Spec Recruitment Reviews

A great recruiter - friendly and genuine team. Highly recommended for employers and those looking for work.

Spec are extremely attentive, understanding and hard-working. The friendly team found me work really quickly as well as also passing on my CV to potential employers. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly could not have wished or hoped for a better bunch of people to help with some temporary recruitment! Could not recommend enough. Extremely friendly, welcoming and always looking to check in on how things are going with each assignment, and always happy to help with any questions.
Jackie and the team are marvellous, and were always willing to go above and beyond, always endeavouring to find placements that matched my CV, skills and experience, rather than throwing generic jobs at me that were not suitable. They were also on the ball for more permanent work when the need arose.
In short, a fantastic experience and by far and away better than the larger recruitment firms.

Amazing recruitment company. Friendly, relaxed and supportive!

Leah was very friendly and helpful. She sent my CV off for a variety of jobs and although I did not get a job through the agency (I was offered an extension and promotion within my current role), she did her best to find a good role for me. The agency offer early appointments from 8am, which is really helpful for those in employment.

Such a great team at Spec, Leah, in particular, helped me so much and genuinely made me feel like I wasn't alone. She checked in on me on a regular basis and found me a job that was so much better than I could ever have expected! Thank you so much!

Brilliant service, highly recommended.

Personable staff who really take the time to get to know you and your situation/job status. Have great communication and are brilliant at keeping you in the loop regarding all jobs and applications.

Amazing! Jackie and her team at recruitment are friendly, enthusiastic and great at what they do. Regular communication and honest approach so you know what you're getting, got me a perfect job!

The best experience I have had when dealing with recruitment agencies!! they communicate lots to help you out and are always helpful and happy!!

I recently relocated from London to Bristol and Spec Recruitment have been fantastic in helping me find employment.
They listened to what type of role I wanted and didn't try and push me into any old role they were trying to fill which I have found with other recruitment companies.
If they said they would call me with an update in a week then they did, if my Consultant was off that day the call was made by one of her colleagues, if they didn't have anything for me they still called to let me know what was happening which is much nicer then being ignored for weeks on end - which again, I found was the case with some other recruitment companies I was using.
Thanks very much to Leah and the team at Spec for finding me my job. I plan to be here for the foreseeable future but should that change they will be the first people I call.

What can I say! Absolutely the best experience of a recruitment agency I have ever had! I registered with several and was so disappointed with them. I was then introduced to Spec by a friend............what a difference they really listen. Leah was great and within 2 weeks I had a new job!! I cannot praise them enough. So if you think you know recruitment agencies - think again and go to Spec!

Spec is a wonderful team of women who care and check you are enjoying your position. They got me a job within two days and speak to me at least once a week asking if im ok and if there is anything else they can do! Best recruitment agency i've ever used and highly recommend them!

All of the Spec team were so friendly and helpful throughout my job search. Leah and Jackie went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and comfortable at all times. I'm now in a job that I love and couldn't thank them enough. I would highly recommend to everyone.

The Team at Spec are Friendly and proffesional. I found them encouraging and supportive!!

Everyone at Spec has been very helpful throughout my experience with them. It didn't take them long to line me up with some work that I really enjoy.

I was very impressed with Spec recruitment. Having never used a recruitment agency I did not know what to expect. They were very welcoming and always rang me with updates. I got the first job I had an interview for which was ideally suited to my skill set and have even sent me a birthday card to my new office!-what more could you want?!

Absolute joy to work with these guys, friendly, helpful and professional and always kept me regularly updated with new temp opportunities! Would definitely use these guys again. Thank you so much for all your help!

Spec Recruitmnet are a welcoming, enthuastic and professional team. Everyone there is very friendly and they always ensured I was happy at my work place and always had a job lined up for me. I would highly recommend Spec Recruitment to anyone who is looking for a recruitment agency in Bristol! They always left a smile on my face :)

Everyone at spec is wonderful to work for, they're always so personable and nothing is ever any hassle. They're extremely efficient and placed me in an excellent company and due to this, I couldn't be happier in my place of work. I would highly reccommend going through spec!

All the girls at Spec are amazing! Super friendly, helpful and approachable :)

Simply brilliant! I joined spec recruitment on the Monday and had an interview on the Thursday plus I got the job!! Spec were the first agency I contacted in bristol and gave me A1 service of professionalism, easy to contact & friendliness. Leah@spec 5***** recruitment consultant.

