Lauren was my contact with Abacus throughout the interview processes I took part in and by far the best I have dealt with. She was extremely professional, helpful and friendly - assisting me with interview prep and ensuring a catch up call after my interviews. Lauren always kept in touch to provide updates throughout this process. I believe that the first person you speak with sets the tone of a company. Lauren is a great asset for Abacus and is the perfect person to give a first impression of the company to potential employees. Lauren went above and beyond to ensure that any questions or queries that I had were answered, allowing me to focus fully on the interview processes.

I wanted to say a huge thanks to Marc at Abacus for his help recently in recommending a great position to advance my career. Everything from his professionalism, interview preparation, questions, follow-up and feedback was top class. Nothing was too much to ask and he provided opportunities that were a good fit to my requirements. If you are thinking on changing employment, I couldn't recommend the guys at Abacus enough.

N. M.

I recently started a new job gained through Abacus. Marc Norton was fantastic from the start! He made the whole process smooth, quick and enjoyable. He kept in constant contact with me throughout and really helped me with the whole interview process. He has even maintained contact with me after I accepted the job, to ensure a smooth first week of employment. Nothing was ever too much to ask and Marc dealt with all my queries quickly and professionally. I could not recommend Marc enough!

Andrew Harrison recently helped me secure a technical job. I had some requirements which were proving very hard to find, so I was in doubt it even existed. As a new mother I wanted to work from home and work a 4 day week to facilitate my childcare arrangements. Andrew searched high and low and found a suitable opportunity for me. Andrew was very informative throughout, providing me with updates at every juncture with regards to the interview process and next steps. I am very impressed by the level of care provided by Andrew, he was able to answer any questions I asked. I would highly recommend Andrew Harrison to anyone in the technical space who is looking for a new job. This has been the best recruitment experience I have received, I have been to other recruitment firms where the recruiter promises the sun and earth but disappears into the ether. I am glad this was not the case again. Very impressed. Thanks so much Andrew!

I've recently secured a new job role with the help of Lucia Callaghan at Abacus, who has been so helpful and kind throughout the whole job process! Shes been great at helping me get ready for my job interview, and was always very open and friendly by helping me secure a role that suited me. The level of care and commitment shown by Lucia has been very reassuring, I would definitely recommend working with her!

J. B.

Marc at Abacus helped me to secure my new role which I start tomorrow. I couldn’t be more grateful for his help throughout the process. He is professional and friendly, always available to answer questions and his interview prep tips were brilliant. Thanks Marc for helping me to take that step for a fresh start! Highly recommend Marc and Abacus if you want to take that next step in your career. Thanks again!

Nicky Strutt is a fantastic consultant with abacus recruitment. I highly recommend anyone within the financial services industry to contact him if you are looking a new career. Nicky never forgot about me when I was searching, every so often I would get an email or a phone call telling me about a job that was available and his passion to tell me about the jobs were extremely informative and helpful which in turn made me interested in the roles as well. Other recruitment agencies would usually forget about you within 2 weeks, I applied to many and I got contacted once by the other agencies and then they expected me to always look and then contact them, even though I was looking on all the job sites. Nicky contacted me when he seen something that matched my CV, and I am very happy that he did as he sold me the opportunity to apply to the company I now currently work for. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! When I applied, he kept on top of when my interview would be, what to expect from the next interviews that I had with the company. He kept in contact with them and me. It was a very professional service and cannot recommend enough. Thank you very much Nicky I am extremely grateful. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've recently worked with Colin at Abacus, and got a recent job offer. He was very understanding of my situation, and really helpful and encouraging. He went above and beyond to help me, and I am truly grateful. I would definitely recommend working with him and Abacus!

R.

Colin was a great help in aligning me with my job and the subsequent interviews and keeping up communication throughout the whole process. Any questions or issues I needed addressed he clarified completely and helped me along the way. I highly recommend Colin and Abacus for finding the job you want!

E. C.

Great experience with Abacus Careers. Catherine was more than helpful with any queries I had. She was professional and so friendly from day one. She has been a great support throughout the process of finding a role that suited me and my goals & provided guidance right through until settling into the new role.

