Could not recommend Gibson Hollyhomes enough! Jenny is great, friendly and really supportive through out the whole recruitment process. She is always on hand to offer pre-interview advice/ tips and will match you to a role she knows you will do well in.
Highly recommended.
In early December 2019 I joined Gibson Hollyhomes (Manchester). On Thursday 9th Jan I was offered and accepted a new job, only a month after joining!
Jenny Vickerstaff was my recruitment consultant. She extremely kind, and was so helpful in helping me find somewhere that best suited me. As soon as I walked into their office I was immediately made to feel welcome and Jenny made me feel stress free which made the process even easier. Working alongside Jenny has been amazing and I would strongly recommend this agency!

During my experience with the recruitment agency. I received a high level of support from my recruitment agent. They we're with me from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. They found me a job very quickly and provided a friendly personal service. Definitely recommend them to anyone!
I was contacted by Jack Doodson whilst searching for job opportunities.
He was extremely helpful and quick to line up interviews, keeping in touch throughout the whole process. Highly recommended as a agency.
Can not fault the service I have received over the last week from the agency and in particular Bryony. She has been relentless in assisting me with finding work, always approachable and very helpful! Thank you!!
I was approached by Jack Doodson about a few roles he believed would be of interest to me. He took the time to really listen what i was looking for as my next step and carefully tailored the choices to ensure i was attending interviews that matched perfectly. I only took one interview prior to the one he set up, as the interview I went to on the back of Jack's recommendation was perfect for me and I got the job!! Thank you for all your help, I'm very happy and settled in my new role and have expressed my satisfaction with the company also for future recruiting purposes.
Waste of time!!! I applied for a customer account manager position which was advertised on a external job site, but hadn't heard anything so i decide to follow up my application. I contacted the agency several times, left messages and emailed the consultant who was managing the role but I am still waiting to hear from the agency. I went on the agencies website and the jobs not listen on there current vacancies. I can only assume the post didn't exist and possibly just a way to meet targets after all consultants work on commission.
Gibson Holly Homes are a fantastic recruitment agency. Fiona (who manages the temp jobs) was absolutely brilliant and found me a role in no time at all for a well established and interesting employer. They also do permanent role too, I can't recommend strongly enough to submit your CV to these or take a look on their website to see what the have available. Thanks GHH
Amazing business! Found me the job I wanted straight away and prepared for it really well. Met up with me before my interview explaining what to expect with loads of tips. I dealt mainly with Jenny (in the Manchester branch) who is so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend using Gibson and Hollyhomes and thanks so much to Jenny!!!
Find me a recruitment agency that can set you up with a great job within 24 hours... Currently working a finance admin job found by Gibson Hollyhomes where I got paired up with jobs that perfectly matched what I was going for. Really friendly staff and they know what they're talking about. Couldn't recommend more
In November 2019 I joined Gibson Hollyhomes (Manchester). Today I have accepted a job offer, only 2 months later!
Jenny Vickerstaff was my recruitment consultant. She was very helpful in actively looking for a permanent legal role that best suited me. I was made to feel welcomed and what I was looking for was understood. Working with Jenny and Gibson Hollyhomes has been great and I would recommend this agency!
Hannah O'Connor
Highly recommend this company. My consultant was Jenny, she helped me find a great job and was there from start to finish, helping me with interview tips and liaising with my new employer for me. Nothing was too much trouble, really grateful to this company.
I ve been asked to give a #review of #GibsonHollyhomes - a recruitment agency in Leeds and Manchester. The reason I m taking the time is that they found me the fabulous job that I ve just started. I applied for another post on Indeed thinking I would hear nothing, but a couple of hours later they d phoned me and suggested other jobs that I might be interested in. #AmyWalker could not have been more helpful. She gave me pointers, and even took the time to meet me and walk me to an interview (so I wouldn t get lost in the big city). All I can say is THANK YOU... you were awesome'
Amy and her colleagues at Gibson Hollyhomes was the only agency that took me seriously in finding a role with part-time hours due to family commitments. I've been recommending them ever since! (The attitude of some of the bigger agencies was shocking especially when they shout about flexible working for their own staff very loudly - I've not been recommending them to anyone who needs flexible hours or part-time hours!)
