Reviews of Platinum Recruitment Consultancy - Hospitality Specialist

Zandra has been amazing in securing me a Job that I really wanted. She is incredibly professional with the amount of help & explanation of everything from start to finish. She is also very friendly making the communication really easy as well. I’ve never used a recruitment agency before and I will definitely be recommending people to use Platinum in the future.

J. W.

Exceptional experience working with platinum the team have been amazing but Tom leech in particular has gone over and above the call of duty in making sure that there's plenty of work available. Working tirelessly and communicating everything we need to know as efficiently as possible. And I'm grateful for his continued efforts 🙏🏻

I recently registered with Platinum Recruitment and they were absolutely amazing. Immediately contacted by Kendal Swanepoel and was placed within a week. I would highly recommend them as they have amazing communication with their who they deal with 110% recommend

I have just started working for Platinum and I have found them to very professional in the recruitment process, secured me an excellent position in Guernsey. Rob Cotton in Bournemouth has been very supportive and very professional approach in the whole process and I am looking forward to a long term relationship with Platinum going forward. I would recommend them so far as an employer.

J. W.

To be honest I’m not very good at writing reviews so here goes. I have worked with Tom, Andy, Rob and not forgetting Jo and Matt. I have only been with Platinum for just under a year but in that year I have worked from Poole to Cheltenham. I have enjoyed most jobs but nothing in life is perfect and what I chose not to do again someone else may love. The flexibility of working for an agency is great as you can chose when and what you do. Yes there are quiet times but then there’s busy times too. I would recommend Platinum as a client and an employee for all front and back of house needs. Jenni x

Have been working with Platinum for 6 years now and they always keep me busy!!! They always give me a job to suit my abilities and capacity as a chef. They have always been there for me, listen to me and very understanding. The team at Bournemouth is top class and very professional. From my personal experience, Platinum Recruitment is one of the best in the country and have been a chef for the last 40 years. Thank you to the team.

After working with Platinum across 2 years, well, they've been the best company I've ever worked for. Working in Front Of House can be tricky, however they make it a joy for places I'm posted to. I've worked with other people employed by Platinum in Front Of House and everyone who works for them are very professional and knew exactly what they were doing, and had great personalities. #MadeFriendsForLife As for Platinum, are incredibly supportive, kept in regular contact and were always there if needed. I've never had any issues with working for them and they always have been incredibly generous, understanding and caring to any special requests, holidays and queries I've had. I highly recommend them as employers Victoria, my lead contact at platinum, has always been supportive, both in my working life and personal life, professional and well, frankly hilarious and awesome to deal with, not only is she a credit to Platinum, but to all recruitment agencies. Charlotte, Daniela, Haidee, Lewis, Karen, everyone I've dealt with at Platinum are such a joy to talk to, I always have a laugh, and it feels more like dealing with family than dealing with employers, while maintaining a totally respectful and professional relationship. 5 star employers all round and I highly recommend. Thanks for all your hard work, Platinum, keep it up. 👌💪

C. C.

Having worked with Platinum for at least 7 years now, I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a varied and flexible career in Temp work, and believe that the perm section would be as good. They are prompt payers, Karen, Victoria, Haidee, Charlotte and Dani have all been so wonderful to me over that time, and they will help with any queries or concerns. Thanks to Platinum Recruitment, I have been able to see so much of the country, from city centres to really out-of-the-way places, from huge corporate hotels to small and intimate "inns", and the range of experience and knowledge that I have gained in this time is invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending Platinum Recruitment to all in the Tourism Sector. Thanks for many great years, Guys, all the best!! Craig

I've worked for Platinum Recruitment since 2013 and I can truly say they've been great. As a student of Bournemouth University, I've had to balance heavy workloads with trying to earn money to cover essentials such as rent and bills which student finance does not cover. Platinum Recruitment has been my saviour here. With very flexible hours and incredibly friendly staff whom I'm in contact with weekly, we've kept a great relationship over the years. A well recommended company!

