Reviews of Allen Associates

S. G.

Had a really good experience with Allen Associates. Sophie was amazing, always available if I had any questions regarding the process. Her interview process to get to understand me as a client to be able to best match me to a suitable role was really detailed. She took interest in understanding me personally as a client to link me to job roles that suited my attributes and interests best. Would highly recommend to anyone unsure on what job they are specifically looking. Thank you :)

B. N.

I love temping for Allen Associates! They always find me really exciting placements with excellent rates of pay and the opportunity to develop a variety of skills. Hannah, Katie and Lizzie in particular are stars - always checking in to see how I’m getting on while on a placement and working tirelessly to secure the next one for me! I’m really proud to be representing Allen Associates as a temp and very very grateful for the opportunities they provide. 100% recommend! Thank you 🙏🏼

M. C. S.

My experience of Allen Associates could not have been better. After I contacted them, Sophie conducted an initial interview via Teams to assess what sort of employment opportunities they could offer. She was very friendly and professional and left me feeling very optimistic for the future. I was right to feel that way, as the entire team are so hard-working and brilliant. At no point did I feel that they were just sending me jobs for the sake of it. Most seemed to be a good fit for me and it was simple to agree to apply. Within a few weeks, Charlie had found me the perfect role. I am very happy to say that I got the job and that the support from Charlie throughout the process was absolutely top class. I really cannot recommend them enough!

C. G.

Allen Associates have been a great recruitment agency for me! They have consistently sent job opportunities throughout my time with them and I was able to land two temp jobs, with the second one offering me a permanent job. All the staff are really helpful, friendly and supportive. One of the best recruitment agencies I have been with.

J. G.

Allen Associates were so supportive from the minute I signed up and went out of their way to find roles that suited me. I've just gone permanent in an amazing role having started out there on a temporary contract five months ago and have had a fantastic experience. The whole team were always available to answer any questions I had and regularly checked in with me during my placement. I signed up looking for work in a totally new field and couldn't have asked for a kinder group of people to support me.

G.

It’s been a pleasure working with Hannah over the years. She has always been friendly, professional and honest. Taking the time to understand me as as an individual (skills/needs/personality) and in doing so has placed me with some amazing companies. I highly recommend Allen Associates for both candidates and clients. Looking forward to continuing to work with Hannah and the team! Thank you for your support :)

I had a great experience with Allen Associates. They were really polite, friendly and efficient. I have been in contact with several agents that helped me through the interview process, and Lucy found me an amazing job offer. I am glad I choose them for helping me.

E. V.

I had a really outstanding experience with Allen Associates. Every person I dealt with was very professional with a noticeable friendly approach. They managed to find a good match for my professional characteristics and experience in a great organisation. If I need to search for a job again, certainly Allen Associates will be my first stop.

G. F.

Highly recommended - My experience with Allen Associates was excellent from start to finish. From finding me an initial temp position to a permanent job the team have been efficient and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you to Charlie, Katie, Lizzie and the rest of the team!

P. A.

Just wanted to write about the fantastic experience I had with Allen Associates. The entire team worked consistently with me to help find a wonderful role in an amazing company. I was searching for unique roles in niche companies and they personalised the search for the right job for me. Thanks Team Allen. Keep up the amazing work! :)

J. C.

If I could give the team more than 5 stars, I would! I have had the pleasure of working with Allen Associates both professionally and personally on a few occasions, and each time they have been beyond amazing! Their support and kindness is top notch and I cannot recommend them enough!

Allen Associates have twice helped me find great jobs. Supported throughout, clear communication with hiring manager. Super impressed!

S. C.

I am so grateful for Charlie's help at Allen Associates. I received amazing service and got the job I wanted. I am 3 days in and very happy.

J. H.

Amazing agency who work really hard to get me a role that I would be happy in. During initial discussions, Hannah came across as very knowledgable, friendly and also honest. Whilst looking for a role for me, Allen would make sure to get feedback from any potential employers which was very helpful! Once I was given a role, they checked up with me frequently to make sure I was alright or answer any questions. If I am ever temping again I will definitely contact Allen!

C. C.

I had a great experience with Allen Associates. I got a good temporary job within a few days of contacting them, and I've just been made permanent there. The whole team has been amazing from the very beginning and I can confidently say they've been the best recruitment agency I've dealt with. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them again, should I need help again. Thank you to the whole Allen Associates team!

