Reviews of 1st Choice Staff Recruitment
S. J.
The team are absolutely brilliant! They've looked after me so well - would highly recommend!
Danielle from the start was so helpful. I sent various agencies my CV on Sunday evening and by Monday morning they called me (and were the first to call) - talk about on the ball!
When I registered with the agency, everyone I met - in particular Danielle and Carly were so warm and made me feel at ease.
They got me an interview speedily and I'm now employed!!!
The after care is equally supportive - Jo and Seona have kept me updated with any queries re payslips and protocol. I can't fault you 1st Choice. Thank you for being an instrumental part in getting me into my new career and looking after me so well!

Emma at 1st Choice Recruitment has been incredible from start to finish on my journey into a new career path. From initial meeting she worked to understand exactly what I was looking for and how my current skill set would transfer to a new career. Her communication with myself and my potential employers was second to none, and I always knew exactly what stage we were at. Emma’s genuine, friendly demeanour and willingness to help me was so refreshing, it never felt like I was asking too many questions or being a burden.
I honestly cannot fault Emma and I am so grateful to her for helping me find my new position.

I have just been successful with my job interviews that i received from working with 1st choice recruitment and i can honestly say what an amazing experience i have had from start to finish with them. The team at 1st choice were very consistent with getting in touch with me about the interview and providing me lots of information and help when needed both through email and phone calls. The team at 1st choice were very friendly and welcoming and made me feel really at ease throughout the process. I would definitely recommend 1st choice to anyone looking to get back into work or change career they was very helpful.

I would highly recommend 1st Choice Employment Agency. I was made redundant from my previous company over 18 months ago and being a lady of a 'certain age', I was slightly nervous about getting back into the world of work. However, I was made to feel very welcome by Carly and Laura in the Milton Keynes branch and was reassured that they could match me to a role that would suit my needs due to my skills set and experience. This was just the confidence boost I needed and already they have an interview lined up for me :-)

Before coming across 1st Choice I was a bit hesitant about recruitment agencies.. From the moment they contacted me I felt comfortable and confident that they could help me! A big thank you to Emma who helped me secure a permanent position with a fabulous company, she and the team were all super helpful and friendly and I’m so appreciative. I would not hesitate to recommend 1st Choice to a friend or family member. ☺️

My review is in regards to the lovely Carmen Wicks. I have had such a fantastic experience working with Carmen. She has made me feel very confident when it came to prepping me for an interview and gave me some great tips. Carmen has been a wonderful support who is also very kind and friendly. She has made me feel at ease and is generally such a great delight to speak to. Thank you Carmen for all your help, you are amazing!

I have had the pleasure of working with Shelly and Emma at 1st Choice who have both been absolutely amazing! It's the first time I've signed up with an employment agency, they matched me up with roles and arranged the interviews making the whole job hunting process so much easier! In less than a month I've secured a new job and can't wait to get started. Thanks you so much, you've been fantastic 🤗

I went to 1st Choice due to their impressive reviews on line and they have exceeded my expectations, they’ve been brilliant!
All of the contacts I have spoken to, Claire initially, then Laura, Carly and Jo, have all been professional, approachable and friendly, efficient, hardworking and caring!
They have been invested in me, helped me find a job quickly and have been genuinely pleased with my success, I would without a doubt recommend anyone to go to 1st Choice, to help them find a job match!
S. P.
Carmen was absolutely amazing. The best recruiter I've dealt with. Really cared about the candidate throughout the process and maintained regular contact to make sure everything was going well and offer help if needed. Even after offer, stayed in touch to check in. Thanks so much Carmen, I can't thank you enough!

I would highly recommend 1st Choice Employment Agency. I was made redundant from my previous company during the first lockdown and knowing how hard it was finding work. However, I was made to feel very welcome by Carly in the Milton Keynes branch and was reassured that they could match me to a role that would suit my needs due to my skills set and experience. Struggling to find work in the last 2 years I have had a few jobs already.
A. C.
I’ve found a great job with the help of Carmen. She was very friendly and helpful with any questions I had. She kept me informed at all times and spoke to me before my interview to check if I had any queries or needed any help preparing before I went. I would highly recommend (and already have to a friend) to use 1st Choice when looking for a new role.
S. S.
I had a fantastic experience with 1st Choice recruitment after Laura found my CV online and contacted me. Herself and Emma were both very professional, helpful and engaging. They assisted me with finding a role suitable to my experience and requirements within 1 week from initial contact.
Really pleased and grateful for all of their help. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a job and will return should I ever need assistance in future.
C. C.
I've recently been luck enough to receive a job offer via Seona at 1st choice. I can say that she has been hands down, the most supportive and friendly recruiter I've even dealt with.
Everything from her professionalism, kind demeanour and supportive approach has made me feel comfortable navigating one of life's more nerve racking transitions.
I would highly recommend colleagues and friends to 1st Choice if they are ever looking for a new position.
S. N.
The best recruitment agency I have ever worked with! Seona was extremely friendly and helpful from the beginning, Emma was incredible throughout to interview process and Carly has been really lovely and efficient with making sure I have all the information I need. Overall a really great experience and a brilliant team
D. A.
I just want to say a massive thanks to Clare for helping me in my search for a new job . I must admit when we first touched base, i was feeling pretty low and convinced myself I wouldn't get another job any time soon. I was desperately in need of a confidence boost , I got a much needed boost from Clare.
I've used 1st Choice in the past and I was well looked after, this is why I chose to re register after being contacted by Clare.
Should I need to use a recruitment agency again you will naturally be my 1st Choice !
Many thanks,
Debbie Alldis

Laura Ellis has been an amazing help in finding a new role for myself. Friendly, understanding and very helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Especially in such a short amount of time. Would highly recommend getting touch if you need some help finding a new career. Thank you so much.

I had a wonderful experience with 1st Choice recruitment. They are professional and they are accommodating to your needs and wants. Their confidence and ability to be professional helped me get into a long awaited role within a week of signing up. Not only they are fast and efficient they are also in constant communication with you for anything with paperwork, new roles, terms and conditions and even after they have secured a placement for your they are still looking after you.