D. K.

Platinum is pretty much a life saver. Whenever I need help with a job I know I can count on them. I have worked for Platinum for a few years now and the team there is really professional and friendly. Even the jobs they offer sometimes don't feel like work because they are in such a beautiful settings or it's just an interesting event like horse raising in Cheltenham, wedding or boxing match. I highly recommend this agency to anyone who is looking for a flexible job or wants to hire staff. Thank you team Platinum!

A. K.

I have worked for platinum for approximately 2 years now and I can confidently say its been a pleasure. I am a design student in Bournemouth in a highly demanding course which doesn't leave me allot of time to do anything else but work, but a man needs to earn money to get by. I heard about platinum from a friend who recommended them to me as they knew I needed a job that was flexible enough to juggle with my university work, they were perfect. I tell the friendly and polite recruitment team each week when I'm available to work over the phone and then I do my shift, It's as easy as that and I'm very happy to work for them. I have recommended them to plenty of friends who now work for them and are all as committed as I am.

D. P.

I have worked for Platinum Recruitment over the past eight months. I can not recommend them enough for the professionalism and consideration they have shown me when placing me on assignment. The whole team especially Andy Middleton has taken the time to study my skill set and listen to any feedback I have had. The whole experience has been very enjoyable.

S. S.

Worked with platinum for 2 years and has been a consistent pleasurable experience , they are highly professional and responsive . Through platinum I’ve been lucky to work in some amazing places , I can’t recommend them enough . Top recruitment agency In The UK no doubt !!! Thankyou !

I have been working for Platinum Recruitment on and off over the last couple of years, and have seen them grow and evolve as an agency. In general I enjoy working for the agency, I receive shifts regularly (although you do need to call regularly to ask for shifts) and enjoy working at most of their locations. If there is a location I do not particularly enjoy I do not need to go back. Working with the flexibility of the agency has been perfect alongside my studies. Staff are always friendly, very helpful and they are always contactable - especially Andy, Rob and Tom Leech. There is a minimum shift time of 4 hours, which is great for an agency as it ensures clients cannot send you home without paying you at least 4 hours.

P. A.

I cover holidays and love the locations of the hotels I get sent too, its a pity the pandemic hit , as they would be very busy all year round. Do you want regular work, are you a chef or specialise in customer facing roles, then send your cv, sign up and be ready for a great weekly paid career. Beautiful locations, beautiful hotels, great jobs. Thank you Platinum.

R. C.

Zandra has been fantastic in helping me to secure a great job. From the beginning she has been incredibly professional, supportive and very responsive.

I believe I am more than 10 years of part of Platinum Recruitment. I have never had any issues to change my assignments, I never had to wait more than weeks for the new ones, even if I desperately wanted to change, as something went wrong with my accommodation. Anytime without problem I could go for Holiday when I wanted as long how I needed. When I arrived back, always had a new assignment. As my 10 years with them, I traveled all over UK, leaved in most famous holiday placed. Hardly recommend them, especially Karen, Haidee, Victoria, Andy, and actually all of them in the Agency.

C. L.

I started working for Platinum nearly four years ago. I had various shifts across the area, most of the times with other Platinum colleagues. Staff is always helpful, friendly and professional, prompt answering the phone or messages. I recommend them to anyone who will like a part or full time job in hospitality industry, they have a variety of shifts suitable to everybody. And of course, they are the best ;)

N. L.

I started working with Platinum 3 years ago and since then I've been working in several locations around the area, meeting lovely people and even making friends. I enjoy working with them as I can control my free time and they have been providing me with good shifts. Everyone in the office is kind, especially Andy, whom I'm thankful for always taking care of me.

C. M.

I would thoroughly recommend Platinum Recruitment to anyone. They have kept me very busy over the past 8 months and I have really enjoyed the work that they have found for me. The recruitment team are always extremely friendly, helpful, considerate and professional and I feel very lucky to have found such a great company to work with. Thank you Platinum!