C. G.

Fantastic help with my job search from start to finish. Kept in regular contact and sent me lots of suitable roles. Provided great feedback on interviews and applications and managed to secure me the perfect temp to perm job right on my doorstep on a fantastic salary. Cannot praise them highly enough.

K. J.

I have used Allen Associates a number of times for over 12 years whether as a candidate or looking for candidates. I can honestly say that Hannah has been awesome every time. I am particularly delighted that on my last temp role placement I have now been taken permanent at Jazz. Hannah told me it was a great place to work and she wasn't wrong! I am delighted with my outcome and the service I received so thank you Hannah & Allen Associates - its a rare pleasure to be able to say 'I love my job' :-)

A. O.

Since I registered my CV with Allen Associates Oxford, I have continuously received job offers from Allen Associates staff. They are very professional and friendly and always did follow-up in all my applications. I have worked with many people at Allen but Amy and Pippa were outstanding. It was with Pippa that I finally found that job I was looking for. I registered with several agencies last year, but this is the only one that never gave up on me and always had something to offer. They were always very interested in helping me find a job. I highly recommend this agency.

C. F.

Allen Associates have helped me find the most rewarding positions in my working career. Their team members have always been nothing but professional, friendly and supportive. Furthermore, the reputation they have built in Oxford and its environs means that they will be able to put a wide range of interesting and stimulating roles and a wide variety of employers in front of you. Overall, if you are seeking that next position, you could always do far worse than dropping Allen Associates a line.

B. A.

My experiences with Allen Associates have been completely faultless. The temps team were always very quick to respond to emails and calls, and were so supportive throughout my placement- calling to check in on me every few weeks. I felt so confident after my first video chat with Hannah that Allen Associates knew exactly what kind of placement I would enjoy, and what would match my experience level. Within less than 2 weeks I had 2 interviews set up (temps team were fantastic at supporting me with interview prep too). I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 month placement - the companies Allen Associates work with are all great. I can't think of any ways that my experience with Allen Associates could be improved and would highly recommend working with them.

M. J.

With the help of Katie, I was able to secure my first job after graduating this summer. Thank you so much to Allen Associates but particularly to Katie for helping me through the interview process, speaking to the company on my behalf and always being there to answer any questions I had. Would definitely recommend Allen Associates to others looking for a new role!

R. S.

Getting set up with them was a quick and easy process, and they immediately started sending through temporary roles. After less then 2 weeks I accepted a temporary role following an interview with the company, and after a few months this role has now been made permanent. They were always available for help and support during this process!

N. C.

I highly recommend Allen Associates. They have helped me find a job I am very happy in. Pippa who was my main contact, was very responsive and helpful. As was everyone else I was in contact with from the company.

T. S.

Allen Associates, in particular Amy, have been great to work with. After my registration interview I was almost immediately put forward for what the team felt was a suitable position match and was successful in my application. Amy has been incredibly responsive and helpful, never missing a beat or opportunity to assist. Thank you so much.

J. W.

Helen and the team at Allen associates have been wonderful at supporting me and helping me find a great new job. This is the second time I have used them and I felt confident confiding in them about any concerns I had about the interviews, leaving my old job or just job advice in general. I would recommend them. Thanks Allen Associates!

J. P.

Helpful, friendly and very professional. I really felt like the team were on my side, helping me land a role I was genuinely interested in. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joanne and the team to anyone. Thank you!

R. C.

All of the team were very helpful and highly competent. I recommend Allen Associates for your job search be you client, or candidate.

C. C.

Allen Associates have been fantastic from the beginning all the way to easing me into my new role. The team are very professional, especially Helen, Hannah and Katie. Each of them took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched me perfectly to my new role. I applied through indeed and received a phone call within 18 minutes! From here I had a telephone and zoom interview and signed a contract with my new role in a week! Thank you so much to the team at Allen Associates, you guys are amazing!

N. M.

From the get go, Allen Associates were swift in their approach with a keen ear to listen and tailor roles suited to me. Before I knew it I was swept away into a brilliant role within the week. Negotiations were quick, needs were taken into account, even over delivering! Big thank you to Helen and Eleanor for their amazing work, did not expect such an amazing experience. A greatly personable experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone still looking/curious - it's worth it!