A. M.

Casey reached out to me regarding exciting new job opportunities which I couldn't turn down. She was very helpful and resourceful from start to end. Answered all my questions and was professional through out the process. I would definitely recommend Abacus Careers as they helped find me the perfect job. Couldn't have thanked Casey enough for all her efforts, she was brilliant !

J. G.

I was really impressed with how abacus provided the guidance and support necessary to start my career. Working with Catherine was a pleasure. I knew immediately and was reminded consistently, throughout the process, of the care Catherine had, not treating me as a prospect but as a person. I couldn’t recommend a company or recruiter better!

T. G.

One of the nicest experiences I have had with recruiters in general was with Abacus's Ross Winning. He had a friendly, proactive and professional approach with me, prepared me for the roles, gave me general background of the companies and trained me for the interviews with skills like STAR technique. He also helped me streamline my CV to be more visually appealing. On top of this, he answered all my queries in a prompt and courteous manner even if I would call after business hours. After my first day on a new role, he checked if I was ok and did so again the next week to see if I need any kind of help. This approach distinguishes both Ross and Abacus from others.

F. R.

Thank you to Katie at Abacus for all her help with finding my new role in the QA sector. Katie was so helpful and professional through the entire process. I felt very prepared and confident with the interviews, where usually I would have been been nervous. Katie has continued to keep in touch with me leading up to my first day, making sure I am happy with everything and able to ask any questions. Highly recommended.

S. G.

Had a terrific experience working with Abacus and Nicky Strutt in particular, who was fantastic in providing a really friendly, attentive, accessible and informative experience from start to finish. Communication always great. Thanks to Nicky, I've been able to make a professional transition back to Belfast and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Nicky, for a seamless candidate experience.

C. M. H.

Jenna at Abacus was brilliant from start to finish. She made me feel at ease throughout the recruitment process, was very attentive checking-in with me at various stages and always available whenever I had any queries. Jenna was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend her.

j. o.

I contacted a few recruiters. Siobhan Metcalfe was extremely friendly and professional. My job search was specific in what I wanted yet she was quickly able to negotiate an interview for me within a week. When I needed assistance with Microsoft Teams as I could not get the microphone working she went over and above what was required and offered to test it the day before my interview. I am extremely grateful for the positive experience she provided and was absolutely delighted to be offered a job within 10 days of first making contact with Siobhan! A credit to the company.

D. N.

I want to say thank you to Nicky at Abacus for his assistance in securing a job. Recently accepted an offer through Abacus. Nicky guided me through the interview stages. Though Nicky was on annual leave on my first day, another member (Siobhan) within the Abacus team reached out to me before lunchtime to check if everything was going well. Believe it or not, later that day, Nicky still made time to check up on me. That’s dedication! In short, I would highly recommend Abacus for anyone looking to go into Financial Crime. It’s clear they will take care of you.

N. R.

I’ve recently accepted a job offer through Abacus. Hannah Bishop was my recruitment consultant and by far the best I have dealt with. She was extremely professional, helpful and friendly - assisting me with interview prep and ensuring a catch up call after each of my four interviews. Hannah always kept in touch to provide updates despite this being a 2 month long process. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

S. H.

Catherine has been an immense support in assisting me with finding a new position. She was always on hand to answer any questions and provided quality guidance with interview preparation and the subsequent steps to take once an offer had been made. Not only is she a total professional but also had a very personal approach in our interactions which made working with her an absolute pleasure. I can't thank her enough for making what is normally a daunting experience a really enjoyable transition.

a. m.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Colin at Abacus. He was able to secure an interview for me within an hour of our first chat. First class all around, can't recommend enough if you are looking for a role in software.

D. F. G.

I had the luck to work with Andrew and his team at Abacus and I can only say that the experience has been top. The attention I’ve received from the first day has been excepcional and well over any other recruiters I’ve worked with. If you are looking for a career change and trying to get a good professional team to help you, you are in good hands!

A. M.

Having had recent experience with Ross and Abacus, I could not recommend them enough! Ross was consistent, reliable and personable. He checked in on me throughout the process which made it seem much less daunting, and overall, seamless. Top bloke, and a great service.

K.