I first joined 1st Choice in Feb 2020, they got me the job on my first interview, the staff there like Laura, Emma and Seona are very professional and supportive, helped me for interviews etc. Now I've got a permanent role through them, and very happy with everything. If you're looking for a new career, definitely will recommend to give them a call. Good luck.
J. O.
I have felt very welcomed after registering to 1st choice, Carly has made me feel very motivated to find a new and better job role and help better my cv and push myself for better. highly recommend if you're looking for a new start or a different job.
S. W.
Laura Ellis approached me after I had my CV out in the market and it was obvious she'd read it and understood what I was looking for in a workplace. She matched me with the perfect placement both in level of work I was looking to conduct and that our mutual requirements aligned. She was very responsive or gave clear communication about when I could reach her other times. The rest of the office staff are also friendly and helpful and have made sure starting my new role and then payment of wages has gone smoothly. 100% Recommend.
C. B.
I had a really good experience with 1st choice again!! I would highly recommend them. After I contacted with them Emma and Carmen done everything to find a suitable position for me. Few days later of the registration Emma called me with a really appealing opportunity. Within a day I got an interview appointment and then the job offer within the same day as one interview. I cannot thank enough Emma!!

Great company to deal with. The staff are always ready to help and follow up with feedback. I sincerely recommend them.
R. M.
I cannot thank Carmen enough for helping secure a new job and supporting me since I picked up the phone on day 1. It was so nice to have someone that was/is constantly positive and well and truly on your side. I honestly felt like I was talking to a really motivating friend.
If someone were to ask for a recruitment recommendation, I would honestly push them towards 1st Choice Staff Recruitment and especially towards Carmen.
Thank you so much again Carmen for helping me secure a job and really believe in me :)

Having just handed my notice into my employer, from a job I got from this agency and have now outgrown, I have just been offered a new job that Emma recommended. She was very professional and somehow knew what the perfect job would be for me...and she was correct! I was initially a bit put off by the critics of my cv but with Emma's advice I managed to improve it massively! She was very clear in her suggestions to me and I couldn't have done it without her help and involvement. I am so happy with this agency and will defo go again should I need to. 10/10 would recommend and I have done so for people I know.
L. C.
1st choice recruitment are amazing!! Emma helped me go into a new career I’m so grateful for her help! They communicate so well with you give you every single detail you need! Thankyou so much!
W. D.
I have shown interest in a few job vacancies online, but 1st Choice are the only company to actually contact me and ask relevant questions about the kind of role I was looking for. They have found several roles and have supported me through my application, including zoom meetings and follow up calls, they are supportive and very friendly and not pushy in any way. 5 Star service from Laura, Emma and the team I would highly recommend them.
C. B.
I met with Carly from 1st choice and she was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. I’m only just at the registration stage but she really but me ease and guided me seamlessly through the process and I am convinced that she will find suitable temping roles for me.
O. B.
I have had the most fantastic experience with 1st Choice Recruitment, after sitting down with one of their advisors Carmen, she had helped me secure a full time position within the space of just 4 days. Carmen is one of the most helpful and friendly ladies that i had the pleasure of meeting. I would 100% recommend 1st Choice to anyone who needs the help.
G. O.
I was contacted by Shelly at 1st Choice regarding a role she thought would be suitable for me. Both Shelly and Emma were very professional. Thank you so much. They have found me a great job that fits around me and my children and a lovely company to work for.
Would definitely recommend.
t. d.
Emma was a great help in securing me a role at Rightmove. She was very informative throughout the entire process and was providing great feedback. She is also helping me in securing a full time role through the temp role.
K. B.
Carmen was absolutely brilliant. She understood exactly what was important to me and found me a great job to match. I recommend her to everyone!
M. S.
My personal experience with 1st Choice has been extremely positive. I find all of the staff helpful friendly accomadeing and interested in me and they found me employment within a very short period of joining them . Highly recommend.
A. K.
I received an unbelievable amount of help from Carmen at 1st Choice Recruitment. I was unemployed for 1 month, applying for multiple jobs daily and not having any luck.. I spoke with Carmen and discussed my requirements and she arranged 2 interviews within 2 days. This resulted in a job offer within the same day as one interview! From first speaking with Carmen on Tuesday I'm now starting my job today (the following Monday). Can't thank you enough!
N. O.
I had a really good experience with 1st choice the staff were all really friendly Most of all Claire she worked really hard to find a position that would fit me.
M. K.
Emma was so helpful the minute I called 1st Choice. You can really tell she cares and goes out of her way to secure you an interview. I managed to secure a job in under a week including interviews and documents being sent thanks to her quick responses! Best recruitment agency I've worked with yet. Highly recommend all the staff are lovely but if you get to speak with Emma you're certainly in safe hands.
A. J.
Great experience using 1st choice - Shelly was very helpful and informative during the interview process. Would highly recommend.
C. G.
Lovely experience with both Emma and Carmen, they are very dedicated and caring about their candidates, always communicating and keeping me updated with new positions. They secured me an interview within a few days and offered me a call prior to the interview for advice and preparation and were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. Highly recommend
E. J.
I applied for a job that was through first choice recruitment and the process was so quick and easy. Emma sorted out the interview and meetings and gave me all the advice I needed to be successful in my application. A week later I had been offered the job and accepted! I started training and Emma continued to guide me through and ensure I was happy with the new role. Any concerns I had she brought up with the employer and these were resolved. It’s a better experience going through someone instead of straight to the employer. Then awkward topics like salary aren’t an issue to talk about because someone’s discussing it on your behalf. Can’t recommend enough!
I had been looking for a job for over a year and half and refused to sign up to a job agency because I didn’t see what they could do that I couldn’t. But I am 100% proved wrong, first choice is absolutely worth it.
S. C.
Leah has been so helpful, I cannot recommend her enough. From the first point of contact, she has remained consistent with communication and made sure I was fully prepared for my interview. Even upon accepting a job offer, she has continued her help and support and was happy to answer any questions or queries. I would really recommend this company to whoever is seeking employment.
C. L. C.
Shelly was very helpful in locating suitable job roles and informative throughout the process. Highly recommend.
H. D.
A massive thank you to the team at First Choice recruitment, especially Laura and Jo. Always super friendly and very efficient.
N. R. J.
Both Leah and Carmen were wonderful to work with! They kept me in the loop and even when Covid-19 effected the company's possible employment, they got back in touch as soon as the job role was available again. The zoom interview was quickly arranged and it was lovely to have that support from Carmen before and after. I was offered and accepted the ideal job and I can only thank 1st Choice Recruitment for all their hard work! I would highly recommend their services, thank you so much.
J. B.
Such an amazing recruitment, from my first appointment right to getting the job. I was contacted by Emma Mist, I have to say the level of customer service was exceptional. The prep I had for my interview went above and beyond, never been so prepared for an interview as much as I was. I was contacted everyday twice a day to ensure I was happy up to date and prepared. Never experienced the care I did in any other recruiter, she was caring understanding and so helpful. I highly recommend anyone here you will receive so much help and support from very friendly staff. A massive thank you for all your help and support!
A. S.
Highly recommend 1st Choice Staff Recruitment, they took the time to discuss potential roles with me, prepped me for my interview and followed up to see how my interview had gone. The staff are very friendly, professional and respond quickly to any queries.
S. M.
A really professional and friendly Team at Milton Keynes. Each stage of the process was made simple and effortless and I was always kept up-to-date with regular information. With their help, I secured a full-time permanent position really quickly and I recommend their services to everyone I know seeking employment.
D. K.
I would definitely recommend 1st Choice Recruitment Agency.
They made me feel welcomed , are professional and very supportive.
I would like to say thank you to Laura, Seona and Emma for being very informative and supporting me all the way.
You are all absolutely brilliant!!
R. W.
I cannot recommend Carmen Wicks highly enough. Carmen is extremely professional but very approachable. She kept me totally up to date with my recent job seeking experience. Firstly gaining an understanding of my needs, skills and personal values, then matching them with the right company. Carmen kept me up to date throughout the whole process, explaining each step, which was a huge relief as I had not searched for employment for several years. The outcome being a job offer with the right company for me... many thanks to Carmen and 1st Choice Staff Recruitment
K. O.
I have been out of work for nearly 2 years due to covid 19 and looking after my son. As time has come for my child to go nursery so has my time come for getting back to work. 1st choice recruitment have given me that spark of life that I never thought I would have, with plenty of work and professionalism that I have received on the phone.
Recommend talking to Natalie for registration and work, so polite recommended for any one in.
A. B.
Absolutely thrilled with the service that 1st Choice Staff Recruitment have provided. From the first moment I registered with Emma Mist, she has suggested the right job, helped me all the way through with the interview process and I have been able to successfully secure a job within 1 week of joining the agency! I can't thank her enough and would recommend this agency to anyone, who is looking for the right job.
A. m.
I can’t thank Carmen enough for helping me secure an amazing position! She really helped with interview tips and prep, and was so quick to update me with news after interviews. I had a telephone interview, followed by a face to face interview and got the job all within a week!
Thankyou sooo much Carmen and all at 1st Choice!!!x
R. C.
I just would like to thank Emma Mist at 1st Choice Staff Recruitment.
Within 1 week of making contact with Emma. She managed to arrange multiple zoom interviews with the employer, despite the fact
that I was not even in the uk at the time.
I can Highley recommend 1st Choice Staff Recruitment and Emma Mist.
Emma and first choice are highly professional and kept me up to date concistantley through out the process. Supporting me through the negotiations process and setting up all the meetings and making sure that I was comfortable.
Thanks for all the support 1st Choice recruitment and Emma Mist.