K. T.

I was extremely happy with Allen Associates. I had worked with recruiters before and I never had any communication after our initial interview. AA was in constant communication, sending specific job postings fit for me and not just a bulk email list. We had pre & post interview chats with tips and guidance and there was always follow-up. I ended up finding the perfect job only 6 weeks. Helen & Amy were great to work with!

A. W.

My experience with Allen Associates was extremely useful in securing my new role - easy from start to finish! Helen was responsive, provided expert advice and walked me through a number of options to find one that fit. When the time came to discuss roles and contracts, working with Helen took a lot of the pressure and admin off my plate and ensured the process ran smoothly. Already recommended to friends and family.

N. B.

Easily the best recruitment agency in Oxford - Hannah took the time to listen to what I really wanted to do next and worked with me to find a role that i'm really happy with. They were very positive regarding my neurodivergency (I have ADHD) and took this into account when looking for roles, which was amazing The care they have for their clients and candidates is evident from beginning to end, and the interview/application prep was outstanding. I really couldn't receommend them enough to everyone who's looking for work at the moment. If I had LinkedIn I would boost them there as well, Hannah, Lucy and the rest of the team were incredibly helpful and set a high bar for how to actually be a recruitment agency with a heart.

D. F.

Really supportive all the way through my placement. Always checking in. Hannah and Lizzie were really friendly staff and helpful. Thank you

I.

I would like to say a big Thank You to Allen Associates for helping me to find a job that is a perfect match for me, especially in these challenging time we have. Lottie put me forward for an interview for a fantastic temporary position that has turned into permanent. I am very thankful for all the help and support Lottie & Hannah gave me through the whole process. I would always happily recommend Allen Associates to everyone!

J. D.

With the help of Hannah and Lottie, in a matter of days after submitting my CV I was being interviewed for a position relevant to my experience and within the academic/research sector I am interested in. I went to work in that temp position for a couple of months and to my delight they have kept me on as a result. I can't thank Allen Associates and the team enough for thier professionalism reassurance, and availability throughout my time with them. The job market is difficult for everyone right now, and they managed to make easy what could've been a very stressful time after relocating. Cannot recommend enough!

D. P.

The team at Allen Associates are what every recruitment agency should aspire to be like. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly, reassuring and really helpful when it came to landing me a new role in Oxfordshire. I am really glad I came across their website before I moved into the area, they have been such a positive influence in my life.

M. M.

Had a fantastic experience working with Allen Associates - the whole team are warm, compassionate and very professional. They successfully placed me in a role doing something I was incredibly passionate about and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a new role. Thank you Allen Associates for your support throughout the whole process.

S. j. M.

I had a wonderful time dealing with Allen Associates. After applying to a posting online - I had an assessment with Helen. She understood exactly what I was looking for and sent me viable options whilst arranging interviews. Within a couple weeks I had secured a great position with my new company. It's been a month in my new role and I couldn't be happier with the company and position so I owe a huge thank you to Helen and the team at Allen Associates. I would highly recommend working with them as it was an absolute pleasure!

S. A.

Fantastic agency. With their support, I was able to secure an exciting role in the life sciences sector within two weeks! Everyone was so helpful, responsive and they really made sure that the role was appropriate for me. A special thank you to Helen and Katie for all their advice and guidance. I would definitely recommend their services!

K. C.

Lovely agency! All the staff have been great in getting me my new job. Amy B, Amy M and Helen especially were very helpful and helped me with any queries I had during my interview stage. All of them are so bubbly and nice to talk to which makes you feel comfortable calling them and asking questions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an admin role.

S. M.

Really well handled recruitment from start to finish. Would highly recommend Allen Associates as both employer and candidate. Service was responsive, and engaging.

