Octagon Group’s recruiter Joanna has reached out to me when I was looking for my first job after graduating. She sent me a job description for a position that was a very close match to what I was looking for. Throughout the application process she was always very helpful and kind, and always took genuine interest in my progress and offered great advice. In the end I was accepted for the position and I’m sure I could not have done it without her help!

I had a wonderful experience with Maisie in assisting me great opportunities for my career. I highly appreciate the support and guidance provided for my job search, interview preparation and scheduling. I am grateful for the help and positive attitude. Thank you very much. I highly recommend octagon group.

I had a great experience with Laura at Octagon Group. My new role was created for me, so I literally couldn't have got it without her! She guided me through the whole process, from interview through to offer negotiation. Throughout she was very understanding whilst I juggled my full-time role with the recruitment process, making herself available outside of the 9-5 where necessary.

Choosing the Octagon Group was one of the best decisions Ive made, Jabe Bean is by far the best recruiter I’ve worked with so far in my career, he is professional and always there to answer all my questions. Most of all he landed me on the exact job that I was looking for, Great communication between us. Overall awesome company.If anyone else needs a job I would recommend using Jabe Bean at Octagon Group

Great experience! They take care end to end responsibility until we onboard. I had two coordinators 1st person was Luke Mason, and the second person was Steve Bernat. Both of them were very approachable and very helpful throughout the process. Even I'm weak with interviews, they provided me with good support and guidance.

I had a great experience with Ruksana. She know what a power electronics engineer needs and trying to make best matches. She followed closely, answered all my questions and kept me update about the process. Thank you Ruksana!

I would highly recommend Dale Barnett from Octagon Group as he did an amazing job as a recruiter. He found my CV online and within 3 weeks he scheduled everything in terms of interviews and facility visits. His constant interest, ample enthusiasm and helpful advice played crucial role in taking the right decision for my next professional step.

Dale from Octagon Group recently helped me secure my latest position as Quality Manager in manufacturing sector. In these uncertain times changing jobs can be fraught with uncertainty. Dale was able to ensure the whole process went smoothly, interfacing between the client & candidate with the utmost professionalism. Dale is a highly motivated extremely professional recruiter with vast experience in manufacturing industry. He is extremely supportive and I was very positively impressed by his professionalism and positive approach. He had a thorough understanding of the employer's needs, company culture and job specifics, and had been very supportive throughout the whole recruitment process. I was particularly impressed by Dale’s level of communication throughout the whole process, which gave me the confidence that he was working on behalf of both party’s interests. His understanding of the market and the unique needs of both client and candidate are instrumental in satisfying the needs of all parties. His attention to detail and regular follow-ups to confirm the current status are faultless. Dale is a real pleasure to work with and I can wholeheartedly recommend him to any good professional looking to partner with a capable recruiter for a positive career move.

C. W.

I appredicated the follow up actions from Daniel thru out the whole application process. He did give me the background of the company and information of the job description. Meanwhiles, he was also provided the visibility of the status and good feedback from the interviewer. Thank you to him and his collegaue Dale as well.

Jabe and Laura worked incredibly close with me to pinpoint and apply for the most amazing job opportunities. They studied what I had to offer, arranged interviews for positions that were matched to me with incredible accuracy, and assisted me through the entire process. I have just graduated as an Engineer in July and within a week of Octagon finding me, had my schedule full of telephone, video and then face-to-face interviews with awesome companies eager to give me a chance. I am now the proud holder of a power electronics engineering job in Warwickshire, exactly what I wanted, guided from start to employment-contract signing (and beyond) by Jabe. For tech job-seekers out there, I fully recommend starting a dialogue with Octagon. Polite, patient yet pro-active and down to earth professionals who know exactly what they are doing. Times are rough with the pandemic but, one couldn't ask for better support. Thank you for everything.

T. E.

Looking for a new position with Octagon and their representative Bhavesh Patel, was a very pleasant and experience. Unlike a lot of other agencies I have had experience with, Bhavesh knew what the company was after and had done his homework as to what I had to offer and my skill set. A refreshing change. I would have no problem with them contacting me again. Well done !