I found Spec Recruitment to be very professional. All the staff are very friendly and Leah had arranged an interview for me within a day of registering with them, I subsequently got the job. I would recommend Spec Recruitment to anyone wanting to find quality employment.

Spec have been on the ball right from the start - provided quality candidates, even at short notice, have been helpful and pleasant all the way through the process. Candidates have also commented favourably on Spec's personal touch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Spec as a leading Recruitment Agency.

I have used Spec Recruitment a couple of times to find me jobs over the past 8 years. They have always been so welcoming and they do not stop until they are able to find you the correct job. So friendly and professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I would recommend them highly.

Just got a new job in office and administration thanks to Spec Recruitment. With their help, I can now say bye bye to retail! They're super fast at finding you work and really helpful in guiding you through your cv refinements and your interview technique. Could not reccomend them more! Thank you guys!

Fantastic team. They really take the time to get to know you and what you are looking for, and always super friendly and helpful. Having relocated to Bristol, I went to meet them and by the end of the day I had been to an interview and secured a job to start the next day! Can't thank them enough for their help.

Natasha and Anne-Marie have been awesome! Within 24 hours of signing up with Spec I had an interview and job offer! They were so friendly and knowledgeable, they put me at ease and I've had a really positive experience with this great all female team! I can't recommend them enough!

Spec recruitment are really friendly and bubbly, the positions they found were relevant and enjoyable, they checked in to see how I was doing and would regularly update me. I highly recommend! Special thank you to Anne-Marie, Leah and Natasha :)

Spec contacted me after I applied for a job they were advertising so I went to register with them, and I'm so glad I did! They were so friendly, they made me feel so relaxed which was lovely. They found me a short term job after a couple of days which I couldn't make, then 2 days later called me with a long term placement, which I took up and have just finished after 3 months. It was a lovely placement in a relaxed office with really genuinely lovely people, and I enjoyed my time there so much. Temping was perfect for my situation (on a gap year and needed some work in between travelling) and allowed me to save up money, as well as getting some valuable new experience to put on my CV. Thanks so much to Spec for making it all so easy! I'll definitely be back in my uni holidays!

I had such a fab experience dealing with spec. They were all so lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend them. Thanks Gemma :)

I've used Spec twice now and both times they have found me great jobs very quickly. They keep you informed throughout the process and when they meet you to discuss your needs they care about what you want in a job. Plus, everyone I spoke to has been lovely and in-the-know at all times. Would highly recommend them.

I had a wonderful experience with Spec Recrutiment. Their staff was very helpful and professional whilst helping me with my job search. I found employment through after looking for months. They are very quick to respond to emails and are very supportive and present through the entire process! Highly recommend!

Great recruitment team who are all very friendly and helpful. I would recommend them if you're looking for work. Leah was great and found me a job within 2 days of signing up. She provided me with everything I needed to know.

Natasha at Spec Recruitment was so friendly and helpful throughout, she called me almost everyday with new job opportunities and updates on jobs I'd already applied for. I couldn't have asked for a better customer journey, I would recommend Spec Recruitment to anyone.

Overall, I have found Spec to be an attentive, fun and hard working agency. They treated me like an individual, and all the staff are absolutely delightful!
I first signed up with Spec in 2013, but did not get any work through them. I re-registered in Feb 2015, and Jackie remembered me and knew exactly who I was, and really helped me out finding work as soon as possible. I did a couple of day's work at very short notice, and then had a 10 week placement through them. All through the placement, they were checking up on me, making sure everything was ok and reminding me to send in my timesheets. I then found a permanent job through Spec, and they kept me up to date with the whole process. A great agency with lovely staff. Big shout out to Jackie, Alex, Leah, Natasha and Lauren!! Thank you!

Spec found me my first graduate full time job straight away in the exact industry I wanted to work in, and always checked up on me. They are so approachable, don't ever pressurise you and are also very knowledgeable, thank you so much :)

The whole team are lovely, very friendly and genuine. They really do care and helped me massively. I highly recommend them.

The team at Spec are great, they take time to find out about your job requirements and give constructive advice. They secured me a great temp position in the exact type of role I was looking for - and I now have a permanent contract with the company. They communicate with you throughout the process and are extremely supportive.

Spec Recruitment are a great company, everyone is very friendly and always helpful, a pleasure to deal with.

Everyone there are so lovely and so helpful.
They all make you feel like you are the only person they deal with, which for a recruitment agency is amazing.
The best agency I signed up with and would recommend everyone to use them.