Z. P.

Following finishing A levels, I was looking for some temporary work before travelling on a gap year so decided to get in touch with Allen Associates, as a friend had highly recommended them. I sent them an email explaining what type of work I’d be looking for and for how long, and was shortly contacted back by Lotti who kindly arranged to have a chat with me the next day. Following this, I was given an exciting opportunity to work for a fantastic company while waiting for longer term opportunities to arise. I was then placed in another short term role to build up my experience, whilst Lotti was trying to secure my ideal longer term role at my favoured company, which she did so - I started just a week and a half later! In the next few months I thoroughly enjoyed working in my new role, and was regularly contacted by members of the Allen Associates team like Lotti and Hannah to check up on things and see how my time at the company was going. During my time with Allen Associates, I was rewarded with the ‘Star Temp of The Month’ award, which really demonstrated to me how Allen Associates place you in roles they know you’ll flourish in and love. 100% recommend!

J. V.

Never had any issues, diligent and personable professionals. Felt they really helped me get the best role suited to my abilities. They also did a thorough job with preparation for my interview. Now I have a great permanent role, cheers guys.

Y. Y.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Allen Associates. I have had a few contacts with a couple of other recruitment agencies and I can truly say that Allen Associates try to create a relationship with their candidates rather than sell them to their clients. I strongly believe this is a very important aspect if we (as candidates) want to find the right job for us. Highly recommend them!

N. S.

Overall very happy with the candidate care I received from Allen Associates. I worked with Amy on securing my current role and she was a pleasure to work with. The service I received was professional, responsive and personable. I would recommend to others.

J. P.

I am indebted to Allen Associates, who have successfully supported me during a career change on two occasions. On both occasions I benefited from a professional, thorough and delightfully friendly approach. I would wholeheartedly recommend Allen Associates to anyone searching for their next role.

J. F.

I got in contact with Allen Associates at the start of 2019. I could not fault their services! They sent me relevant job roles having got to know me during a friendly Skype call. Once we found the perfect role, they supported me immensely throughout my two interviews and kept in the loop with all follow ups from the company, even thought there was a 2 month delay! A fantastic end-to-end customer experience and I even received a bottle of champagne to congratulate me on my new job! Thank you AA

D. M.

Allen Associates were all round brilliant. They talked to me in full to understand mine and my families needs and match me up with a team that mirrored that. I have to say that dealing with Helen was so comfortable, she was both warm and professional, in fact everyone I have dealt with at Allen Associates were responsive, professional and just plain lovely. Thank you all for finding me my new role.

L. C.

I was contacted by a member of the team at Allen Associates back in September, and joined the agency soon after. Every single one of Allen Associate's... well, associates, were wonderful throughout the job seeking process. Not only did they consistently send through great job opportunities, they were kind and supportive, even when the job hunt frustrated me no end. The team is personable, dedicated and always ready and willing to answer your questions. They send through great tips on job-seeking, interviews, online presence etc. and I couldn't recommend them enough.

J. B.

Allen associates managed to find me an interview within hours of submitting my CV through their website in the middle of a global pandemic. Lotti Cook and Hannah Bush were dedicated, professional and supportive throughout my placement and I have since managed to be employed by the company in a permanent capacity. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

A. S. G.

I had an excellent service from Allen Associates definitely worth asking them for their help very professional very sensible and very encouraging I was very happy A particular thank you to Hannah Bush

D. M.

I was recommended to Allen Associates about 6 months ago, and was very happy with their service. They kept good communication right from my initial enquiry all the way through to me accepting a job. They listened carefully in our first meeting and sent through lots of jobs that were of interest. I cannot fault them!

G. S.

I am overall really pleased by the service given by everybody at Allan Associates. They were quick with responses and helped me find my dream job. Thank you Ladies!!!!!

j. k.

In these difficult times, I applied for a job through Allen Associates back in September on a temporary basis, and from the start Lottie Cook made the process really easy, making sure I had the beta opportunities to get the job, which I did. Even throughout the role, she was always making sure the role was going well, and I had all the support available. Now my role has been made permanent!!! so I would like to say a big thank you to Lottie for making that happen 😀

S. T.

I am very impressed with the service provided by Allen Associates. From the very first consultation right through to receiving the final offer of employment, it felt like my needs were truly understood and were being met at every stage. Having experienced Allen Associates as both a recruiter and a candidate I would happily recommend them to anyone in the job market!

