assist you in your job search is something you don't see that often from recruitment agencies. And I would like to personally thank Sadie Orwell for reflecting all this attributes I've just described. I was lucky enough to land a role and all thanks to Sadie and Deverell Smith.
It s not always easy to find a recruiter you can trust but Katie is different, she is very friendly, approachable, helpful and understanding and she never let me down. She is the best recruiter I ve ever known and she demonstrates professionalism and passion in her work. I had such a positive experience throughout the process, she made me feel like an individual rather than just another number looking for a job. A HUGE THANK YOU
Grace has been very supportive and has always made an effort to find me a suitable role. She is always in contact with me and updating me with any new roles I may be interested in. I cannot thank her enough for her great service.
I wish to report an excellent experience with Will Kirby in finding me a new role. He was very good at matching the needs of both his client and candidate and was very responsive and professional throughout.
Amazing team and the best recruitment that I have ever been introduced to. Professional and on point. There is a young lady by the name Grace Dowd, she makes the whole process of finding a job that much easier. She is very thorough and always does her research on every company she puts you forward to. I would recommend them to anyone I know looking for work.
Hate been lied to and false promises. Adam the consultant doesn't even have the decency to return calls. Left loads of messages only to be avoided. I too cannot understand the good reviews. I blame the consultant more than I blame the company. Thanks Adam for being so useless!
We have used Deverell Smith on 3 or 4 occasions over the past 5 years. The quality of their candidates is always excellent and we have been happy to rely on them as the single agency for our needs.
I've dealt with Ellie King on two occasions now. She's always been brilliant and informative, keeps you up to date and stays in touch. She would be my first point of call if I wanted to secure a new role, the other ladies I have spoken to have been great as well. Highly recommend!
Really pleased with the service, Grace really helped me out, really friendly and won't give up till I have a confirmed interview (even 2 in one day). She is an absolute GEM! Thank you so much!
I couldn t speak highly enough of Will Kirby at Deverell Smith. Will has placed me twice over my ten year career and on both occasions he was professional, attentive and I really felt he had my best interests at heart during both moves. I have dealt with numerous recruitment agencies over the years and if you are looking for an honest and professional service from a firm that really cares about your personal development look no further than Deverell Smith and Will Kirby. Thanks for all your help Will.
5 starts for Hannah Searle ! She knows how to deal with the clients and how to be the best on the market ! She helped me twice, and I am super happy with my job ! I highly recommend Hannah's service ! ! !
I experienced an excellent customer service by Shaun Stephen at Deverell Smith. He is highly professional, sympathetic, helpful and conscientious. It was a great experience working with him.
Deverell Smith is the best reqruitment agency by far. Almost 10 years ago I have had great high-end placements organised for me by Carly Wardley which eventualy resulted in an exiting career, working on some of the most well known, high-end property projects in London. When I decided to somewhat scale back but still keep my toes in the water, Tess Amigoni has been wonderful. She understood exactly what I was looking for and found a great little part-time placement just 15 min drive from home.