Katie was great to deal with. I’ve never worked with a recruiter before, and to be honest I’m usually hesitant to reply to recruiters on LinkedIn but she was honest and informative about the company and really helped in the application process. She regularly checked in to make sure me and the company would be a good fit. I would recommend talking to her for anyone looking for a new role (or even those not actively looking for a new role!)

J. M.

Just want to say a huge thanks to Katie McMullan for all the help with getting me a new role. Katie helped with everything from start to finish which was great for me who had never entered the recruitment process before. Would definitely recommend having a chat with Katie to explore your options.

Brilliant experience with Abacus and Hannah Bishop, who helped me land a role that is perfect for me! From Day 1, Hannah has been nothing but proficient, extremely helpful during the interview processes and maintaining communication after I secured the job. Hannah took the time to put me ease and build my confidence before my interviews, which I really appreciated. She is a great communicator and readily available to resolve any queries. It has been an absolute pleasure to have Hannah as my recruiter and I would highly recommend her! Thank you Hannah and Abacus for a smooth recruitment experience.

D. M.

I've recently accepted employment through an opportunity presented by Abacus. I first met Ross in 2020 and was taken by his professionalism. I ended up remaining with my company at the time, but a couple of years later I reached out to him. Ross was incredibly supportive and, more importantly, down to earth. I've met with many recruiters in the last few years and Ross had the perfect balance between personable and professional. He guided me through each step if the three stage interview process. I would recommend Ross to anyone else looking for employment in the tech industry.

S.

I had a great experience with Abacus. Ross worked with me to find a role that suited me personally, and I felt that he really understood the kind of role I wanted and made great recommendations based on this. He was quick to respond and kept me updated, and when it came to interviews he gave me a few tips and called beforehand to check in with how I was feeling. He also was in contact often with the company in question, which I felt made the whole process a lot faster and smoother than if I had done it all myself. Definitely made job searching a lot less stressful, and thank you so much for all your assistance!

A. M.

Adam Myles at Abacus was very professional and extremely helpful in helping me find the right role. There was clear communication with regular updates about new positions he knew I would be interested in showing he had very good judgement. Adam was very easy to talk to and we both reached a clear understanding of my ability level and where I would be suited to along with what I was seeking in a new role. There was no pushing of roles I was unsure of or didn't have experience for which was a nice relief as I felt like they took everything I said on board seriously. I would highly recommend Adam and Abacus for anyone seeking new jobs in the market as even after I was successful in securing a position with their help he kept in touch to see how I was doing after a few weeks which was quite considerate and professional.

J. H.

I recently secured a job through the help of Stuart John at Abacus.

I recently accepted an offer from an interview opportunity I received through Abacus. I reached out to Katie interested to hear the opportunities she had that were suitable for me. Katie listened carefully to my specific needs and found the perfect interview opportunity for me. This meant I wasted no time myself looking for the right job. The whole process was surprisingly seamless. Katie was completely professional and extremely rapid in her response to any questions I had.

Couldn’t recommend Katie enough.

I would not hesitate in recommending Ross from Abacus to others seeking a new role!

T. B.

The team at Abacus and in particular, Alan are absolutely fantastic with Alan going above and beyond what I expected.

I have recently been supported by Katie during my interview process with CME group. Katie has been fantastic from the very beginning. She is very friendly but thorough and always kept me updated through every single stage of the interviewing process. She always followed up post each interaction with CME group to ensure that I was happy with how it went and ensured a smooth closure which lead to a job offer. I have also recommended Katie to a few of my friends who are also looking for a career change. Thank you Katie for making this nerve wrecking process much easier. Without your support, I wouldn't feel as comfortable going through the interviewing process.

A. M.

My experience with Abacus and Ross Mckee was nothing short of ideal and I have no reservations in recommending them for any potential future clients. I have no doubt that they will successfully locate and provide suitable roles with their invaluable recruiting experience. On a personal level, Ross was pleasant and interacted well with me. He was hardworking, conscientious and highly motivated to provide me the best opportunities, arguing my case in securing me a suitable role. He possesses excellent communication skills and was able to build a rapport with me very quickly, identifying my personality type and constructing an accurate, yet desirable character representation for myself. He was always excellent in reaching out to me, conveying any updates quickly and concisely. I would highly recommend Abacus and Ross specifically when looking for a new role or change in career. Thankyou Ross for all the help and guidance along the way, it was a pleasure to work with a professional such as yourself.