A. B.

I have been signed up with Allen Associates twice now and continue to find them the best agency to be signed with. Every person you speak with in the team is friendly, and approachable, and takes the time to get to know you as a person, and as a worker. My experiences with other agencies have been very frustrating - phone calls to follow up an email which was already self explanatory/detailed, contact person changing constantly with no explanation/consistency/advanced warning. With Allens, you feel comfortable that you can always get in touch with your representative, that whenever a suitable job comes up you will know about it, and that they really have your best interests in mind. The offices are lovely, and again, everyone is very friendly and genuine in person too. I cannot recommend them enough!

N. C.

I will be always thankful to this company which have helped me a lot in searching for a new job! Allen Associates is composed of professional employees! They are such great people and work very hard until they have found the perfect role for you. I have already recommended this company to some of my friends, as I know that they will be in good hands with them! I wish I could work with Allen Associates too one day, as I really believe that they would be exactly the team I would love to work with! Thanks a lot for all your help!

E. E.

Isn't it fabulous when you find a team of people you can trust, who follow through on what they've said and in this sector who balance the needs of the candidate and employer. Allen Associates have supported me into two roles, with excellent service, enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. If you're looking for a new job in their area of expertise, absolutely get in touch, submit your CV and have a chat. If you're looking for a new team member Allen Associates know their candidates extremely well and will present people who are a good fit. In both cases you'll be very well looked after.

L. L.

Absolutely fantastic service! I registered with Allen Associates to help me find an PA/EA role and although ultimately I found a job independently, I can't recommend them enough. Unlike other agencies, Allen Associates genuinely have your interests at heart - you're not just a number or a potential earner for them. Lauren Thomas in particular was incredibly supportive, positive and offered great advice. Would definitely use them again.

E. R.

I worked with Allen Associates when I was recruiting for a position within our company. Simon on the finance team met with me within a few days of contacting them and provided a really good set of candidates. It was difficult to choose who to interview as they all had the qualities that we were looking for within our team! I was kept up to date throughout the process and the interviews were organised well and around my schedule. With Simon's help we now have a brilliant new member of the team who is fitting in perfectly and the whole process worked really well. I would definitely recommend and work with them again for recruitment.

L. G.

Having moved from London to Oxford recently I registered with several agencies in my search for a new role. I recognised quickly that Allen Associates were a very well established agency who offer a quality recruitment service with many excellent employers on their books. I was soon meeting with potential employers thanks to them. The interviews i attended were positive experiences and feedback was always provided which helped me alot. Allen Associates kept in touch on a regular basis, and the consultants were always very professional; communication, whether via telephone or email, was always carried out with a great deal of care and friendliness. Thanks to them, I have now started in a great position and am settling in well, with many wonderful new colleagues, so I really do recommend them highly.

L. N.

A brilliant organisation with thoughtful and passionate staff who go above and beyond to find your ideal role, and support you throughout the process. I signed up with four different recruitment agencies during my job search. Allen Associates was the only company who took the time to sit down with me in person and discuss in detail what it was that I wanted and was looking for. They consistently showed that they genuinely cared about me, rather than just seeing me as another candidate to fill a role. Regular phone calls, interview advice and feedback, and a special home delivery of champagne on receiving my job offer! In less than two weeks they placed me with my ideal company in a fantastic role. I now wouldn't use anyone else, and would recommend them to anyone looking for temporary or permanent roles in Oxford.

D. B.

I would highly recommend this fantastic professional employment agency as both a candidate and client. The service is 5 star, superb staff who were a joy to work with. They are very reactive and highly organised and efficient. A wonderful organisation in Oxfordshire and London to use for all your employment recruitment.

R.

Very good agency, staff are very nice. They helped me to find a job at such a difficult time. Probably the best recruiting agency I was dealing with, as they never forget you, and they always send you the most relevant vacancies. Will definitely use their service in the future and recommend it to others.

A. T.

With the threat of redundancy looming I couldn't hang around and wait for the intrepid day. With luck on my side Allen's Associates picked up my CV and ran with it. I received superb candidate contact with good roles coming my way. All I can say is be honest and be realistic and they will pull out all the stops to get you what you want. I can thoroughly recommend Allen's Associate's to help you. A quality service you rarely get in recruitment. From a delighted candidate, thank you.

M. H.

I registered with Allen Associates in December 2017. From the initial meeting they were friendly, genuine and always kept in contact. In February 2018 they found me a role (Accountancy) which is exactly the job i was after. They applied for me, prepared me for interview and kept in contact throughout the interview process. I'm now in the role thanks to their help. Jenny was especially helpful as my recruitment consultant. Would most definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate in using them again should the need arise.

p. m.