A. K.

Been working with Platinum Recruitment on a part time basis since November. The recruitment team are really lovely and polite, including the receptionists. I've worked in a variety of locations, including Bournemouth Airport, the Bournemouth International Centre and AFC Bournemouth. There is a lot of flexibility working for the agency, which is perfect for me being a final year student! You can pick and choose your shifts, making it easy with a busy schedule :)

G. R.

As an ex-catering & hospitality manager who still enjoys two or three days of work a week, Platinum fill my need admirably, finding suitable roles for my extensive experience with the best rates and variety of roles to keep life really interesting. My contacts in both the Bournemouth and Southampton offices are friendly, considerate and very professional in finding me an eclectic mix of quality temporary positions, where I can encourage and support their younger team members in achieving consistent client satisfaction.

A. H.

I have been working with platinum for a while now and I have to say they are amazing. Karen is always such a pleasure to talk to., she is passionate about finding me the right team for the business and is always checking in to ensure things remain strong. I can't recommend platinum enough. Having worked with other agencies in the past I always find myself coming back to the one who consistently performs. Thankyou so much.

J. G.

I have worked with Platinum, and specifically Tom Leech, for many years and have always found their commitment and professionalism to be of the highest calibre. Tom's drive to find the best candidates for any role I am recruiting for, rather than simply trying to fill a vacancy with whomever he can, has always stood out. The time and effort spent in understanding what I am looking for, and the post-recruitment stages of ensuring that both the candidate and myself are happy, have always been appreciated, and I would recommend Tom and Platinum for any recruitment needs.

V. S.

I have been working for Platinum for over three years so far it has been very positive. Very friendly, professional and helpful staff. Always have time to listen and offer assistance. Since I have been working not once I had an issue that could not resolved in a timely and productive manner. I very highly recommend this place and also all the members of staff. They are brilliant.

P. F.

I have been using Platinum for many years at the football club and they always deliver on their promises. The quality of candidates they send for either temp or perm work is always on point with what I've requested. Their staff always go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.

J. S.

Would like to say a massive thanks to Rob and Platinum for getting my dream job. He was very attentive and kept the contact to a tee. Even laughed a lot on the phone it was a pleasure speaking with him about other things in day to day life other than the job search. Now I look forward to a fantastic well payed position in the beautiful island of Jersey. I thank Rob for everything he has done, it was a pleasure dealing with you. I am very happy man. Best wishes.

My experience with Platinum Recruitment has been great! I must thank everyone at Platinum for their help, support and professionalism. If you're looking for a recruitment agency I can definitely recommend them. I have tried getting temp and full time positions with other agencies but truth is that no other comes even close.

P. A.

If you want to work for a temp agency, these are the people to go to. The clients are always good places in nice locations. The work is regular as it's always in demand, the staff are great to talk to and always so supportive and care about you even when a temp. They pay on time each week ( never failed to pay me yet) I love these guys and wouldn't hesitate to recomend them. Look after the agency and clients and platinum look after you.....win win every time.

A. V.

I have been working with Platinum for over 3 years now. I think it is one of the best and most professional recruitment agency in the area. I have worked with other agencies as well, but Platinum staff has always been the most knowledgeable, trusted, high standard experts and specialists in their field. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Alius

N. S.

By far, the best recruitment company I have worked for. The consultants are always very helpful and friendly with a professional approach. They are punctual in sending the payslips which makes it easy to plan your spendings ahead. I'm utterly satisfied with my flexible hours as it doesn't interfere with my studies. Working in various events around Dorset allowed me to make amazing friendships and develop a variety of skills. I highly recommend their services!

Its easy to say "i will do it ".........yes, sorted , its all good , everything is fine etc etc etc .......... Most recruitment companies ( especially for catering /hospitality) say and promise this , but fail at the first hurdle : unreliable chefs , unhappy waiting staff , impatient and rude bar staff , and staff that just do not damn well turn up !! Platinum Recruitment Consultancy Ltd employ none of the above . As a Food and Beverage Manager for one of the fastest growing and most highly respected outside catering companies in the UK , i cannot fault the quality of staff that Platinum have always provided me with . Over the last 3 years I have dealt with THE-( as in THE BEST -) Senior Recruitment Consultant - a smart , unendingly hard working and wonderfully proactive woman called Jo Kernan . She ROCKS - I cannot imagine running my operation without knowing that i have her and all the the resources that Platinum can offer. I turn to her when i require great chefs who will turn up , do the job , work hard , get paid well , and be re-employed by my company - because they are so good . I have been in the hospitality trade for over 25 years - my current company will turnover more than £1.6 million this year . If you need chefs , talk to Platinum , and more specifically , Jo Kernan . I cannot praise Platinum enough . Greg Noble Head of Food and Beverage I Do Festivals , 5 Kiln Acre Business Park , Wickham Road , Fareham , Hampshire , P0167JS