L. P.

I had an incredible experience with Abacus, particularly with Amy Rollins who assisted me throughout the application. Finding a role as a recent graduate is very difficult in the current circumstances, and so I can hardly believe how quick the turnaround has been! Less than two weeks after Amy called me about the role, I had the interview and received an offer on the same day. I am also delighted with the position, which is at a top tier law firm. Amy was very attentive throughout application process; she checked in with me at every step of the process to keep me informed and answer any questions I had. Overall, Abacus is a fantastic service and I would recommend anyone looking for work in any of their specialist areas to use them!

D. G.

After graduating my foundation degree I was in the process of applying for graduate jobs, while still studying and renovating a house... I struggled to research, apply and continuously follow up with companies on my own. It was confusing and frustrating not knowing what to expect as I had only recently graduated and had little experience in the industry I was applying to work however when I met Ross from Abacus everything was made so much more simple! He helped me select suitable jobs within the IT industry and motivated me with interview preparation and focusing on keys aspects of the job role. He listening to my concerns and offered me valuable advice based on what I was trying to achieve. Within a short time I was interviewing for potential jobs that were interesting and exciting and have recently recieved an offer for a fantastic opportunity to work with an amazing company! I can't thank Ross enough for his efforts in supporting me through this process, he truly is a gentleman of his word. I have already recommended Ross and Abacus to a few friends and family and will continue to sing their praises for long to come. Thank you again Ross you are worth your weight in gold and it has not gone unnoticed!

S.

I have to change this review from 1 star given 3 years ago to 5 star. Colin has been exceptional amongst the recruiters I have been talking to in the past few months. He understands exactly what you need and won't push you into roles that aren't a perfect fit. He goes above and beyond his professional tasks and treats you as an individual. I'd highly recommend Abacus, especially Colin if you wish to find a job that suits you perfectly.

S. B.

My experience dealing with Abacus Careers has been incredible. From the first point of contact, Ross was incredibly approachable and attentive to what I was looking for in my next job.

His professional and consultative approach, when coupled with his amiable manner, meant that it was an absolute pleasure to have Abacus as my representation throughout the successful recruitment process.

P. M.

Throughout my entire process with Abacus in which I got the job, Ross Mckee has been there each step of the way. The man is a great boon and sage adviser. Always trying to keep in touch and making sure that I was always up to date at every stage. I really feel that process was made more beneficial and lucrative because of his direct advice and action. Ross really wants to make sure that you are in the best place for yourself.

G. J.

I have had many recruiters contact me over the last 12 months and none come close to the professionalism, honesty and integrity offered by Abacus. Specifically Damian Farrell, who is a credit to the organisation. 100% recommended.

N. C.

I came across a job opportunity on the web that Abacus were managing and found the whole experience (as an applicant) to be extremely positive; they were a breath of fresh air compared to some agencies I'd been in contact with before. Alex was professional and friendly and spent a lot of time talking to me about the role and helping me prepare, nothing seemed too much trouble. I hadn't worked with Abacus before, either as a hiring manager or applicant but would have no hesitation using their services again.

G. M.

I had a great experience with Abacus Careers searching for a graduate legal job. Amy Rollins was very helpful in securing my new paralegal job in a global law firm. She was a fantastic help through every stage of the application. Spoke with me before and after the interview and kept in touch with me when I did not intially get a paralegal role. I would highly recommend Abacus Careers if searching for a new job, especially in the legal sector.

M. M.

I was assisted and supported by Hannah Bishop in gaining a job role. Hannah was really lovely and helpful, we even had a video call to do interview prep the day before. Even after obtaining the position, Hannah has continued to keep in touch for any queries and to wish me luck. The consistent support throughout the process was very reassuring and I would recommend to anyone!

C. D.

My experience with Abacus was brilliant. Colin was very professional, responsive and showed genuine interest in my career progression. I was offered a great position with a great company within a couple of weeks of our first interaction. Highly recommend.

J. F.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicky on a recent job application in the finance industry. His professionalism and support was top class and helped me though to the Interview. I am happy to say I was successful and I cannot thank Nicky enough for his support throughout the process. I am now looking forward to this new challenge in my career. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicky and Abacus as recruitment consultants.

a. a.