I have recently finished my job through Allen Associates and I can’t thank them enough, I was interviewed initially by Hannah who was incredibly kind and funny, it’s a relief to be made comfortable during an interview! Once I left she called me almost instantly to say that she had found a job right up my street and she was right, I started the temp job the following week and my job was fantastic! Thank you Hannah and the rest of the team for just being awesome, hopefully next time I’m back in Oxford I can work with you all again :)

T. H.

I hadn't worked with a recruiter before and was a little sceptical about how useful they would be, but Allen Associates were excellent from start to finish. They suggested a vacancy in a different industry that I would have overlooked, but it turned out to be a great opportunity. I felt that the consultant listened carefully to what I was looking for and identified my strongest skills. The whole team were professional, friendly and quick to respond to any queries.

R. M.

Registered with Allen Associates in August, and had a temp job tailored to my interests within a couple of weeks! They are a fantastic team who were sending me potential roles on a regular basis, and they always stay in touch to see how my assignment is going. 5 stars, would definitely recommend! Thank you for all of your hard work.

T. G.

I have worked with Allen Associates, in particular Lotti and Hannah, for a few years now and they have always put me forward for and secured excellent roles in excellent companies. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to work with an agency.

T. P.

Very professional agency, yet amazingly friendly people! I have been struggling finding the right job for me because I have always been way too shy and nervous, and somehow I have always managed to fail. After Ben and Kate, from the London office of Allen Associates, had entered my career searching life, I have become more comfident and patient. They were always so supportive, encouraging and always sending relevant job offers. It was my first time when I felt relaxed on a interview when I spoke with them. They did not give up on me and kept motivating me throughout the whole process. By the time, I found myself in their words. One the most important thing to keep close is The people who can change your life in a positive way. And you did. Thank you so much, guys! I will not hesitate to recommend Allen Associates to anyone who is searching for their next career opportunity.

C. H.

I have now temped with Allen Associates on two long term contracts and also been placed permanently in two terrific roles. They are unlike every other recruitment agent I have been to, as they actually listen and also genuinely care about what it is the candidate is looking for and are exceptionally good at placing you within the right organisation - they are highly skilled at matching personalities and cultures. I cannot recommend the entire team highly enough!

J. K.

I can't recommend Allen Associates highly enough. They are the best recruiters I have ever dealt with.Always friendly, professional and very helpful. Communication was always clear and honest. I would have no hesitation in recommending Allen Associates to both clients and candidates alike.

D. W.

Outstanding service. Unlike any other agency I've used. A&A really take the time to get to know their candidates - focus on getting the right placement for the right person. It really sets them apart from other agencies, who speak to you once and then just fill up your inbox with junk. A&A helped me get a placement at a company that perfectly matches my skills, my personality, and my goals - and now my placement has turned into a permanent position. I couldn't be happier. Thank you everyone at Allen & Associates.

J. P.

Worked with lottie Cook to land a fantastic role. She spoke with the employer on my behalf, was very communicative and made the whole process very simple and reduced as much stress as she could during a stressful process. I would highly recommend her as a recruiter, and subsequently Allen Associates.

L. Q.

I have been fortunate to have been placed in both temp and permanent roles by Allen Associates over many years. They are one of the best agencies I have ever used - their consultants listen to your preferences and tailor make a profile for you. I have also used them as an employer and the service on both sides is excellent.

O. C.

I could not recommend Allen Associates any higher! The team are so hardworking, replying to my emails and phone calls almost instantly. There is not one unfriendly person in the whole company and I was sent job roles I could apply for almost every day. I am now very happily starting a new job in a ten month contract, and its all down to Allen Associates! P.s. They even sent all their temps an amazing tin of Hotel Chocolat biscuits as part of their 'temps week'!

Z. W.

I registered with Allen Associates looking for some advice and to see what kind of positions were available. Within a month the team had found me the perfect position and guided me through the whole process, keeping in contact throughout. The team are so friendly and helpful and you can talk with anyone from the team who will be more than willing to help. Would highly recommend for anyone who is thinking of changing careers or would just like some advice.

