Reviews of Lighthouse Personnel Ltd

N. K.

I have had experiences with recruitment agencies before and have all been horrible. But Lighthouse was totally different. Amazing, professional service. So friendly and efficient. Sam was incredible. He found me a fantastic job, worked between myself and employer. He was incredibly supportive , very knowledgeable and what more can I say but thank you Sam and all at Lighthouse. Would recommend to anyone.

V. A.

I would highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel as a recruitment company. Gerard provided great support throughout the whole recruitment process, offering great advice and knowledge. He’s really committed to helping you find the right role with the right company, and he provides guidance and feedback to ensure a smooth recruitment process. Excellent service!

K. H.

Having had an unprofessional experience with a recruitment agency in the past, I didn't have a high opinion of them however this is not the case with Lighthouse. I cannot fault the service and support I received from Gerard. His communication is excellent; he was always on hand for any queries I had and made contact after every step of the recruitment process. I don't think I would be in my new role if it wasn't for Lighthouse!

E. K.

Gerard's tips and suggestions on building a smart and professional resume were highly insightful. He offered very constructive feedback on my CV, and I found his remarks to be helpful, creative and to the point. I couldn’t recommend Gerard and the Lighthouse Personnel team enough in providing genuinely helpful advice and guidance -- thank you!

M. W.

I could not recommend Lighthouse Personnel Ltd more highly. Gerard has been very professional and supportive throughout the whole recruitment process. I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism,  full support, for believing in me and for providing such a positive experience in starting a new chapter in my professional career. Thank you Lighthouse for your great support.

Having struggled to find a quality candidate with large recruiters, Lighthouse Personnel were a breath of fresh air. They made the process very straightforward and we found a fantastic candidate after our first round of interviews. We would highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel to any business looking for new staff.

H. S.

Huge thanks to Gerard for all his support. He was really responsive, proactive and most importantly, honest. He managed my expectations from the outset in a positive but frank way, which I really appreciated and am sure other job seekers will too. Would very much recommend Lighthouse!

I. C.

Gerard recently donated some time to me to offer some help, support and advice while I am searching for new opportunities, all for no personal gain. He clearly was an expert in his field, helping me with up-to-date hints and tips to make my applications stand out. it as a pleasure to hear his insights and I'm extremely grateful for the time he invested in me.

A. H.

I have had a fantastic experience with Lighthouse Personnel. Gerard has been brilliant from the start, professional, friendly and honest.

B. (.

I recently successfully applied for a job through Lighthouse Personnel. Gerard handled the whole process. He took the time to discuss in detail what it was that I wanted from my next role. It was clear from this that he was both trying to find the best candidates for his client whilst ensuring the role was the right fit for me as well. Gerard kept me continually updated throughout. My new role has meant that I have also worked with Lighthouse Personnel to support recruitment at my new organisation, so I have had the opportunity to work with them from an employer's perspective as well. Having seen their work from both sides and meeting other members of the Lighthouse Personnel team since, it is clear they really care about their work and I have no hesitation in recommending them to either job-seekers or employers.

T. M.

Throughout the whole recruitment process, Gerard has been incredibly helpful when it came to finding the right career/job for me. He was professional, friendly, offered great advice and knowledge. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel.

D. W.

What a company ! Gerard was able to get me a brilliant job for my asking wage (which was more then stated). I was originally only casually looking to see what was about when out of the blue I received an email with an amazing job. He was able to re-create a outstanding job relevent CV by asking me some simple questions and was quick to communicate between myself and the employer. Would definitely recommend using Lighthouse Personnel if anyone is looking for a job

A. 9.

Gerard was professional from the first instance when he reached out to me for an opportunity. He kept me well informed and he was clear with all requirements along the journey. He is committed and passionate and puts you first!

T. C.

My experience with Lighthouse has been quite exceptional. Gerard is incredibly intuitive and after only a couple of chats knew exactly where and what would suit me; he doesn’t waste your time or his clients time by putting people forward based on volume. Instead he focuses on quality over quantity and gets the right match for both employee and employer. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Lighthouse Personnel.