The assistance I received from Amy at Gibson Hollyhomes was exemplary, lots of contact, information about the vacancy and the firm and the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in approaching the agency again or, indeed, in recommending your services based on my own experience
Nothing more stressful than looking for a new job but Aston Haslam made the process pretty stress free. Thanks for you help and can t wait to start in the position you found for me.
Terrible experience. Was offered a lower salary than what was stated initially. awful
I had a really positive experience with Gibson Hollyhomes Manchester. Jenny Vickerstaff was my point of contact and not only is she professional, but lovely as well. She asked me to come and meet her and the team so I had the best chance of securing either a temp or perm role. I met them on a Tuesday, they booked an interview for me on the Thursday and I was placed in an ideal role by the following Monday. Jenny kept in touch with me throughout to give me feedback and to see how I'd settled in. She even sent me a lovely card after I'd been in the role for about a week! Thank you to Gibson Hollyhomes and hopefully I go permanent with the job!
Dealt with Jack Doodson in Manchester, he was a lovely person to talk to and a great recruiter. Jack found me a job which is more than I have earned before and in a company with a very good public image. Jack kept me updated and helped me with my nerves before interviews by ensuring a was properly prepared. With in 2 weeks I started a great paying job in a great location.
I would just like to thank Jenny from Gibson Hollyhomes for being extremely helpful and helping to find me a job in just 2 weeks! She has been on the go helping me look for jobs non stop and if something didn t work out there would always be another interview or application lined up. I wouldn t have done it without her.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of looking for a job with Jenny as she is a friendly and caring person also. Thank you so much.
I would highly recommend Gibson Hollyhomes. (Especially Jenny).
Lauren.
Having dealt with a lot of recruiters in the law industry and being told all the reasons, I wouldn t suit the role.
Jenny at Gibson Holyhomes is the only recruiter that I have met that hasn t told me why I wouldn t suit a role, but instead went and got me the position.
Within a day of speaking to Jenny, she had me an interview, after that interview she had another lined up. These were both firms that appealed to what I wanted from my career and aspirations.
I believe actions speak louder than words, and after meeting Jenny I have now promoted her to every student and legal professional I know
Exceptional recruitment agency in Manchester!
I first met with Hannah Gregg around 7 months ago who went through my work history and took the time to find out what I was looking for in my next role. I feel like Hannah really listened to me and put me forward for roles which matched my ambitions.
It's easy to become disheartened with your recruiter when things don't go just right but instead I found Gibson Hollyhomes recruiters were refreshing in their approach to their clients. I was given constructive feedback which helped me broaden my search and ultimately secure not only my next role but a career I can progress within and grow over the next few years.
I would like to personally thank Jenny Vickerstaff who kept in bi-weekly contact with me, either through email or phone. She made me feel at ease before and after interviews. And opened my mind to different career opportunities. I am feeling excited about my first day in my new role and I know a lot of that is down to how easily Jenny has navigated me through my notice period, checked in with me and the time she has spent on my aftercare. Thank-you Jenny!
Awful agency! Hound you with phone calls about roles until there is one you're interested in, then when you go in and register, then never come back to you! I have rung/emailed multiple times and NEVER heard back. Jessica Saunders - how hard is it to update someone?
Sally Proctor at the Leeds office helped me get my new job. From start to finish Sally was friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended.
Dealt with Aston Haslam who helped me with my new job. Couldn't of asked for a better service, and was always helpful with any questions I have. Would definitely recommend again.
Huge shoutout out to GH especially Jessica who I dealt with personally. She was genuinely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process, really easy to approach and made you feel like she genuinely cared about finding you a role you would like. From checking up during my job search, preparing me for interviews and answering my queries she would always give you her time and was just a pleasure to deal with. So grateful for your help securing my latest role and keep up the amazing work!!