Absolutely amazing recruitment company! My consultant Carmen was so supportive and helpful, Could not fault her. Definitely recommend using this service. She has guided me to my next chapter in life and found me the perfect job to start my career :)
T. A.
Had such a good experience with 1st Choice!
I was first contacted by Emma, we met and discussed my job requirements she was so helpful and gave me some really good advise and tips to help with my CV.
I was put forward for a few jobs by Francesca, she was so friendly and kept in touch every step of the way!
Can’t recommend 1st choice enough, I have dealt with a few recruitment agencies and at times it can be frustrating feeling a bit like you are just another job opportunity. I never had that feeling with 1st choice they seemed to genuinely want me to find the right role! Thanks so much Ladies.
N.
Emma and the team at First Choice are by far the best recruiters I’ve come across! From the get go they truly did take the time to discuss my skillset in depth, listen to what I was looking for and matched me up to a great role in a culture that really suits me as a person. I was fully equipped to handle all stages of the interview process, was put at ease when needed and the communication throughout the business is first class. Couldn’t recommend them enough - they made the competitive and frustrating process of looking for new work a breeze!
K. Z.
What an excellent Recruitment Agency!
My challenge was that I was moving to MK from another city and urgently needed a job in a month's time for when I get there. I was also unable to make any interviews in person until November. A friend recommended 1st Choice.
From the very start my experience has been super positive with my initial email inquiries. I was speaking to Francesca and Emma mostly; The ladies have really listened to my challenge, confirmed all the necessary requirements and we began liaising very efficiently in search of the right opportunities. Through-out the month they have presented me with a wide choice of companies. Despite not being face-to-face with most of the employers (until the final few second-stage interviews), I was able to choose the right opportunity for me from the offers I got.
Personally, I feel the team in MK is phenomenal. I understand each agent has individual accounts to look after but calling the office with interview feedback I knew I could trust to give it to either one, regardless of whose account it was. The team has also made this a personal experience and it was really easy to speak with them. They retained professionalism and efficiency that you would expect from a great Recruitment Agency through-out.
A great first choice for me. Hope it can be for you too.
With a massive thanks to Carly, Laura, Emma and Francesca
L. J.
Leah has been absolutely amazing finding me temporary placements while I look for something more permanent. One of the placements where completely out of my comfort zone. But within a few days I had learnt a new skill that opened me up to more opportunities. So thank you first choice for getting me through this strange time and helping me find my feet again. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
P. F.
I can't praise Emma and her team highly enough. I signed with them 12 months ago and Emma found me a fantastic position within two days, even calling me on her day off to inform me I had got the job! Having just been made redundant from that position I chose to re sign with 1st Choice, once again Emma has been amazing. The help, support and encouragement she gives you really does make you feel you can achieve so much more, improving your interview skills and updating your CV, giving you the best chance of securing an ideal position. This really should be your 1st choice when looking to sign on with a recruitment agency, I would highly recommend them.
T. K.
I would highly recommend 1st Choice Recruitment to anyone looking for a new job. I suddenly found myself out of work and I was really struggling to get a new job. I went to other agencies first but nothing compared to 1st Choice. Everyone is so supportive and helpful. They really dedicate all their hard work to helping you. Always put alot of time and effort into finding a job for me. Francesca and Carmen have been particularly brilliant. Always had brilliant feedback and always getting in touch about job opportunities. I am so thankful to them for helping me find my new job
J. W.
I had a really positive experience with 1st choice dealing with Emma and Leah (MK Branch) in particular although they are all a friendly team. They didn’t just file my CV as other agencies have done but welcomed me into their office to discuss what I was looking for in a role/company. Leah was very positive and encouraging as job hunting can be a little soul destroying at times, particularly when you are making big changes in your life. She placed me in a full time temporary position within a week - amazing service!!
M. L.
I have had an excellent interview with Emma. I was pleasantly surprised and felt that I was just not quickly registered in a database, on the contrary Emma took her time with me to have a thorough understanding of my experiences and what I am looking for. She gave me some very good advice on how to write my CV, she really took the time to read it and to find the details which needed to be amended. Candidates need a recruitment agency's help as we can't know how recruiters read a CV and what they want to find on it. I have also noticed excellent tips attached to the wall in the candidates registration room about non-verbal communication and appearance during an interview. Very interesting and useful!!
A. K.
I had the pleasure of Leah texting me regarding a job that she felt was suitable for myself. Leah was lovely to talk to, very responsive and got things done so quickly I had a job offer only 2 days after her contacting me. There was no time I wouldn’t get a response from either an email or a text and she made sure I was fully prepared for my interview. Would highly recommend her, she is a lovely girl and an asset to 1st Choice recruitment MK.
E. M.
Responsive and reliable recruitment agency. Emma is so lovely and helpful. Made me feel at ease and fully prepared for an interview, which must have worked because today is my first day! Thank you!
C. L.
Francesca and Leah have been absolutely fantastic! I went to them when I left my previous position and Francesca got me straight in for a meeting and was absolutely amazing! She showed me all my strengths and helped me through all of the interviewing process. Leah actually found me the position I am currently in and she helped me ace my interview by prepping me before I went in! I honestly can’t praise them both enough! I absolutely love my job and that’s all thanks to them ☺️