G. C.

Sam was incredibly professional and helpful during the whole process, could not recommend him enough. He was always happy and quick to help me with any question I had.

G. K.

First Class experience, one of if not the best Agencies I have ever dealt with over the course of my career. Gerard took the time to find out about me, and find out what I was looking for, subsequently matched me to my Ideal job. Would highly recommend, excellent service.

M. W.

Lighthouse Personnel have been amazing, Gerard, Paddy, and Laura have all done their best to make sure I found employment where I wanted. It took a couple of job opportunities to get to a job but they never stopped trying until I found something. All lovely people that keep communication high so I always know what's going on. I have already recommended them to others as they were so brilliant with me. Thanks to them for everything!

A. F.

By far THE most proactive, helpful, knowledgable and understanding recruiter I have ever worked with! Gerard has an excellent approach in finding roles and relating them to my skill set. Lighthouse Personnel should certainly be your first port of call either as a candidate seeking a new challenge or as an employer looking for quality candidates. 10/10!

D. P. S.

Got contacted by Gerard about a web developer job and definitely recommend! He managed to get me a good position within 2 weeks. He was really friendly and felt authentic, kind of like an old friend sort f vibe. Always kept me updated during the process and made sure to check up on me after I started the job. Even if i would have been passed on from the job I applied iI'm sure he would have helped me out to find more positions in the web development field

M. R.

Gerard and the team at Lighthouse Personnel have been absolutely brilliant. Taking the time to find out and understand exactly what I was looking for and helping me review my CV to ensure that it promotes me properly they have been fantastic! I would highly recommend them if you're looking for new career opportunities!

L. S.

Massive thank you to Gerard! Lighthouse Personnel is unlike any other recruitment agency, so much more support throughout and from start to finish I could tell that he really does care. Couldn’t recommend enough!

D. M.

I can only recommend Lighthouse Personel! I've never felt so taken care of by a recruiter in my life. Gerard helped me through every step of the process and at the end I get hired even for a better position!

J. H.

I was approached by Gerard regarding a job he was recruiting for and although I wasn't the right fit for the job Gerard went out of his way to help rework my cv to help me in my job hunt. At this point I had been out of work for a few years and no one was willing to give me a chance until I received my reworked cv and since I have secured a career as a sales executive. The fact this company are willing to give up their time to help you even if you aren't a potential candidate says it all. I cannot stress enough that if you are looking for a job/career this is the place the go.

M.

I contacted the company during the lockdown period. Gerard was very kind and a super professional! He helped me with a curriculum review, giving me invaluable tips and reformatting the whole structure in order to make it more eye catchy. Now my curriculum is more personal and more pleasing to the eye. I recommend this company to everyone, from the newly graduated boy to the professional with several years of experience. Thank you very much again!

p. c.

Working with Gerard is so refreshing and I certainly would recommend him and his team to anyone that is looking to recruit new staff. His team is brilliant from start to finish.

C. S.

I really enjoyed my experience with Gerard at Light house , I have never worked with such a caring and compassionate recruiter , the process was seamless, Gerard was open and honest and offered support and guidance and was happy to go above and beyond throughout. I would hugely recommend him and lighthouse.

G. M.

I thoroughly recommend Lighthouse Personnel Ltd. I only wish I lived in their main catchment area to gain full benefit during my job search. Gerard is being so proactive during the pandemic. He has revamped my CV and it now looks very crisp and professional. Their website is very good too, clear and very user-friendly.

M. U.

Gerard is brilliant and couldn't recommend him more! He was really helpful and supportive through the whole application and interview process, and found me a new role within days of contacting me!

S. W.

Lighthouse Personnel contacted me on the same day after I applied to a role on Linkedin. Solid initial screening from them, they took an unexpected interest in my current situation. Provided me with loads of information about the company and future role. Always followed up promptly following email. Provided excellent feedback about your applications progress. Gerard, miracle worker, finding and placing me in an excellent role during a global pandemic.