Absolutely fantastic recruitment agency. Extremely friendly and helpful group of people. Had job offers for me within the first phone call I had with them. Thoroughly recommend them, they even keep up to date with you once you get a job which is lovely. Certainly feel like they genuinely care about finding you a job!

Absolutely fantastic! The girls got me an interview within a day of signing up with them, even better than that it was in a field of work I studied to do! Got the job, and am now a permanent employee and I couldn't be happier!

They definitely listen to your needs and wants from a job to try and find the best role as quickly as possibly. Just overall amazing really! 5******

I can personally recommend Spec Recruitment for placements for both employer and employees. They are truly professional and were absolutely relentless in finding me my dream position. I cannot thank them enough!

Lovely friendly girls. They found me work the day I met with them. Would definitely recommend!

Spec are a great agency, Jackie in particular is so responsive and caring - she really takes the time to get you know you and works hard to find you the right role. Her team are very professional and dedicated. I would definitely recommend working with Spec, and would do so again.

The best recruitment agency I've ever been registered with. Natasha, Leah, Ann-Marie, Jackie and the team took so much care - they were the only recruiters to contact me weekly with updates and to generally check in on me. They are so friendly and cheerful and I always felt very taken care of! I definitely recommend registering with Spec!

Highly recommend using Spec Recruitment! They could not be more helpful and friendly. All the staff are lovely - especially Leah Jones who helped me throughout my job search! Nothing is too much trouble and they are very understanding if the job doesn't sound right for you.(not pushy at all)
5 star service received for me!!

I rang Spec Recruitment because my time at uni was coming to an end and I desperately needed a full time job. I could not have asked for better people to help me with my job search. All of the girls are so helpful and made the effort to get to know me and what I wanted when it came to a job. I am so grateful to them for finding me my perfect job just three weeks after I finished uni, and I am especially grateful to Leah for always going above and beyond to ensure I was always up to date with everything as soon as she had any news for me. Thanks to Spec Recruitment I am now looking forward to starting my new job on Monday, and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs some help or advice in finding a new job/career. Thank you guys so much!

Fantastic and friendly agency, with regular job updates and check in's to see progress

The girls at spec were the most helpful and some the most delightful people I've ever met. They were so full of energy and wanted to help you find the perfect job. During the whole (very quick) process they were checking in and very supportive. I am now in a job I thoroughly enjoy and can't thank them enough! Thank you so much Natasha, Anne-Marie and Jackie! xx

All of the ladies at Spec Recruitment were fantastic. Such a friendly and personable approach I have not experienced before from other recruitment agencies (and doubt I'll receive again)

I would strongly recommend contacting Spec Recruitment and cannot fault their process.

Thank you Spec Recruitment Ladies!!!
No doubt I'll be in touch in the future x

I've had dealings with other recruitment companies in the past but Spec have been the best by far! The ladies in the office were so welcoming and put me at ease throughout the whole process. I never felt like they weren't trying and rooting for me.
I'm so thankful for all their help!

I registered with Spec to get some temporary work over the university holidays and the same day that I registered, they offered me a temporary assignment! The staff are so friendly; they are always in contact with you when on an assignment to check that everything's going well and that you're happy. They listen to any problems you have and do everything they can to help! They genuinely care about you and I really cannot recommend the agency highly enough. Thank you so much Spec (Alex in particular)!

If you are looking for a recruitment agency that seems to be exceptional at providing good customer service people, then I have used Spec for more than 10 years. They are helpful and commercial in their dealings at all time.

Amazing experience with Spec recruitment and Jackie, felt like she actually wanted what was best for me, made sure that I was kept up to date throughout the process. Lovely and friendly would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new job. Thanks for all your hard work.

Jackie, Anne-Marie and Natasha have been phenomenal in helping me with my job search. Though faced with the challenge of relocating to Bristol, they have been amazing at helping me get in interviews and keeping me informed every step of the way. I am so thankful for the team and all of their support!

They re good fun to deal with and always do their very best for you. There is a little ray of sunshine in all that work there. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

Very friendly helpful staff. Kept me updated at all stages during the process of getting my new job. They are very competent and good at what they do

I spoke to Natasha over the phone and decided to make a commute to Bristol. It was definitely worth the trip, they where friendly, polite and wanted to know about me. After registering Natasha matched me with a great job that I am now starting soon. Thank you!