J. B.

I recommend 100% Allen Associates. After the interview I had with them, they sent me an offer to work not even 2 days after and it was exactly what I was looking for. The team is always available, super nice, they keep in touch all the duration of your contract. I have nothing bad to say about them. Thanks again to the team !!!!

T. W.

Absolutely amazing service from the entire team!! I initially registered with Allen Associates looking for temporary work, while searching for a permanent role suited to my degree after graduation... Not only did they successfully find me multiple well paid temporary roles, they also helped me land a permanent role, which I absolutely LOVE and it ticks all of my boxes!!! If you're looking for work in Oxfordshire, permanent or temporary, honestly look no further than Allen Associates.

H. F.

A rare find a recruitment company that proactively acts on your behalf, calls you back when they say they are going to call back and are totally honest and upfront i.e. Helen that position you applied for is a generic request for quality C.V's. Instead of oh that position is now at interview stage and they are no longer taking C.V's (but the position is still on their website 6 months later!!! ) I was impressed with the amount of opportunities sent to me on a daily basis (overwhelming sometimes). I would really recommend working with this company in fact I already have to several people. Thanks Allen Associates!

This is one of the loviest agency’s I’ve ever been to, they all make you feel comfortable and look after you well! When I had my interview I was made welcome and didn’t feel intimated, they praised my skills and helped me find what I wanted. I was updated with loads of jobs everyday and within a week I found a job I wanted. They sorted everything out for me and even wrote a cover letter, everything ran extremely smoothly, they check up on me and asked how I was, I felt very safe. All the staff there was very lovely to me! I am now permanent with the job they found me and never been happier. Just wants to thank you all again for everything.

Allen Associates offer a uniquely personal approach to recruitment. They take the time to thoroughly assess each candidate, considering their specific requirements before proposing any suitable vacancies. The result is a great match every time. Definitely a 5 Star experience!

I have used Allen Associates regularly over the last few years and held a number of temporary positions with them which have often led to offers of permanent contracts. There has only been one occasion where I have felt that they let me down and this was discussed in detail with them and they responded accordingly. I would be very happy to continue to use them again both for recruiting staff and for seeking alternative employment if needed.

Allen Associates were very friendly and professional from the moment I signed up. They kept me updated with suitable positions and within just over 2 weeks I had secured a permanent job which I am now very happy in. Thanks again to all the team!

R. E.

From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. Allen's really stand out from all other recruiters. I put this down to them meeting you and being personable and actually having a vested interest in you. You feel like a person, not a number with them. Thanks again for everything!

The service I received was unparalleled. From the start, my consultant, Simon Trott, guided and encouraged me through every step of the process. Not only was he there to answer all my professional questions, but he often acted as the champion of my cause and provided lots of encouragement when I needed it. In summary, Allen Associates took care of me as if I were a VIP client and I am sure that other clients are treated in the same way . I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Allen Associates are an exceptional recruitment agency! They have really top quality jobs on their books - and they will take care of you! They will do their utmost to find the right job for you.

T. P.

Always had good experience with them - normally do a thorough registration interview (in person in normal times) and drill down on what you really want to do. On following up, they normally have direct email addresses and direct lines saving a lot of faff, and I've found I got a lot of interviews from them. Not got a job from them yet, but you never know, and it's not from lack of effort on their part.

K. M.

I had a really excellent experience with this organisation. From the first interview, which reminded me of the skills I had to offer, and boosted my confidence, through to ongoing supportive phone calls and emails to see how I was getting on in my new role, and encouraging me through the application process for a permanent role. They even sent me a bottle of champagne when I secured a job contract! Great company, lovely people - would definitely use them again.

G. G.

I've dealt with many agencies in my long career and I'd definitely recommend Allen Associates above others. Every person who answered the phone was engaged and proactive in helping. Not one message went unreturned. A professional and mature approach. I got the distinct impression that I was being told the truth, so not too salesy, and definitely not overselling/under-delivering. I have quite high expectations when it comes to customer service (as BT, EE etc!) and I would choose this agency again for sure. Spot on!

P. K.

I worked with three agencies in my recent job search, and Allen was by far the most personal and proactive -- helpful and encouraging through a stressful few weeks. And the gift of bubbly on my first day in the new job was a lovely surprise.
