September 2021
Shaun Mollon, Director @ Plazology:
“Plazology have been using Willcox Matthews for the past year and have successfully placed two excellent candidates with very different job specifications.
As a company and me personally, I have tried to stay away from recruitment companies as I have found them very hit and miss. Many times have vetted CV’s which are nowhere near the level required of the job specification provided. In Willcox Matthews case, this has never been the situation; to date, every CV I have read has been of interest and quality. They listen carefully to our job specifications requirements, and having spent many hours going through Linkedin, and CV-Library I am amazed how quickly Jake and his team deliver alternative candidates, saving me time and allowing me to focus on other tasks within Plazology.
I look forward to developing our recruitment strategy further as both our businesses grow in size”.