The ladies over at Spec are absolute babes!!! They have been so wonderful and helpful in finding me work. They were not put off at all by my complete lack of experience and have found me some great temp jobs in fun, friendly companies.

Such a welcoming and fun bunch, who really listen to what you want from a job and then go and find it for you. Its been a pleasure dealing with them!

Awesome recruiters with great energy and enthusiasm, who delivered the results in a short space of time. Would recommend to anybody.

Fantastic agency. Really friendly and professional staff. Having just moved to Bristol they managed to secure me a job quickly and communicated with me well throughout. Couldn't reccomend more.

I signed up with Spec only last week and they've already secured me a number of interviews in different sectors. They're always a delight on the phone and in person and have had faith in me to push me towards jobs I might not have considered. I am so glad I signed up with them when I did!

I strongly recomend this agency. They managed to get me a job within 2 days. The team is very friendly and always happy to help with anything you need.

What a con, as soon as you register with them - they don't do anything further to help you. They try and get as many people on there books to look good and that's all they do.

Spec have been amazing in getting a new job for me! Leah has been keeping me posted on everything I need to know, helping me with interview tips etc and it's all paid off in just a few weeks as I now have a new job! Can't thank the girls at Spec enough!

Spec recruitment helped me get a job in a matter of days! Would reccommend the highly! Thank you so much!

I've been into quite a few recruitment companies since I've been in the UK and the ladies at Spec Recruitment were the friendliest and also the only ones able to find me something decent to do!

Highly recommend. They found the perfect job for me. Jackie is amazing. Very professional and supportive.

Very worthy of 5 stars. Natasha at Spec recruitment is very warm and welcoming and has made this 'new job' search experience an enjoyable one for me. Natasha is very supportive and has advised and listened to me so well and also keeps in touch with regular updates and even telephoned me to wish me luck prior to an interview . Definitely worth getting in touch with the Spec recruitment team if you are looking for work or a career change. I have also spoken to other members of the team who are equally amazing and they stand out so much compared to other recruitment companies. They really do know their job well and love what they do. Amazing people!!

When I'm looking for a new job there is only one place to go. Spec have helped me get my last two jobs over the last 12 years. They get to know you and as individual and make sure that they find you a job that lasts.

brilliant experience with Jackie and team - easily the best recruitment agency to use. They're honest and fast with communication, even when there is nothing appropriate they still try their best. thanks for everything!

I can t recommend this agency enough!
I unfortunately lost my job, within 24 hours of being with Spec they found me which I believe to be the perfect job for me!
They managed to meet all my requires effortlessly.
Not only that they are lovely genuine people who s intentions are pure!
They were so helpful I couldn t thank them enough.

I found out about Spec Recruitment through a friend who had recommended them and so dropped them an email. They responded the same day to ask me to pop in and see them that week and I was signed up. Within only few days they had found me work and continued to do so the whole time I was available. They are so incredibly friendly and attentive making sure you're comfortable on every placement. Spec were really easy to get hold of and super flexible if you weren't able to make work they offered you. Would highly recommend them and will definitely be using this lovely company when I'm looking for temporary work again.

After my experience using Spec Recruitment I cannot recommend it enough. They make you feel at ease and really try to get to know you rather than simply just being another person looking for a job. The application process and interview were very straightforward and professional. Once I explained what I was looking for I had several phone calls and emails with different jobs that had become available and they try to find something which is tailored to your needs rather than just any job. They clearly understand the customers and clients very well. Spec made what could have been a very stressful and daunting challenge very easy and dare I say enjoyable! A particular mention to Natasha, for her constant professionalism, help and guidance.

Brilliant team, Leah has been most helpful and kind in the path to finding me a new role after relocating from Australia!

I was looking for a part-time admin job, however after having 4 years break in career and not being very flexible with hours and days it wasn't easy. Been to few recruitment agencies, but they didn't even want to talk to me, while Spec Recruitment managed to find me a temporary job very quickly, which now became permanent. I have to say that I've never came across such friendly and professional service. All the Spec's staff was very understanding, helpful and very supportive. I would highly recommend Spec Recruitment! If I ever gonna have to look for another job, Spec Recruitment will be the first place I will contact.
Thanks a lot Spec Recruitment and special thanks to Alex :)

Spec helped me find work and subsequently relocate to Bristol nearly 3 years ago now and I've never gotten round to reviewing them here but still to this day recommend them! I couldn't have stumbled across a better recruitment agency so send as many people their way as I can!