Katie has been so instrumental in getting me my next role, she followed up all through the process and ensured she got the best deal for me. She listened to my concerns and ensured they were addressed before i accepted the offer.

I. H.

The staff are amazingly helpful and very professional. They construct a well communicating bridge between employers and me and also tried to find the best contract for both of us. I am satisfied using their service and if I am unemployed, I will definitely use their services again.

B. W.

I was approached by Katie a few weeks ago and have already received employment. She was excellent help, she sent me jobs weekly and helped with preparing for interviews. Would recommend Katie and abacus to anyone who is looking for work.

S. M.

I dealt with Abacus whilst searching for a new QA engineer role. Specifically a gent named Colin McAlinden. I have to say, I wasn't expecting the level of professionalism and service I received. I've dealt with plenty of recruiters who've been very lacklustre, so Colin was a breath of fresh air. Good choice of skill appropriate roles were offered and his support in dealing with potential employers is honestly the best I've seen. Honestly cannot recommend these guys highly enough!

A. D.

I’ve recently secured a new role with Abacus, through Nicky. He provided me with this role, checked in regularly throughout the interview process and followed up to make sure if I had any questions. Nicky was attentive and friendly in his approach. I’d recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new job!

B. M.

Abacus provides a premium recruitment service with no cost to the applicant. Katie A. delivered a superb service with 360 support from pre-application through to final stage acceptance and hand off. Abacus' high standard of care was reinforced as an organisational trait with a follow up from Andrew H, guiding me through the next steps of the process. An organisation that demonstrates genuine care for its users through professionalism and transparency. Would recommend in the future to friends looking for potential career progression and would personally use again.... but hopefully not for a long time to come :)

A.

I was contacted about a possible job in my dream field by the team at Abacus in May. I was excited by the prospect but also nervous as I badly wanted to excel in the interview and get the job! Alan put my nerves at ease and walked me through every stage of the interview process providing invaluable support at every stage. I’m really grateful to Alan for all his help and advice about the firm, helping me secure the position. He is a great asset to Abacus.

R. S.

Great experience in my interactions with Amy and Alan. Both were friendly, professional, proactive and prompt to respond to any query. Thanks to both for their help in securing me a very exciting opportunity. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abacus to anyone looking for a career change.

L.

Katie from Abacus was fantastic in helping me find my new role! She was very professional and always made sure I was kept up to date during the process. Would highly recommend.

J. O.

A great team at abacus recruitment, both Amy and Alan have been wonderful in helping me secure a role within my desired sector. Their guidance and support every step of the way through the process was invaluable!

S. K.

I would certainly recommend Abacus . I dealt with Stuart John who was highly professional and extremely helpful. He was very reassuring and gave an excellent service throughout nothing was too much trouble and I found him very easy to chat with. I I would definitely use them again in the future.

M. E.

I had an amazing experience with Abacus. They are really attentive and helpful. Big thanks to Alan, for helping me secure my position. I would absolutely recommend Abacus to anyone looking for a job!

Ross is a fantastic asset to the company doing everything possible to facilitate a smooth application and interview. Very personable and articulate I would recommend him and the Abacus service to anyone. Thanks for all your help. S

A. D.

Would recommend Abacus to anyone looking to make a career move. Marc was helpful from the very first step and always there to answer any questions I had very quickly! Overall a great experience.

L. I.

Stuart at Abacus gave me the opportunity to kick start my legal career in a role that suited me perfectly close by to where I live. He is informative, patient and had prepared me more than enough for my interview. Would highly reccomend.

R. W.

My experience with Ross has been excellent, he works very hard to provide tailored opportunities and supports throughout the entire recruitment process. A real breath of fresh air with his honesty, responsiveness and drive.

C. S.

I was extremely impressed with the dealings I had with Abacus Careers, specifically with Justin who first picked up my CV and then Adam who found me a placement. Adam was thorough with his communications, always friendly and helpful and followed up several times after starting at my new position to see how I was settling. I had recently moved to the area and given the pandemic uncertainty, I was not expecting to land a role very quickly but Adam made this happen, for which I am incredibly grateful.