Jenny at Gibson Hollyhomes Manchester did an amazing job when it came to getting me a job that was perfectly suited to me! She works very hard to make sure you get not just any job but the right one.
Brilliant experience ( LEEDS branch ) , I had a great time and was able to secure a job very quickly. Jessica who dealt with my application was very friendly and welcoming.From the start until the very end.
Most importantly she didn t give up and i didn t feel abandoned , keeping me Up To date through out the process. some recruitment agencies see you as a number as they are on commission but not in this case.
I wouldn t hesitate to use this firm again if I am seeking employment and would be happy to refer anyone who needs a job :) .
Jenny at the Manchester branch was amazing, she regularly called to tell me about new roles. She seemed to genuinely care about me and my job search and when I landed an interview she called me on the day to wish me luck! It took less than 2 months to find the role I'm in now and it was definitely the right place for me. Even now that I have started she has stayed in touch to ask how I am settling in, honestly could not recommend them enough!
Had a great experience with these guys! Really helped me and found me an amazing job in a company in a couple of weeks and it was a great process and Jenny was really helpful. I can t wait to start my new job!
Outstanding service, support and advice. Matthew was personable, supportive and kept me informed of every stage of the application and interview. Would highly recommend.
Dealt with Hannah Greg. Initially, she was very encouraging, telling me about multiple opportunities available etc etc and how I was perfectly suited for these roles.
She put me forward for an interview and after I attended, I did not hear from her ever again. She did not even bother responding to my email when I chased for a response.
I had to just assume that I was unsuccessful. I was Contacted today by another member of staff, telling me about how my CV is packed with lots experience and how she would love to speak to me.
Gladly, I told her where to stick it and asked that they delete my personal details from their database, and to never contact me again.
Good riddance.
I would like to say a big thank you to Jessica Saunders from the Leeds office. She found me a new position and assured me I was a great fit for the role! She helped me every step of the way (even answering my questions on a sunday evening!) Thank you!
Great company. Jenny helped me get several interviews in the time she was job searching with me and prepped with me extensively so I was well prepared. I can't recommend her or Gibson Hollyhomes enough.
I was scouted by a Jack Doodson. Absolutely amazing service with this recruiter. He has helped me to find a job with not only a pay rise but a well established company. I usually get nervous prior to interviews and Jack was on hand to help me through the prep and questions. Great character and helped me to feel at ease and confident.
A really great service, they found me a good job quickly and Jack Doodson my recruiter gave me some great advice and interview prep. Would definitely use again. This was at the Manchester Branch.
Fantastic Agency, very responsive and supportive. The staff there are all really friendly and helpful
Terrible experience. Was initally offerred a job offer but received a phone call 5 minutes later to tell me the offer had been withdrawn. Doesnt really care about its candidates just the money. Shocking. Avoid!
Jenny Vickerstaff was absolutely amazing in helping me secure my first legal role! She was really supportive throughout the process in answering all the questions I had and was just super friendly to talk to. I would definitely recommend having her as your recruiter!
If I could rate 0 I would. Fill you full of promise and hope and never get back in touch. Complete waste of time.
Rory has been amazing in helping me get my new role. Rory has been very professional, kind and supporting. I felt supported from the very start when I first applied, to now starting my role. Rory provided me with all of the reassurance I needed starting a new role, answering any questions or queries I had. I highly recommend this company.
Got an initial call and sent all documents as requested. The interviewer at the agency seemed more interested in where I had been in past interviews and fishing for more details rather than helping me himself. Never heard back from this agency.
A particular thank you to Jenny Vickerstaff, who has supported me in the best professional way possibile to find my new permanent job. Have not found such an amazing service in any other recruitment agency before.
Would definitely recommend trusting their professional team.
From start to finish of me getting my new job Jess has been extremely helpful and so supportive through the whole process. I couldn't be more thankful to have her by my side during each of my interviews. I would highly recommended this company to anyone who is struggling to find a job at the moment!
I have been dealing with Jenny Vickerstaff who was a pleasure to deal with. I cannot thank Jenny enough for all her hard work, help and words of encouragement during the process of finding a new employment position for me. She is a very pleasant and approachable lady and sincerely has your best interest at heart. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jenny to any of my colleagues, friends or family.