I highly recommend 1st Choice Recruitment! I cannot praise Leah and Carmen (MK branch) enough for the fantastic service I have received so far. They really took their time to hear about me, my experience, what I'm looking for, etc. They made me feel very welcome and at ease. At the initial meeting I was shown roles that could be a good fit. You can tell that each candidate is important to them - and their positivity shines through!

I am having a great experience with 1st Choice Recruitment whilst on my journey to finding a new career! I would highly recommend them, especially Carmen, she has been so proactive in helping me find a job, sending me lots of different job roles that are so suited to what I am after, keeping in touch with me daily.

Laura has helped me secure a new job. Very impressed with the professional approach and attitude shown towards me. In addition a very positive and caring attitude towards me. Would highly recommend.

Emma did a great job at finding me a new job after being made redundant from my old one. Within a week of me being made redundant she had gotten me an interview. She checked in with me almost every day to make sure i was feeling okay about everything and she made sure that i had all the information i needed to feel comfortable walking into my new job role.
J. E.
I've had mixed experiences working with recruitment agencies, but 1st Choice Staff Recruitment is fantastic.
I had a great experience working with Emma Mist, who not only took the time to understand what I was looking for but also provided plenty of useful advice and guidance during the interview stages. Emma is also very proactive and kept me in the loop with regular updates.
Thank you so much for all of your help!
C. J.
Fantastic agency and super easy sign up. Emma listened to what i was looking for and had a role straight away she knew would be perfect for me. She supported me the whole way through the interview process giving me lots of advice and tips. With her support i managed to get the first job she put me forward for and i couldn't be happier in my new role. Highly recommend Emma and the team to anyone looking for their dream role!
Thank you so much Emma :)
J. C.
Carmen was really helpful throughout the ultimately successful process of applying for a position with her. Always kept me updated and before each interview sent over helpful information. Particularly the hits and tips for interviews, always good to have those reminders. Polite, helpful and always cheerful. Would use again no doubt. Thank you very much.
N. L.
Brilliant service. First Choice did all the initial contact and did not pressure or apply to jobs without consent. The actual experience once a role was selected for me to interview was wonderful. Emma who was assigned to me kept me in the loop on any updates and provided me with useful information. First Choice was dedicated to contact me throughout the whole process which made the experience of finding a job less stressful as someone was there for you throughout the whole process, they made me feel like they were really interested in helping me find a role with the personal care given, and they proved efficient in getting me a job, as within the week I was employed.
E. R.
I was contacted by Laura Ellis from 1st Choice staff recruitment, regarding a position. I am very grateful with her as she has been very supportive and professional in the recruitment process.
I would really recommend 1st Choice.
J. L.
Carmen is a legend. Applied for a role over the weekend and Monday morning Carmen contacted me about a role, she was professional, lovely and was on the ball. By the end of the day she had set me up for an interview and then contacted me today with the good news that I was successful. Quickest turn around all thanks to Carmen :-)
A. S.
The team are so helpful and kind, I especially had the pleasure of being registered by Carmen. I didn't feel like a number that was quickly registered and then sent on my way. She took the time to really get to know me and gave me great points so that I could update my CV. They really are a people focused recruitment agency and I'm so happy I'm registered with them!
L. L.
The best agency I have been with. Emma was so efficient and took the time to really understand the job I was looking for and listened to my needs. she managed to secure an interview within a few days and provided guidance and advice on the business and their requirements to ensure I was fully prepared for the interview. I would highly recommend!
L. P.
I wish I had originally signed up with 1st choice recruitment as they were by far the most efficient and the best! Carmen was amazing - we had a good long meeting to discuss my skill set and options available, she was in constant contact with me regarding job opportunities which resulted in an interview and offer only weeks later. What a great team and company.
H. F.
Emma has been brilliant right from the first time I contacted her via email. I have only been signed up for a week so I haven’t found the perfect role yet. However Emma has already helped me improve my cv, has prepped me for interviews and has just been great!
Would highly recommend Emma and first choice recruitment!
A. R.
Highly recommend 1st Choice Staff Recruitment, having registered with other agencies they are hands down the best I have visited. Emma was so knowledgeable, friendly and positive with lots of good advice on my job search. 1st Choice Recruitment provides a first class service and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
S. I.
As a job seeker, I found that 1st Choice provide a much more personal and supportive service than many other recruitment providers in the MK area.
I walked in with CV and passport, and was immediately greeted at reception and directed to a quiet room to fill in the usual forms.
I then had an informal meeting in a private office with a very knowledgeable and helpful consultant. We discussed various options and by the end of the meeting had decided on a course of action.
Within the week I had interviewed for and started a new role.
I would have no hesitation in recommending 1st Choice to employers and job seekers looking for a highly professional and supportive service.
m. g.
The best agency, the staff are great and the recruitment process is very professional. Carmen is one of the best, very friendly and she found my job in less than 1 week. She provided a superb interview prep, so I knew exactly what to expect on my big day. Highly recommended!
J. H.
Laura & Emma were both great with keeping me up to date and also helping me with interview tips, highly recommend going to 1st choice recruitment, thank you so much
M. F.