L. P.

Like many others, I was made redundant during the pandemic and I applied for a couple of positions that were advertised by Abacus. Leon contacted me and matched me with a job I hadn't even seen, but was perfect for me and my experience. It showed that she had actually taken time to read my CV whereas other agencies hadn't, and were putting me forward for jobs I was not qualified to do! Leon is very good at what she does, and I am absolutely loving my new role! Thank you Leon and Abacus :)

K. K.

Got a new job through Nicky at Abacus. Was prompt with replies and patient when mines weren't so good! Has kept in touch even after I've got the role. Would recommend going through Abacus if at all possible.

K. C.

After being made redundant from my previous employment at the height of the pandemic, I had the pleasure of meeting Leon remotely in July. She was friendly and very helpful. In addition to this she was so professional, and had me placed with my new employer within a few weeks, which has been a perfect fit. Leon truly is an asset to Abacus, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking new employment.

M. M.

Highly recommend, Colin was a great help throughout the whole process, made it easy for me and gave me all the information I needed

S. G.

As a job hunter, I know it can be difficult to find a recruiter who understands your experience and transferable skills and what kind of role you are seeking. I found Damian at Abacus to be really excellent, professional, engaging and respectful throughout the recruitment process - plus a got a job in a matter of weeks! Def recommend- imo so many bad recruitment firms out there who don’t appreciate how difficult job hunting can be for someone so really important to find a good firm to represent you!

C. M. N.

Fantastic experience throughout the whole process with Andrew. Always extremely attentive and willing to go above and beyond what I had expected. Constantly checking in with myself around the role and the interviews, as well as proactively touching base with the employer to check on progress. I would thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking a new job.

C. L.

Stuart John was fantastic to work with. He supported my career goals and aspirations and helped me through the interview process. I am very grateful to him and delighted with me new job!

M. K.

I have worked in the legal sector for the past four years, and unfortunately the firm which I worked for closed down. I began searching for a new or similar role and applied for a number of positions each through recruitment agencies. Once applying, either initial contact was made by the recruitment agent and no further communication or no-one replied at all despite numerous emails. I found the whole process and dealing with these particular recruitment agencies demoralising and frustrating. Thankfully Sara and Abacus were different. I applied for a role through a website and within a few hours Sara had made contact with me to go through my CV and give me options. She was very good at taking my opinions and what I wanted in a role into consideration and found a precise match to a job in a law firm which was perfect for me. She guided me though the possible interview scenario, give me as much details on the firm as possible and did her best to make sure I was prepared. She kept in contact with me and replied to my emails which made the whole process a lot easier. As a result, I was offered my first preference job and start shortly. An excellent experience and a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other recruitment agencies I had experiences with which made a difficult situation a lot more stressful and were off no help at all. Thank you to Abacus and Sara in particular!

R. M.

I have had a brilliant experience with Abacus. They are very responsive, accommodating and genuinely care about helping out clients! Sara Fisher is especially a credit to the team, she couldn't be more warm, friendly, assisting and relatable. Top class service!!

S. N. R.

Nicky Strutt was great, very professional and reassuring. Am starting a great new job tomorrow and its all thanks to him because I would never have gone for the job if Nicky had not approached me about it.

G. D.

Colin was a great help whilst I was looking for a new position and knew exactly what would be a great fit for me. Completely professional throughout the whole process and helped to prepare me for interviews.

A. F.

After many months of searching for a new role during the pandemic, I got in touch with Colin McAlinden at Abacus. He helped me find a great new role that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, Colin kept me well informed, helped to prepare me for every stage and was always available to answer questions and for support. He went above and beyond to help and I couldn't be happier with the outcome

A. “. R. M.

Having been handed a redundancy by my previous employer thanks to covid, I hadn't had to search for a job for over three years and found myself in a rather scary situation which was traversing the job market with rather little knowledge. I was dealing with Hana at Abacus and she made everything super easy and straight forward, Thanks to her and the team I am now employed and looking forward to a new challenge and learning experiences. Fingers crossed I don't need to look for another job, but if I do, I know where I'll be going to get help!