I have worked in various front office roles/assignments with Platinum for over 4 years now and really enjoy it, the team Karen, Haidee, Victoria, Charlotte and others are always so friendly and helpful and often call up to see how you are getting on, overall great agency to work for.

R. S.

Very professional, I had a unique situation and they were very understanding and helpful. Extremely good communication regarding placements and interviews with potential new Jobs. Highly recommended, looking for the right job is hard and Platinum made it extremely easy and stress free.

Andy Middleton and Platinum Recruitment have helped me on several occasions over the past few years. They provided me with short-term contracts and casual work whilst I looked for full-time roles. I will always be appreciative of their help and support during some difficult and financially challenging periods.

G. N.

I've worked with and for Platinum for 2 years . They ROCK ! All the staff, especially Jo Kernan and Tom Leach are highly skilled dedicated recruitment agents for whom nothing is too much . It is my huge pleasure to rate Platinum as highly as possible I wish them on going and continued success . Greg Noble

Have been working for them as a relief receptionists for nearly two years now. The ladies in the office are amazing and always there to help. They’re also incredible understanding when things go wrong and get things sorted in a flash. They find me work all year round, a great and very dependable company to work for.

R. B.

I would like to take this opportunity to write a review about this amazing agency , in fact the people working there. From the day I applied for the job , Rebecca contacted me to arrange an interview with the Company . It was only 30 minutes when she called me that the interview was arranged. I was trilled. I can't miss saying that she constantly sent me good luck emails before each interview and called me after for a feedback and followed up with the Company. It takes experience and passion to deliver 5 stars customer service and Rebecca has it all. I will always be grateful to her and most definitely will recommend this agency. Thank you!

T. C.

I've been working for platinum for more than a year now and it is the perfect opportunity for anyone who cannot commit to a full time job. They are always friendly and understanding and help you solve any issue or problem that might occur.

M. M.

I have used agencies in the past but they were not anywhere close to the professionalism of Platinum recruitment.Plymouth and especially Alistair Crawford .It took him one day to finalise and seal the job...I am still a member of Euro toq panel of chefs and author of the crooked chef book ,in all the years i never came cross such vibrant,focused , and attention to details recruiter than Alistair.I would highly recommend him to any chef of any level if they want the right direction finding the right job. Mario Moreli

I have been using Rob cotton at platinum since 2012 for all my recruitment needs. He has always found me the right candidate with the skills I'm looking for. Always professional and a pleasure to deal with, I don't use anyone else.

R. G.

I've worked for Platinum Recruitments, on and off, for three years with them as my only employer and they've been by far the best and fairest employment I've had. The hours are always available, they're in your corner and who doesn't love the privilege of being asked 'if' they can work.

S. Z.

Overall great company to work for. The staff are really friendly and always willing to help, perfect job for flexibility, especially if you're a student! A varied types of jobs are offered, meaning you get the chance to meet new people and do different things, overall would definitely recommend.

Really good company with plenty of good people working here! I work very frequently for Platinum and have never had any issues with any of the staff over the phone or in person! Would highly recommend being employed by Platinum :)

M. M.

I've worked for platinum a couple if years ago now. Very helpful and professional. Wages always paid on time. Was actually looking to contact them again for work. That's how I ended up here. The lady I spoke to a few years ago was named Jo. Can anyone help?

L. R.

Platinum (in particular Jo Beck) have been a great help to me over the last 18 months for finding chefs. Not just with agency staff with placing permanent staff also. Thank you

C. A.

I would like to thank you for helping me along this journey of finding new employment. Your services are truly appreciated. Special thanks to Jon Lustig, who have been really helpful, not to mention how quickly he found me a suitable venue to work at.