Dealing with 1st Choice was the most ideal situation I could ever wish for while looking for employment in the UK. Leah and Laura are absolutely amazing. They are highly professional, courteous and very swift in communication. It is an excellent agency and I would recommend it to anyone.
M. m.
I was with 1st Choice in Milton Keynes for 3 years,
i never had problem with my salary or holidays.
I always had a job , i never heard any complaints ,
i also remember that i was late for my interview, but they were super kind, even asked me if i wanted coffee or tea and since no one had offered me something to drink in an interview i was speechless.
It's a wonderful team, helpful and friendly.
Emma Mist was very helpful, she is a lovely lady.
I lived in the UK since 2008, i wish i had known 1st Choice since that time,
so i had not been enslaved, and had always received my salary.
I am very grateful to the 1st choice for the opportunity it had given to me .
A. N.
From the first time Francesca contacted me regarding my job search she was always very friendly, positive and helpful. With her help I secured a better engineering role within 3 weeks. I would recommend 1st Choice staff recruitment if you are in the search for a new role.
C. H.
1st Choice, a fantastic and friendly business.
From the moment I walked into their office I was welcomed and felt very comfortable.
Emma Mist was extremely friendly, positive and informative on possible positions. She only presented me with Job roles that was suitable to my abilities and experience.
Highly recommend.
M. S.
My experience with 1st Choice has been great! Leah in particular has been extremely helpful finding me a temporary role almost immediately. She's very warm and friendly which made me feel at ease, as job hunting is something I'm not 100% comfortable doing. Would definitely recommend this company.
H. N.
The team at 1st Choice are absolutely fantastic! My initial registration interview with Lorraine Faulkner really put me at ease and gave me the confidence boost I needed after having not worked in an office environment for many years. My working hours requirements were tricky, as is often the case with a parent trying to return to work and still fit around their children. Lorraine explained it might be a challenge but they would work hard for me. Sure enough, I have now secured a new position with the hours I need. Massive thank you to Emma Mist for supporting and encouraging me every step of the way and offering lots of tips and advice. Cannot recommend 1st Choice highly enough. 5, very well deserved, stars.
M. B.
Really pleased with how helpful 1st Choice was towards me.
I got back from travelling and I knew Emma before as she's my best friends sister-in law and she kindly messaged me if I needed help to find a job.
Very helpful and understanding towards my needs of work and even help with a way of amending my CV, as it hasn't been updated in 18 months due to traveling.
Very helpful team and always got phone calls and really reliable and good communication.
On top with emails as well...
Unfortunately I got a job from somewhere else, but I will still very greatful for Emma and also Lauran.
Awesome work 1st Choice.
I really appreciated your help at the time.
Thank you so much.
A. H.
I had the greatest experience with 1st choice. Outstanding. From start to finish my consultant Francesca Bolino was amazing and followed through my entire journey aiding me in looking for employment. Not only was she such a lovely person, she also put me as a priority in doing whatever she could to find me the best suited role for me which I am very thankful for! Without 1st choice help I don’t where I’d be, they listened to my needs and understood what I was looking for and we’re on hand with every aspect of journey, making sure I was equipped and comfortable. Highly recommend, my genuine appreciation for 1st choice and all the hard work they put into each individual client. I have had experience with other recruitment agency before however none compare to 1st choice excellent service for its customers.
J. A.
Very kind and professional. They have helped me so much in terms of finding me a job and giving me advice on interviews. I would highly recommend. Seona and Laura, thank you so much for your support.
T. D.
Leah was so helpful and responsive. She really gave me so much encouragement and contacted me immediately when things happened with my application. This is the best experience I have had with any job agency!!
C. S.
I have nothing but good things to say about these guys
I've had some woeful luck the last few months trying to find a new job however within 4 days 1st choice recruitment managed to sort me out
I can't thank both Leah and Vikki enough, who were both lovely and responsive, and put a personal touch on their work.
They also do something other agencies gave fallen short on which includes rapid responses, interview help and prep, and above all recommended an employer who I cannot wait to start for, who sold the job to me fantastically, and this speaks volumes that 1st choice will not just throw something inappropriate at you like I've had happen many a times the last few months
Thank you again guys, absolutely over the moon
R. V.
I'm very delighted for the opportunity to work with Emma from the 1st Choice Staff Recruitment. Excellent communication, attention to understand candidate goals and plenty of support through out the process. I would highly recommend this Agency for anyone who's seeking for a new role.
C. D.
I met with Leah only one week ago today to discuss potential job opportunities. During this meeting Leah was very helpful, positive and friendly. Since then she has organised an interview for me and I have been offered a job - which I have accepted! I am very pleased with the fantastic, efficient service and I really appreciated the regular updates. I would highly recommend 1st choice recruitment Milton Keynes.
A. H.
If you're searching for a job through an agency then this is the place to use! I've had 2 jobs through 1st Choice, and have always found the team to be proactive, friendly and personable. They spent time to get to know me to find the position that would suit me the best. 1st Choice stood apart from any other agency I approached in getting back to me promptly, spending time to speak to me about what I was looking for, and talking to me realistically about the roles they had on offer to put me forward for. Amazing team of people and highly recommended!!
D. M.
1st Choice Recruitment were fantastic in helping me find temporary full time work- within the space of two working daysI had secured a job. A special mention to Leah for working with me. She offered great support, advice, and made me feel very relaxed.