E. M.

I have worked closely with Colin in differing capacities for around a year now. In March he helped me find the job I am in currently. This was quite a task given we were on the brink of lockdown. Colin reassured me at all stages of the process and kept in continuous contact, listening to all my concerns whilst liaising with the company to ensure a smooth transition during all steps of the process. I am now working with Colin to find cutting edge talent within the tech sector to join our team. He is attentive at all times and has great understanding of what exactly I am looking for. He has recently been the driving force behind our 5 new starters within the team. Both personable and professional I couldn't recommend him enough to any one looking for a new role or any company on the search for talent.

D. R.

I dealt with Stuart John from the Belfast office and he was both very professional and courteous. Together we were able to find new employment for me in a fairly swift manner. I would recommend Stuart to any one who is looking for a legal role in the Belfast area. He is fantastic at what he does.

M.

Catherine was very kind and very helpful. She assisted me in every step of the way from the day I applied to my first day at work. She gave me useful tips and helped me to prepare for my interview. Thank you again Catherine for your kindness and your professionalism.

S. W.

Colin is by far one of the best Recruitment Manager's in the market right now. Incredibly talented, never misses a follow up call and a genuine pleasure to work with. It’s without hesitation that I recommend Colin if you are looking for the best Recruiter in the market or seeking a new role. Get in touch with him right now!!!

P.

Have zero complaints about my experience. In fact I really appreciate the support and freindliness I received throughout my time interacting with Abacus. If I only had 3 words to describe my experience it would be, Friendly, Positive and Helpful.

J. L.

I cannot recommend Colin highly enough, as a recruitment consultant. I had been in the same company for over 14 years and was very rusty as a candidate, Colin contacted me to discuss a potential roles but first he took time to talk and get to know me and my background, Colin worked with me to match a number of job roles and organise interviews, I learned from each experience as Colin always followed up and ensured there was helpful feedback. With support and preparation coaching Colin has helped me land a fantastic new role. As a candidate I would not hesitate to recommend Colin and as a manager Colin is exactly the type of recruitment agent that helps to find the right people to match the role you are looking to fill.

A. G.

I’ve found a few jobs with abacus now, most recently I was dealing with Nicky and I have to say he was extremely professional, personable and responsive, it was very obvious that he knew what he was talking about and had a wealth of experience. I would definitlely recommend Abacus to any employer or employee looking for a new role.

L. G.

Within 24 hours of signing up to Abacus I had numerous confirmed interviews. I dealt exclusively with Hannah who went above and beyond. I'd definitely recommend Abacus to a friend or family member seeking work.

L. S.

Alex listened to my needs in a role & found me the perfect opportunity within my field whilst accommodating my need for flexibility. I would highly recommend Abacus as they are professional, friendly & an asset in developing my career!

m. b.

Thank you to Leon for find me and offering me a new work challenge that I adore! I will definitely recommend Leon for her positive attitude and commitment to excellence toward her client. If I need someday a new job I will definitely be contacting her.

B. L. G.

I was recently recruited by Leon for a new job, she has been really supportive and following every step of the process even after I accepted the possition. She is very profesional and helped me a lot with the paperwork and all the issues. She is very easy to reach and ready to help in every way she can

A. B.

At Abacus everyone has been so helpful in helping me to find my dream job. Catherine and Leon guided me through all the recruiting process making this experience smooth and easy. Thank you

G. L.

I used Abacas to find my second software development job just over 6 years ago and I was very happy with the move and the support provided by Abacas. I have returned to Abacas for my third job move, this time in cyber security, and they have delivered a great service again finding me a great job opportunity and providing solid advance. Thanks to Colin McAlinden and the Abacas team.

S. A.

I dealt with Abacus Recruitment as a freshly graduated student looking for a job in the field of accounting and for anyone in my position I would highly recommend Abacus. From the first day I spoke with Abacus I was impressed, they asked what it was I wanted from a job rather than trying to sell some of the jobs they knew of and went the extra mile to get me an interview for that position. Within a week and a half I had two job offers at a major accounting firm thanks to Abacus Recruitment. They are always contactable, very courteous and extremely professional with fantastic contacts to aid in your search for a job.

I. H.

Adam was very helpful in helping me secure my current role. He took on board my needs/wants and worked with the company to ensure we met at an agreeable position. Thanks!