Jabe Bean @ Octagon group is a great recruiter. Extremely friendly, approachable and frank. He helped me achieve my current position and for that I'm very grateful. A strong understanding of engineering and technical skills made me confident he knew exactly the best options for me. Would not hesitate to get in contact again

M. M.

I have worked with Steve Bernat, Jabe Bean and Dale Barnett. Thank you for the very good job, Octagon Team! It has been a real pleasure to work with all of them and I have had a enjoyable professional experience in our collaboration. Matching was perfect, answers has been clearly answered, communication was good and on time. I'd like to recommend the Octagon Group and personally Mr Dale Barnett, as a perfect partner for finding your next Employer.

A. T.

I would highly recommend Octagon Group to anyone looking for a position. I had the pleasure of working with both Bhavesh and Jabe and they were absolutely amazing. Their professionalism and personal touch in helping my find the right position was unlike anything I have ever experienced. What was most notable in my experience working with them was that they weren't simply trying to sell me the position, but rather, they came back with in-depth background about the positions and the companies. In short, I have never worked with another recruitment agency that was willing to go above and beyond to help me secure a position. Again, I can only highly recommend them to anyone looking to find the right position.

G. C.

Great experience with Octagon. I was found a possible matching company in less then a day. It didn't happen this time but I will stay in touch for future openings. I have been handled by Laura: I really appreciated her professional approach in understanding my needs, issues and strong points. I definitively recommend them.

E. S.

Dale from octagon group provided an excellent service in getting a right job. He is very friendly, enthusiastic and passionate in placing the people by knowing their Strengths. He helped in creating friendly relationship with the company. I really appreciate all his efforts and very thankful for his work.

D. V.

Excellent service from start to finish. Octagon helped us to fill a really tricky Electronics Design Engineer position that had been live for nearly a year with numerous recruiters trying to find the right candidate. Steve spent time getting to know us as a business and in turn was able to submit excellent candidates for the role and we are now delighted with our new hire! We will be using Octagon for all future technical roles

M. B.

Great experience! Jabe is exactly the kind of person you would hope to have as a recruiter: knowledgeable, supportive, accessible, personable. Takes a ton of stress off of career transition!

S. M.

Outstanding service from Octagon Group in particular from Bravesh who managed my application through one of his clients. From the initial contact to confirmation that the job offer was mine only took 3 days. This included 2 interviews with feedback being provided by Bravesh at all times. I would highly recommend the Octagon Group services to both employers and potential employee's alike.

I've been working with the Octagon Group (Jabe and Laura) in my career transition. The whole process has been phenomenal. They have demonstrated high levels of professionalism, integrity, empathy and responsiveness. I couldn't be more satisfied. Erico M (USA)

My experience with Octagon Group excedeed the expectations I had of a good service. The recruiter in charge of my job search (Bhav Patel) not only got me a job, but also supported me in the whole proccess. He took really serious my circunstances and worked to get the best chance I could have. I much appreciate and respect the job of this company and, of course, I very recomend the agency to whoever is interested on getting a new job opportunity.

Jabe was recruiting from the UK for a position in Singapore during COVID-19. While we have never met in person, Jabe did an outstanding job to introduce a prospective new employer to me and vice versa. He kept me informed proactively through the entire recruiting process; from presenting my resume, his client's feedback via preparing me for the various interviews to the final decision process and ultimately the contract closure. He is a rare gem in the industry as he really cares about his customers AND his candidates as he is proactive and responsive despite the time zone differences. Now in my new position, I will make sure to engage Jabe when I am looking for new talent in my team.

K. B.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jabe and the team. I can't say enough about the kindness, professionalism, and flexibility I experienced during this process. The recruitment went smoothly, I was treated fairly and the dreaded negotiation process was completed with zero stress!

M. B.

Simply enough; Ruskana reached out over LinkedIn and within 30 days I had a written offer for exactly what I had been looking for. Jabe was able to explain a lot about the company which really helped while interviewing. I cannot thank this team enough for what they have done.

A. D.

Jabe Bean recruited me for my new role and I can't recommend him and Octogon Group enough. He knew the role and the company so I was able to prepare properly for the interviews. Jabe's communication was excellent and I was very well supported throughout the entire process.

R. V. K.

I had a great experience with Octagon. Huge thanks to Laura who guided me through the application process. She was professional, quick to reply and always helpful if I had any questions. I can only recommend Octagon Group!