I felt right at home from the moment I walked into the offices of 1st Choice Recruitment in Milton Keynes. I was immediately greeted with a warm and professional welcome from Operations Manager Emma Mist.
Registration was a painless and smooth process.
Emma dedicated a great amount of time and took great care in discussing my experience and job requirements whilst offering guidance on how this should be reflected on to my CV.
I left 1st Choice Recruitment MK feeling confident that I was in good hands in the search for employment.
Thank you Emma for all your help.
L. C.
1st Choice recruitment provide a friendly yet professional environment for jobseekers, and unlike other recruitment agencies - from my experience with 1st Choice - they put their clients needs at the forefront. I dealt directly with Emma, and she is enthusiastic and hardworking. I would recommend 1st Choice over any other agency in Milton Keynes.
T. M.
I contacted 1st Choice after being put at risk of redundancy. The staff were supportive and understanding of the position I was in. At all times, they have kept me up to date with vacancies and worked really hard to match my skills with their clients requirements. I'm currently in a role that suits me down to the ground with a really well renowned Company and I could not be happier. 1st Choice may not be the biggest in Milton Keynes but big does not mean best ...... 1st Choice have been the best and I would not hesitate to recommend them 100%
D. F.
I would highly recommend 1st Choice Recruitment if you are looking to move jobs. I was contacted by Emma and she was very helpful and friendly through each step. I was kept up to date either by phone, email or text and was offered advice on interview techniques. They are hands down the best recruitment company I have dealt with.
G. S.
A big Thank you to First Choice, but particularly Ms Carmen for the amount of time and energy she dedicated in helping me reach as far as possible in the recruitment process for a recent advertised role.
Carmen was fantastic as she prepared me well, was very informative about the role, checked my CV to stand strong against other candidates and was always available for guidance. I always felt her support and contact her at anytime. I will high recommend First Choice agency, specially Carmen.
R. C.
I was contacted by Emma Mist through LinkedIn who had some suitable roles for me.
After meeting with Emma she put me forward for a couple of roles and after a week I was offered a job.
Emma really helped me to prepare for the interviews, she gave me lots of advice and if anyone is looking for a job, I seriously recommend 1st Choice.
M. C.
I went to 1st Choice recruitment and was met by 3 lovely ladies.
Carmen, Laura and Leah.
They listened to what I was looking for and was met by Leah whom advised of a job role of interest.
Monday I had interview and Tuesday happy to say got the job 😃
This agency has helped me big time and only took me days to get a job. Brilliant Agency and thanks again Girls!

C. T.
I have had such a positive experience completing temporary assignments for 1st Choice Recruitment. Leah and the rest of the team, have been very proactive in finding me work and throughout the registration process were extremely friendly and helpful. I will be sure to use this agency whenever I am looking for employment and look forward to working with Leah and her colleagues for the rest of the summer!
L. D.
Was contacted by Carmen with a job opportunity. She was very positive, inspiring and engaging. Before taking me through the opportunity she had found for me, we discussed my interests, strengths and ongoing goals.
Realising this was a good match for me, Carmen sent my information to the company and the process began. Throughout my two stage process with this company, Carmen was on hand to answer any question big or small. She sent useful information around the company supplying me with hints and tips if I was struggling.
Many thanks to Carman and the 1st Choice staff recruitment team for helping me secure my new job!
S. H.
I was contacted by 1st Choice Staff Recruitment regarding a position that they thought I would be interested in. They have been amazing and very supportive. I would highly recommend them to all as they are extremely professional and go the extra mile to help me secure a permanent position.
J. H.
Carmen, has been exceptional, her communication, advice and support during this difficult time has been exceptional. It is a shame that not all Employment Agency's are the same.
I hope I do not need to seek employment again, but if I do, Carmen will be the person I turn to, she honestly is a joy to work with and 100% professional.
Thank you.
J. W.
The team at 1st choice were brilliant from start to finish, Emma was very helpful, polite and supportive in helping me secure a job I feel sure I will love.
I would not hesitate is recommending that anyone put their trust in 1st choice to help them find the right position.
E. B.
The help provided by Emma whilst finding my first job was amazing- couldn’t recommend her or the team at 1st Choice more. I would recommend them highly; I instantly felt comfortable and confident around Emma, her support has been amazing.
B. Z.
Excellent recruitment service offered by Emma Mist. She went above and beyond to understand me as a candidate and took the time to try to know me as a person, and not just a placement. She was honest and upfront about all opportunities, and she didn't try to sugar coat the company to try to make it more appealing than it is, like other recruiters do. She's a great example of professionalism, and her and the team in MK should all be proud of their work and their service. 5* all round!
E. S.
I would like to say a massive thank you especially to Carmen who was amazing right from the off. Carmen responded to my interest in a role outside of office hours and kept me informed during the whole process right from submitting my application for a job to the end when I was offered the role. Carmen was very professional and knows how to match candidates to companies extremely well indeed. Thank you Carmen for getting me to the next chapter in my life I have a lot to thank you for.
A. J.
Emma saw me on a few hours notice and we had a long and fruitful discussion about my options going forward. She also helped me streamline and update my CV. 1st choice staff are all welcoming and friendly and are a brilliant choice for any jobseekers.
A. S.
First choice recruitment are the best recruitment agency in Milton Keynes! They really listen to what you are looking for, they give you regular updates on new jobs and everyone is really lovely and friendly. They are not like other recruitment agencies where they say come down to register and fill out a million application forms then you never hear from them again, this is certainly not the case for 1st choice recruitment and I really recommend Emma at 1st choice, she is amazing recruitment consultant and helped me get my perfect role!
H. F.
Thank you to Emma at 1st Choice recruitment, she was very professional and helpful. Emma took the time to provide great advice for my job search, following up with useful tips to ensure i make the right move !
E. B.
Great experience working with 1st Choice Staff Recruitment! Both agency workers Leah and Laura that have been managing my job application, have been very professional and very helpful. I have received a job offer within only a few days of making the application.
T. E.
Can not recommend 1st Choice Recruitment enough!!! Friendly and helpful, very professional. They will call when they say they will, email everything over to you, I have had a really positive experience using them. Have found my perfect job through them, with the help of Francesca, who has been an absolute star!! Would go straight back to then next time I am job hunting.
J. E.
I first visited First Choice two weeks ago today. I had a meeting with Hannah who had a position in mind for me before I arrived. The registration process was quick and easy and Hannah provided some really good feedback in relation to my CV which I took on board. I had an interview for the role that same week and the role confirmed to me today.
Could not have asked for a smoother process, thank you so much.
S. K.
The staff at this agency are very helpful with looking for work. Francesca gave me tips on how to improve my CV. I’m just about to start my temporary assignment at MML thanks to Leah. She helped me get this role and kept me updated throughout the whole process. All the other staff members I’ve encountered are nice and friendly people. Definitely a well recommended agency.
S. P.
Like to say a massive thank you to the 1st Choice team, the whole team are every welcoming and supportive, felt like I had known them for years. Emma especially put me at ease and made the whole process of finding a new job after such a long time less daunting. Cant recommend enough.