Gibson Hollyhomes have been fantastic. Bryony helped me to find a role that suited my skill set and she made sure I was prepped and ready at every stage of the interviewing and recruitment process.
Exemplary service, so friendly and helpful, would recommend to anyone
Very grateful to Gibson Hollyhomes' Jenny Vickerstaff, who was absolutely fantastic in helping me secure my first job after graduating. She not only placed me in a role extremely quickly, but with a firm that had everything I was looking for career-wise. She also went above and beyond to keep me updated and help me prepare for interview. A very positive experience. Thank you Jenny!
Had a great experience working with Gibson Hollyhomes, would definitely recommend it!
Special thanks to Samantha Westwater-Peers - very professional, brilliant consultant at all levels! It was a big pleasure to go throughout the whole process with her.
Absolutely brilliant service. Jessica in the Leeds branch was on the ball, kept me up to date throughout the recruitment journey and provided everything I needed to help me bag that job. Thanks Jess
I dealt with Jenny Vickerstaff, who I cannot thank enough for contacting me when she had a role which she thought would suit me - Jenny is friendly, helpful, professional and honest, she provided all the encouragement and tools to enable me to be offered the role, which I am very excited about starting. Jenny, your hard work and enthusiasm is second to none - thank you again!
"The assistance I received from Amy at Gibson Hollyhomes was exemplary, lots of contact, information about the vacancy and the firm and the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble.

Really good experience using Gibson Hollyhomes, Jack Doodson kept me updated on numerous jobs on offer, secured an interview within a few days. Got a job with a higher pay package than expected, highly recommend
Jack Doodson from the Manchester Office was extremely helpful and responsive when helping me find the job I was looking for. From the first discussion to a job interview to actually being offered the job, it took 3 days... Thanks to Jack for his help
Fiona and Samantha in temps department are amazing, so lovely and helpful! Couldn't reccomend more.
Absolutely love these guys, they found me a job super quick!! My consultant Josh Hills was so helpful and reassuring. Even more so as he was at the assessment day which was very helpful too. 100% recommend!! (Manchester Branch)
Shout out to the lovely lady(sorry don't know your name) that gave awesome directions when I couldn't find them
Re Leeds branch: Truly awful. That old line of they'll get in touch to propose a role, but then later claim they never had your details... until you prove to them they did. And these people judge others on what they can and cannot do.
Would like to thank Aston Haslam for his support helping me to secure my new job. Aston kept me up to date through all stages of the process, calling before my interviews to check I was OK and then afterwards to see how it went, also keeping me informed of any feedback he had received, brilliant service.
I d like to say a huge thank you to Gibson Hollyhomes, in particular, Hannah. I cannot speak highly enough of Hannah - she is lovely and brilliant at what she does. She previously placed me, 3 and a half years ago, in a role with amazing organisation and brand, and has just found me my new role! Hannah is supportive and in regular contact throughout the whole recruitment process, it s been another really positive experience for me - THANK YOU!
They don't obtain job details properly and don't communicate with their clients. Got put forward for jobs that were under salary expectations and non permanent roles when I asked for permanent roles. Communication is key... won't be bothering with them again.
I have nothing but praise for my consultant, Samantha Westwater-Peers, who is a consummate professional whilst being incredibly personable (and so likeable). She is an intelligent recruiter and isn't just looking to place candidates for the sake of placing; she takes the time to get to know her clients and candidates. This really shows. I had a very good experience working with Gibson Hollyhomes and would recommend them to any friend of mine who might be job-hunting. Thank you, Samantha.
Lovely team and they were so helpful and understanding! Sam was so proactive and reliable and found me a perfect job. Also Rachel was really nice organising my timesheets ect. Really grateful for all their help!
Very professional and helpful.
I dealt with Jack who came across my CV online and found me exactly the job I was looking for. Gave me full support and guidance throughout the process and I couldn't have asked for any more from a recruiter.
Would definitely recommend!