J. E.

Gerard was excellent in securing me a position at a new firm. He reached out about the opportunity and now I’m happily settled in my new career. Could not have made the process more seamless and was very committed to making sure I was the right fit for the role.

M. B.

Gerard was helpful, thoughtful and delivered results that have helped get the staffing our charity needs!

S. S.

Highly recommend! Superb professional service with utterly dedicated staff that go above and beyond. The commitment to securing me the right job, with the right firm was second to none and the attention to detail at every stage has been faultless. Gérard has provided encouragement and great communication throughout the process and it's been an absolute pleasure working with him. Thank you again for all your support!

A. J.

Applying for a new job can be a stressful time for anyone, especially in the midst of a pandemic. However, the support the team at Lighthouse Personnel gave me went above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in recruitment. From the first phone call, all the way through to starting my new role they kept in touch to ensure I felt secure and understood each process I was going through. I couldn't recommend this company more. From businesses to applicants, they will go above and beyond to provide you with the best service. Thank you!

J. A.

I don't have a lot of love for recruitment agencies and try to avoid them. But the service that Lighthouse provided was next level! From start to finish, Gerard helped every step of the way. They offered advice and support for each of the interviews and put my nerves at ease when I had to do an assessment. Gerard also messaged me when I started my new job to see how I got on. I honestly don't think I would've gotten the job with out their help! Highly recommend!

K. F.

Thank you to Gerard and all at Lighthouse Personnel for your support and expertise with our recent recruitment requirement. Right from the start, Gerard was attentive, professional and communication was prompt and personal. I would highly recommend this company for recruitment requirements.

T. J.

Spoke with Gerard via Linkedin and he kindly offered to look through my CV for me. (FOC) and within a few days he had amended my CV and given me various tips to help with the job hunt. Highly recommend. Very efficient and communication was great. I will hopefully deal with Gerard and his company again soon.

M. S.

Very professional and extremely helpful. Gerard made the process very easy for me and found me a job very quickly. What stood out for me the most was that he was interested in finding me a job that suited my specific skills rather than any job available. Fantastic company.

L. S.

Amazing! From my first conversation, the encouragement, the genuine and sincere offer of their help, brilliant. If you want help finding your dream job, look no further guys it's right here. My dream job came true, I am so deliriously happy right now..can you tell? Seriously amazing company. To Gerard and all the team at Lighthouse a massive heartfelt thank you from me, Lesley

J.

Very good honest company and they keep you up to date with what is going on regularly. I'd recommand using them.

E. M.

Gerard has helped extensively with 'freshening up' my CV, and to give it a re-vamp. He went into every detail throughtout my CV, giving me tips and pointers, including re-writing where required. Coming from someone who looks at CVs day in day out, you know he will give you the best advice possible and the best advice I could've asked for.

S. P.

S. W.

It was a brilliant experience working with Gerard from start to finish. He reached out to me with a potential job I may be interested in. He worked quickly and efficiently to get me in for an interview and luckily all ended well.

J. R.

Very professional recruitment company, Gerard often contacted me to keep my updated with my future job role and gave plenty of resources to help me personally, strongly recommend.

B. P.

A somewhat belated review, owing to the fact that I have been getting stuck in with my fantastic new role. My experience with Lighthouse has been exceptional from start to finish. Gerard is one of a rare breed of genuinely kind people, taking an interest not just in my work experience but my situation and personality also. From a strictly business view he is easily the best recruiter I have dealt with, and I have dealt with many, providing outstanding service for his clients. From a personal perspective he was a delight to deal with, keeping me informed and supported throughout the process. I usually aim to leave some constructive criticism in positive reviews to provide balance, but on this occasion I simply cannot think of anything to improve. If you're looking for a recruiter who provides results, Gerard is your man.

c. c.

As an applicant, they have been thorough and detailed in every element. Helping through the process ensuring that we are not wasting his clients time, Incredible service and I will use again