Amazing agency who managed to confirm a job for me within 6months of covid. Emma and Leah are a great team who bend over backwards to help you get a job!! Thank you so much for your help, time and patience to get me placed :) 5* all the way round
G. a. J. T.
Very friendly office. I dealt with Emma, who took time to learn about me & what I was looking for & was very positive and encouraging, which is what I needed after making the decision to leave the job I had been in for nearly 30 years! They don't push you into taking anything you are not interested in and are definitely looking to get you what you feel is right for you.
D.
What i liked most about 1st choice was my recruitment consultant took the time to listen to my experience and what i was looking for from my next role. The team were friendly and helpful, and i look forward to our continued working together. Anyone looking for a great recruitment agency this should be their 1st choice!!!
K. J.
If I’m being honest, I wasn’t so keen on working with recruitment companies until 1st Choice Staff Recruitment came into the picture. 1st Choice have completely turned that around for me and I have nothing but positive things to say about them, and in particular, Carmen. Carmen went above and beyond to help me land a fantastic role, even with the challenge of me being out of work for so long. She always kept me updated on my applications (even if it were just to say there was nothing yet to report back on) and gave me some great advice as a jobseeker. But perhaps more importantly than anything, Carmen was simply just a lovely human being and I really felt she cared about my future career. A huge, huge thank you to Carmen and the team!
H. W.
Leah and Laura were incredibly helpful in my job search and highly efficient in finding me a suitable role. With the information I gave them on the role I was searching for they were highly effective in devising a strategy to assist with me landing a job.
After doing work for agencies in the past I was sceptical, however they have changed my view on agencies and shown me that they do care.
Could not reccomend them enough.
Thanks!
N. S.
From sign up to employment, I have; been treated exceptionally, been able discuss future plans, been matched to a quality company with future prospects and had check ups from my consultant (Leah) who has been diligent from the jump.
I'm pleased and ultimately privileged to have been assigned by 1st choice and can say in honesty, you will be in good hands should you choose to explore your work/career prospects with them.
S. S.
1st choice have helped me return to work after an 8 year break being a full time mum. I only wanted temporary work and I am now on my 2nd job with them which will take me nicely through to the summer. The consultants are all really approachable, friendly and efficient. I can’t recommend 1st choice highly enough and I imagine I will be using them for the next few years until I decide to take up a permanent position!
A. D.
Really pleased that Laura and Leah were able to find me a position at a growing company in Milton Keynes. From the start of registering up with the agency and to the phone call to confirm I had been successful at the interview they were really helpful and provided me with assistance and information to help me prepare for the interview! Thanks :)
k.
A very professional team, able to answer every question quickly, great pre interview briefing and great follow up many thanks
C. M.
I have been a client of the Milton Keynes branch for the past 4 years and have always been very impressed with the professional service they provide. They ensure that they take the time to understand our Company and culture in order to find us the right candidates. Every CV that is sent comes with a detailed profile of that individual so you know they have met the candidate face to face.
I would not hesitate to recommend 1st Choice Recruitment to anyone whether they are looking for work or looking to recruit a new employee.
s. t.
Emma and Hannah were really helpful. They considered my individual needs and continued to put me forward for roles until I'm happy to say the right opportunity came along. They kept me up to date every step of the way. Very friendly, courteous and professional. I highly recommend them.
H. M.
My experience of 1st Choice has been really great. I was approached by Shelly and invited to register. I received a very friendly and professional welcome and certainly felt valued as a candidate - I look forward to having further conversations about roles! Thank you! :0)
J.
In my experience, first choice have always been superb. They're a lovely bunch; professional and polite. They've secured me good work in the past and as of the current moment, which is going towards funding my Masters. One of their consultants is even an Alumni in the same department I graduated from, so we had a great long chat about our time at University.
V. W.
Carmen at 1st Choice Recruitment is an absolute credit to the company! She is extremely professional and ever so helpful. She is dedicated in assisting me with my job search and I always feel like a valued customer of hers. Thank you Carmen for all your help and support!
J. R.
Really lovely people, could not help me enough also felt the knew exacly what i was looking for 😀
C. S.
I can not recommend Laura at 1st Choice MK highly enough. Her intelligence and professional experience really shone through on her initial phone call and when she was interviewing me. She took time to really understand not only my experience but also what motivates me. It has been an outstanding experience to go through 1st Choice.
T. x.
Shelly was really friendly. I went in with not much hope that they would be able to find me anything because i am not looking for a typical job. What i am after is something a little different. Shelly presented me with a exciting job and also tweaked my CV making it look much better. I am hopeful she will find me something tailored to me.
R. P.
Fantastic service from start to finish, super easy to sign up and they done all the work. Leah is an absolute credit to the company, who managed to find me a placement within days, even though the role was out of my comfort zone and I would be learning something new. Thank you for all your help. I would highly recommend 1st choice.
T. S.