I signed up to Spec after hearing about them through a friend, the day I went to register with them I was asked if I could start as a temp the very same day!

I am so grateful for this, if I hadn't of gone through them I wouldn't of met the lovely people I now work with and of landed a permanent role!

Excellent company, couldn't rate them high enough!

Absolutely pleasure to deal with, very friendly group of ladies, especially Leah who has gone above and beyond to help me out. Will always go back to spec recruitment. Throughly recommend to anyone. Thank you to everyone at Spec. Job well done x

Excellent recruitment team!!
The whole team were friendly, really helpful and encouraging. They arranged interviews really quickly and supplied all information you could need. I have already recommended them to a friend!

These wonderful people have a totally different approach to recruitment. The are friendly and genuinely want to find the best place for you, rather than see people as a big Pound sign.

The best recruitment agency I've ever used, so helpful and friendly - Natasha was amazing and talked through my cv with me in detail, the office is so nice and has such a positive environment, i received a job two days after signing up to them! They couldn't have done anything better!

Amazing agency and staff that is actually interested in you, your skills and goals. Fantastic with finding the right job for the person!

Good agency, temporary or permanent jobs were as described by consultant. When looking for work was contacted weekly with an update. Will definitely use agency again.

Spec Recruitment are absolutely amazing!

I registered with Spec after moving to Bristol and they immediately found me temporary work while I looked for a permanent role. They were friendly, kind and genuinely took the time to get to know me as an individual to understand what I was looking for. I was uncertain about temping and whether this would be the right option for me, however Alex the Temporaries Consultant talked me through the process and answered any queries or worries I had, and I am so pleased that I took the chance as this added office experience to my CV and helped me to gain a permanent position.

I was unsure about signing up to a recruitment agency when I was first searching for a job, however Spec was definitely above and beyond the best agency I met with. They have genuine personality, clearly love what they do and gave me the confidence I needed. I cannot recommend them enough! A big thank you to everyone at Spec, especially Alex who kept in contact with me from start to finish and has even checked in with me at my new job. This recruitment agency is one of a kind!

They were the first recruitment agency to contact me and started the ball rolling very quickly, which was a massive reassurance to me. They are out of town but very easy to find, on a bus route. They found me a job that suited me within 2 weeks.

Could not recommend Spec Recruitment enough! Jackie was very speedy at finding me a job and always went above and beyond to ensure I was happy in my new role. Wish I could stay with them for longer! Thanks a million!

Fantastic to deal with. Was made to feel important with Jackie phoning up regularly for a catch up. She was fun, friendly but professional. Spec Recruitment has helped me secure a permanent role in my dream job. I couldn't fault them.

Really impressed with Spec Recruitment. Natasha, Anne-Marie and Jackie all put the effort to get to know my situation and ensure I was matched with the right job role. Great communication and also super friendly. Would recommend!

All the staff are incredibly friendly and positive. Always helpful when I phoned up, even if they had nothing to update me on.

Amazing team. Always cheerful. Takes into consideration of travel distance and due to recovering from an injury from rugby, they try to find me roles that I can do so that I am not out of work. Always in contact via text, email or phonecall. Will always keep me in the loop even if there isn't anything available at the time.

Could not recommend this place highly enough. Everyone that I spoke to was so friendly and helpful and made me feel really at home. They were always offering advice and even helped me reconstruct my CV so that it read more professionally and would stand out more to potential employers.

I dealt mostly with Lauren, who was so lovely and friendly and ALWAYS kept me in the loop. She was very professional, but also ensured that I felt comfortable and I never felt as if I couldn't ask her for guidance.

I'm so happy with the experience I have had with Spec Recruitment and I will continue to tell all of my friends about it, and will definitely be going back in the future if I need to!

Being a recent graduate and new to Bristol, going for my first interviews was a pretty terrifying experience! However the lovely ladies at Spec put me at ease right away, assuring me that I would have a great first proper job in no time. They were right! I can't thank Spec enough for getting me a great receptionist role in a fabulous company where the people are awesome! Spec were helpful, friendly, prompt and even after I got my job, continued to call me to check I was getting on well! I would recommend them to anyone as a truly caring recruitment agency who want the best for their clients. Thanks ladies!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience dealing with Spec Recruitment recently. I found them friendly, enthusiastic, and proactive. Jackie took the time to chat and get to know me to ensure a good fit. She kept me up to date with my application and I'd be very happy to deal with Spec again in the future.