H. M. E.

I 100000% recommend Leon McHugh. She really went the extra mile in terms of helping me apply for my dream job. We all know the recruitment process can be difficult but she built my confidence from the very beginning. I really appreciate her dedication - thank you so much Leon!

B. D.

I had the pleasure of working with Stuart John, Managing Director at Abacus, when I was looking to transfer firms. Stuart epitomises professionalism and, during turbulent and disrupted times (I worked with him in during the Covid-19 pandemic), was of great assistance with navigating the Belfast job market. Stuart spent significant time researching the market, sourcing suitable roles, and liaising on my behalf with firms, all whilst keeping me abreast of progress. Stuart's market-knowledge and relationship with various Firms makes him an invaluable asset to anyone interested in the job market. For anyone who is actively looking to move role/firm, or curious about capacity in the Belfast job market generally: I cannot recommend Abacus, and particularly Stuart, more highly.

g. m.

Pleasant and professional when dealing with Casey Thompson who helped me land a new role.

C. P. V.

I couldn’t recommend Leon enough. Leon successfully recruited me for a role I was hoping would happen for a couple of years. From a short conversation Leon kept me (the candidate) in mind, organised and communicated relevant information with total transparency and calm to ensure I was kept updated and able to concentrate on the pressing matters like interviewing! Leon is an absolute joy of a recruiter to partner with who never forgot the human side of the process. Leon made what had potential to be a stressful process completely hassle free always managing my expectations and never forgot what I was looking for in a career. Leon completely delivered for me and I will be eternally greatful #RecruiterQueen👑

C. W.

Catherine was great and helped me get a great job! Always there if I had a question or needed any help would highly recommend letting Abacus help you find the dream job

D. M.

Leon was a lovely, down to earth, but very professional. She replied to my calls and answered emails outside of normal working hours. I am now starting a new journey with a lovely company.

P. P.

Amy from the Belfast office was essential in helping me secure my new role. Amy's guidance was really beneficial and her approach really worked for me. I couldnt recommend Amy or Abacus enough!

Z. 1.

I dealt with both Amy and Alan. Both were really professional and offered so much support. Would Highly recommend anyone looking to get into the legal sector and or progress their career choose to deal with this team!

C. C.

Colin contacted me straight away after applying for a role. He was very helpful through every stage of the interview process. Very approachable and friendly. Highly recommend him!

L. C.

I used Abacus when moving jobs recently, and from the initial call after seeing their advert regarding the role to the completion when I accepted the job offer I found their service to be exemplary. I would strongly encourage anyone seeking new roles to check in with them first. I found the whole experience painless, professional, quick and above all, honest and fair. Great stuff!

N. A.

Alan and Amy gave me a wealth of support and encouragement. I always knew what was happening and what stage my application was at. I also received phonecalls to settle my nerves before and after interview, which I really appreciated.

J. M.

I cannot thank Abacus careers, especially Colin McAlinden for their help and support whilst I was searching and landing gmy graduate job. Colin really went above and beyond in helping me prepare for each stage of the application process. I can honestly say without his daily support and guidance I would not have had the confidence I did in each interview stage. Thank you all so much for you help!

A. N. C.

Been working with Abacus for a number of years now Leon has been fantastic, she has placed me in my past 3 positions, the last 2 during a pandemic which is no easy feat I have now been hired with a company that is absolutely fantastic and could not have found a better fit for me Highly recommend 5*

S. H.

Colin was excellent in sorting me out with a job. Was in close contact at every step of the process and effectively communicated my desires to the employer.

Colin was extremely helpful and friendly, he was very welcoming and made the whole interview process less stressful and gave great advice throughout. Would highly recommend him to any others!

H. H.

Just want to say that Hanna does an absolutely fantastic job, she has worked tirelessly to get me a PA role, in what has been a very challenging year in the job market. I really appreciate her dedication and professionalism. 10/10 Hanna. Thanks for all your hard work. Helena

I dealt with Siobhan at Abacus and she was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional and also gave honest responses which I really respected. Out of all the recruiters I dealt with Siobhan definitely was a head above a the rest. Siobhan has been in the industry a while and her knowledge in the financial services industry shined through and overall deserves a 5 star review!