Really enjoyed meeting with Emma Mist at 1st Choice Recruitment Milton Keynes. As an ex teacher looking for a new career, I felt my requirements and ideas were understood and through the meeting, I gained a better understanding of new positions I would be able to do. Thank you for your help, advice and support.
M. A.
Full of personable staff that always reply promptly and keep me updated about new work opportunities. Even though I'm only looking for flexible part time work to fit my university schedule, they remain engaged and keen to help. I'm glad I joined this agency.
D. T.
First ever recruitment agency I’ve worked with. I have the pleasure to work with a great team, they were quick and efficient on helping me with what I needed. They made sure I was kept informed the whole time, and made sure I was comfortable with the decisions made. Over all 10/10
K. W.
I couldn’t recommend 1st Choice Recruitment more. I would especially like to thank Emma and Francesca for working so hard to make sure I was put forward for the right job. They kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and were so friendly.
A. S.
Professional, proactive, warm and approachable. Excellent communication and customer service. I thoroughly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a position in the Milton Keynes area. Leah was a pleasure to deal with and most helpful at all times. Thank you.
M. M.
We set up a new business this year and 1st Choice have been dealing with all of our wages and staff contracts. Our staff are paid weekly and they have always been paid on time and correctly. From a management perspective first choice also remind me to send in the weekly hours which can often slip my mind during a busy week. They also provided great advice when we had to let one of our members of staff go. I'm very happy with the service from 1st choice.
C. P.
Great experience with Carmen. Very professional, exceptional communication and gave handy tips, helping me feel very prepared. Highly recommended.
P. H.
I started my own business in the summer of 2017 and needed 2 members of staff. Although I had managed people in other places of employment, I had no experience with all the legal aspects of having an employee. 1st Choice made everything so easy! From the standard contract with all the necessary terms and conditions, to sorting out all the right tax for the employees and their pension payments. I receive correct invoices perfectly on time each week and my employees happy receive their salaries weekly too with no hassle for me. I wouldn't have been able to focus on the success of my business if I didn't have 1st Choice to deal with the payroll and legal aspects of my employees. A life saver!
L. C.
Francesca was fantastic at helping me with my job hunt, she took time to understand exactly what it was that I was looking for and then delivered everytime with the jobs she found for me! She was friendly and approachable the whole time and was also extremely professional in everything she done. Thank you for all your help and I would definitely recommend you to friends and family in need of help!
M. A.
I would highly recommend 1st choice recruitment, Carmen helped me a lot in getting a interview almost straight away in something fitted to my CV and got a second interview from it. Very helpful and also give so many tips on how to get me prepared for a interview when I haven’t had one in such a long time! x
B. A.
Absolutely over the moon with my experience with first choice, I phoned up Emma explaining I was ready to go back to work after maternity leave and redundancy and. Within 24 hours I was resigned up with the agency and had an interview lined up, we went through the motions of the interviews with this company and no more than a weekater I am now on my 3rd day and I couldn't be happier, thank you to Emm Laura and Leah for all their help with quick responses on emails and always being available to call if I need them!

I have been out of work for nearly 3 months now due to being made redundant due to COVID and I was really struggling to find a job that suited my experience when I was searching on LinkedIn and Indeed, I applied for a job through indeed and 1st choice contacted me and were great not only did they take the time to get to know me, they also recommended another opportunity to me which suited my experience a lot more, thanks to them I have been successful in securing a brilliant opportunity with a great company, I couldn’t recommend anyone better.

The one and only recruitment agency who shows interested in helping you to find the right job!
I've been helped by Emma with a CV template and interview prep which I never meet this help before at any other agencies and I have worked with plenty in the past few years but none of them showed that much interest or been that helpful.
Really grateful.
Thank you!

1st choice offer 1st class service and come highly recommended. Francesca Bolino could not have been more helpful or supportive. Within days of registering, I had an interview set up and email and telephone support throughout the whole process. Thank you to the whole team, but in particular to Francesca. Good luck with all your future endeavours.

I'm only writing this review because I used to work with them years ago. I had a job in Milton Keynes. I lasted a year before I left onto pastures new. I didn't have any problems. It was good. Maybe one day I will work for them again.

After meeting with Emma on 18/11/2019 I was very warmly welcomed and made to feel at home, they even gave me change for the car park. Emma came across as very professional and I left the meeting feeling very confident that they would do everything they could to find me the perfect role.

I have just recently relocated to Milton Keynes from South Africa and have been applying for jobs on-line through various networks. As I am not familiar with the market or recruitment processes in the UK, it has been a daunting experience. I was refered to 1st Choice and went in for a meet and greet. A friendly environment, enthusiastic staff willing to help me in my journey to find work in the UK. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Milton Keynes area in finding work.

I want to thank Izzie and the team at 1st Choice Recruitment, Milton Keynes. Your team is absolutely amazing. Izzie found me the perfect role. I am so grateful. You are the best Izzie and I hope your employers know because you're an asset to any company and you deserve a bonus.
To every recruiter, I say go for 1st Choice, they are by far the best and first. They will get you candidates perfectly suited to the roles you advertise rather than a mismatch.

Izzie Gifford did her best and got me 2 job opportunities.

It's been a pleasant and easy experience with 1st choice can't recommend them enough.