J. C.

Jabe is an excellent recruiter. He recruited me for a technical role in a leading global electronic products company. He identified which of my skills and experience would be desirable to the employer, and maintained frequent contact throughout the application process. I was never left in any doubt about what the company was looking for, and he was also thorough in making sure I had the right expectations about what the company could provide for me. It was always a pleasure to speak to him on the phone, and it is clear that he takes real pride in his work. Thank you, Jabe !

I'm extremely lucky to have had Dale's aid while working to find my IT role. Dale reached out to me for an opportunity around a month prior to me acquiring a new position and during this phase he has helped me in progressing to find a role which suit my strengths and personal traits. Dale is an energetic and passionate IT Recruiter, with an attention to detail and to help me stay motivated and making decisions relating to this opportunity. It's rare to find individuals like Dale with such a strong and varied skill set, as well as the ability to forge a strong and genuine relationship.

A. C.

Thank you for showing me the best opportunity. I feel so supportive in the way you guided me to choose my next job and even with the interview process. Special thanks for Dale Barnett who is very patient and gave me all the updates in the recruitment procedures. Thank you for the team of Octagon.

J. C. M.

My experience with Octagon was great. Steve contacted me and quickly set up an interview for me that then turned into an offer from the company. He was always aware of what was happening and was there for any questions I had.

S. F.

I really appreciate the effort from Ruksana and Jabe to helping me finding opportunities and making interviews to get hired in a good position related to my experiance.

M. S.

I've been dealing with a few of the team at Octagon Group they are not like all the other recruiters I've dealt with over the last 3 months. They actually care about you and want to help you even if the job they have isn't right. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for Technical or Engineering jobs!

S. I.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jabe the last 2-3 months while he secured me a new position. Based in the Philippines for the last 10 years, Jabe has gone way beyond what was expected in finding me a position and advising me on opportunities back in the UK. In 30 years in the industry both hiring and looking for myself, Jabe is one of only two people globally I can highly recommend for recruitment needs and being constantly on top of matters. Many thanks Jabe - your effort and dedication is greatly appreciated. I look forward to starting at XP next week. 100% recommended !!!!

M. F.

Really professional yet friendly service provided to me in my job search. I found the Octagon Group knowledgeable and really keen to understand my career aspirations in order to match that to their clients'. Highly recommended!

T. B.

Jabe was fantastic to work with, incredibly helpful and reassuring during a difficult time for the industry. He made sure all parties involved were progressing at pace, not to mention, driving a successful placement.

Great Customer Service from Laura. The conversations were Friendly, and Professional. She was responsive and aided with the difficult part (transitioning).

M. M.

Overall I had great experience. The response time was good. Questions were answered. I appreciate Bhav listening to me when I was thinking out loud. Contacts with the company were established in timely manner. One small constructive feedback would be, please try to avoid sharing the messages to the company if it was agreed not to for different reasons. Not a major issue but something to take on board I guess. Thanks.

A. S.

I've never seen such a good recruiter who supported me and employer perfectly.

C. I.

Laura contacted me for a job she thought I would be interested, she was spot on. I got the job and now I am looking forward to begin. Great service and excellent communication! Highly recommended!!!

j. w.

Luke was very responsive and helped me through every stage of the interviews as well as answering any questions I had. Hopefully will work him again sometime in the future.

E. A.

Bhavesh was very profesional and polite from the initial call to the end of the process, available when he was needed and responding quickly. He's definately up there amongst the best recruiters!

j. p.

After almost a year of job searching Octagon and Steve Barnet helped my find a perfect job in less than a week!

Absolutely exceptional service whereby you are supported every step of the way from initial contact/ recruitment opportunity all the way to support once employed. I have a lot to thank Jabe for.

O. i. E.

I have submitted my CV with all my experiences and skills, with the brilliant and effective help and guidance of Mr Steve Bernat I could find the best and the most suitable chance for me as an embedded software engineer.

E. K.

I worked with Jabe Bean for an interview. He was such a great help for me. I love that he is really committed to the job all off the time. Great place👍

R. A.

Thanks to Jabe I could find a new job in a few weeks, without doubt Octagon makes a difference with the other recruitment agencies
