Reviews of Austin Fraser

As an analytics lead within a significant bio pharmaceutical company, I’m often found trying to navigate the discipline of recruitment. Austin Fraser have assisted in my last 4 reach outs for hiring. Each time I have found them to be great to work with. AF are very proactive in keeping up to speed with the marketplace, and have a strong network to call upon, so when we start out, I can expect aligned candidates to start rolling through. The team do a great job in keeping me up to date on candidate prospects and they’re amongst the most responsive teams I work with. I’ve found them to be extremely supportive in screening candidates as well as conducting the end to end communication. What I really like about AF is that on a few occasions when we’ve taken candidates right to the final stages, but they’re in the end unsuccessful, they have taken time to arrange debriefing interviews, in an effort to not only ‘clear the air’ between me and the candidate, but also so the candidate can potentially act on feedback. I love this mindset, it’s different, really healthy, shows AF have a genuine interest in their network and can mean that ‘next time’ is the ‘right time’ for an individual candidate. I’ve mostly worked with AF on the permanent side, but also have some experience of their capacity on temp side too, which was also very strong. More recently I’ve worked with Sam On the permanent side, who is very gifted at what he does, hyper processional, listens and gets stuff done. Sam and AF are my go to for anything recruitment, training and general market insight/trends. Recruitment is a two way process, candidate has to be right for the job, and the job has to be right for the candidate. I think Austin Fraser have this balance spot on. Highly recommend

I have been a freelance for years now and dealt with many recruiters and specialist firms, some better than others... The team at Austin Fraser did a great job and really gave a most professional and open approach - Big hand to Paul Stocks for the dedication, straight forward communication and personal approach. Also many thanks to Richard Stenton that made a lot of effort to sort out Brexit related question marks. This is how recruitment should be!

Great personable staff. Helpful every step of the way. Definitely recommend Megan, she was extremely helpful all the way through from the first interview to the offer letter.

I've worked with Austin Fraser for years now, both as a contractor and a hiring manager, and on both sides of the coin I've always found them to be among the most reliable and hard-working recruiters I've encountered. Dan Filmer particularly goes above and beyond at all points of the process, it's always a pleasure to work with him. Highly, highly recommended.

I have worked closely with Mark & Charles over many years and have always found them to be very professional. They have provided me with excellent candidates throughout and always take feedback onboard. I would highly recommend Austin Fraser for anyone looking to build a team or add to an existing team.

Very professional with a personal touch. I have used Austin Fraser multiple times, in particular Paul Stocks, during my time as a software manager. He always ensured the candidates are right for the job and ensured my time was used efficiently interviewing the best candidates.

Been great to work with, responsive and helpful at any time. I've personally been dealing with Paul Stocks who is a fantastic and professional guy, I've also contacted the accounts teams for several reasons and everytime they've been incredibly helpful (and made me realise my accountant was useless!). Would happily work with again.

Having to find an amazing opportunity to work with my current company was only possible through Gavin Stephens - I really feel lucky to have been recruited with his help. Not only was it a start of my career in a complete new country, it was also an opportunity of developing skills in healthcare domain. Gavin has not only helped me find a secure job, but has also made sure that I am well settled in my comapny. This is why he stands out in his profession - making sure both the parties are happy and settled in. All thanks for the guidance and support.

Austin Fraser have been my recruiters since I started contracting in 2011. Not only they have placed me in many roles, but they also are a lot more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the web development industry (unlike many others who lack in depth knowledge and might waste your time), but they’re very honest,straightforward and genuinely caring. We have been working together for many years ans I hope we will for many more years to come.

I’ve worked with Mark Thomas and the Reading team over many years as a client and as a candidate and highly recommend their services. As a client I was always able to rely on a fast response and high quality candidates to choose from. As a candidate I know that I can reach out to Austin Fraser for an expert view on digital opportunities in the Thames Valley.

Mark placed me in a role a few years ago, and supported me throughout the duration of the role and beyond. I've also worked with his colleague, Liam on another opportunity. Both have been super supportive, and have kept in contact even when I've been in roles with other agents.

I've had consistently good results recruiting with Austin Fraser -- both with the agent I'm currently working with and with the previous. They have really taken the time to get to know my requirements and to understand the culture of our organisation. Taken a lot of work off my shoulders as the filtering of CVs is excellent -- so much so that my last hire came from the first CV to be forwarded.

P. S.

Love working here, I actually look forward to work even when the going is tough!! Had such hard times already but everyone works together to get you through. The training is unreal and never stops to help keep you on track and there is a strong emphasis on promoting the social element too!

G. C.

Excellent in all respects! A major contributor to London, Reading and The Thames Valley in numerous ways. A pleasure and privilege to work and collaborate with. A highly professional and dedicated team comprised of great people!

My agent went the extra mile for me during the pandemic and I highly recommend Austin Fraser to skilled people looking for good placements and professional support when you need it.

M. S.

Austin Fraser is always there for you and offer help and support related to any aspects of your employment. Had great experience with Dan, Charles and Emma. Absolutely recommended.

C. M.

Sam listened to and understood our requirements for the role we were hiring, and only sent through relevant CVs saving us lots of time and effort, and we are very pleased with the outcome.

I. J.

Placed myself in a role quickly and efficiently. Ben is one of the best agents I have worked with and was very professional and responsive over the phone. Would recommend.

D. K.

The Austin Fraiser team have always been a great help both when looking for contract work personally and when helping clients hire, they work as a great filter, only sending relevant contract opportunities, and when hiring there has been none of the sifting through piles of irrelevant CVs you get with some other agencies.

M. M.

Some are just a little more professional then others. Austin Fraser and particularly Daniel Bliss fall into the first category. Daniel got me a dream job. What else can I say but thank you Dan!
