At the first consultation the Signum consultant explained the recruitment process and the options available to me. The scope and speed of the job search was to my preference throughout, I did not feel at all pressured to go to interviews that were not within my job search specifications.

The Signum consultant thoroughly understood my reasons for leaving my existing employment and what I was looking for in a new placement. He reviewed the market and discussed with me the vacancies available, and helped me find a shortlist based on my criteria not his.

Prior to speaking with Signum I felt I was just a statistic on a database to other recruitment agents. I would receive a phone call every time a vacancy arose in the market place whether or not it was in an industry that was of interest to me. The agents were very pushy and often rude when I said I was not interested. Even if I thought the role might be interesting, I did not feel confident that they would offer the support and advice specific to my needs.

With the Signum consultant I was confident that he was dealing with me alone, and had my best interests at the forefront of his mind. I was confident that I could phone at any time to ask questions or discuss anything I wasn't sure about. I felt assured that my CV would only be sent to firms/companies I was interested in working with.

I was kept up to date with the progress of my applications at each stage of the recruitment process. The consultant was in constant contact with me and the prospective employers to ensure the process ran as smoothly as possible.

Interviewing was definitely a weakness for me, so my consultant spent time helping me prepare for the interviews which gave me self assurance and built my confidence. He took time out of his weekend to advise me on interview techniques and ensure I was fully prepared for the meetings.

I would definitely recommend Signum to others, infact I have already mentioned them to a few colleagues. I also know that the person who interviewed me for the position I have accepted was extremely impressed with the professional service that Signum delivered, and they have recommended Signum to their son.

I was recommended to Signum by an ex colleague who used them. I felt that my Signum consultant went to great lengths to find out what I was looking for and sought to meet those needs. I found the overall quality of advice to be very high and most importantly it was a tailored personal service. All roles were followed up and the resulting feedback and availability was first class. Timing and communication during the recruitment process was very well handled considering the speed with which responses were received. Interviews were requested rather sooner than my consultant would have wished so he managed the clients so that the interviews were kept close together. I very much appreciated the pre interview meeting. The value this added to my interview preparation was considerable as my Signum consultant ensured that I focused on the key positive points for wanting to change.

My experience with Signum was far better than any other recruitment company I have used previously, it was a personal and thorough service.

Although I didn't take up any of the three offers I received and ended up staying with my current employer, I consider that my consultant's response to this was completely professional, no pressure was put on me to change my mind and that was very much appreciated. I would wholeheartedly recommend Signum to others.

I was first introduced to Signum when I received a call from one of their consultants. I felt that the consultant gained a very good understanding of my personal needs and found him to be extremely helpful. I found the advice to be valuable and was very satisfied with the service I received.

The timing of the recruitment process was very well managed and communication was very good throughout.

I feel that my consultant added significant value to my interview preparation - a meeting was arranged prior to the interview where we discussed in detail interview techniques, possible interview questions, and any areas of my CV where I may be challenged on etc. Overall this was very valuable advice.

Signum are the best recruitment company I have dealt with so far, having dealt with quite a lot both as a recruiter and as a candidate. The personal level of the service provided has not been equalled by other consultancies. I would unreservedly recommend Signum.

I heard about Signum when a consultant contacted me in the autumn. I liked their approach so when I was ready to make my career move I contacted them in the New Year.

When I met my consultant they really listened to what I had to say and consulted with me regarding potential options and how they would impact my longer term future.

I found the advice logical and insightful. There was plenty of communication right from the first point of contact and a very efficient and supportive approach.

The service was absolutely top class and much more personally tailored than I expected. I felt that my Signum consultant acted in my best interests to find me the very best position with the best employer and that he would not be happy until he found the best combination for me. Within one week of contact, I had 4 firms interested in seeing me for an interview.

Compared to other recruitment companies I have used, Signum provided a more personal bespoke services and treated me as their priority at all times. Unlike the majority of agencies who promise the earth and deliver nothing, Signum provided a completely realistic expectation and delivered accordingly.

I would very much recommend them to others.

My experience of recruitment with Signum was excellent. My consultant met with me several times to discuss what my ultimate long term goals were, before specific roles were even brought to the table. Only after pinning down where I wanted to be in the long term, did we start to look at different types of work, firm and industry and how each would help me move towards my desired final position. Once the types of work and company to be targeted were chosen, my consultant worked with me to perfect my CV and tailor it to the roles I would be looking at. Each prospective role was cleared as acceptable with me before inroads were made. Prior to each interview, I would discuss at length how to prepare and would have test runs with my consultant to ensure I was in optimum condition for that specific interview. I would also debrief after each interview, so that any feedback could be worked on immediately. I would speak to my consultant at least once a day, even if only to confirm there had been no movement. Compared to other firms, I found that more time and care was taken into mapping out a career path and also in preparation for each interview. I would highly recommend Signum to anyone considering a career move.

I applied to Signum Global via a web based job board.

I felt that my Signum Consultant made a point of clearly understanding my needs and then gave me very good quality advice and consultation regarding my career options.

I feel that my Signum consultant managed the recruitment process efficiently and provided me with very effective communication throughout.

My consultant provided me with interview preparation which gave me a new insight into the interview process which I never had before.

I am very thankful to Signum for providing me with a great career opportunity and for helping me in different ways, which really impressed me. I see Signum as a very distinguished recruitment agency and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I first learned of Signum when I received an email from one of their Research Associates. I then spoke to one of their Directors who acted as my consultant. My consultant spent a lot of time discussing my needs and assessing my criteria for a new employer. This was such a great help as I'd never used an agent before, and hadn't been to an interview in 8 years. Once we had agreed to a marketing plan and sent my CV to the companies I had authorised he then screened the enquiries and spaced the interviews to make the process manageable and provided me with excellent communication. I was kept up to date with progress, by phone, email, text and voicemail. Having not been to an interview for over 8 years, the interview advice aided and reassured me it helped me keep focus and structure in my answers; it was invaluable. I secured the opportunity I wanted with a significant pay increase.

The whole process was very smooth, and the help and advice I received was brilliant. Unfortunately I cannot compare with other agents, but from what I have been told by people who have used agents, Signum is more communicative, and spends more time with the candidate.

I would definitely recommend Signum to others!

I posted my CV on several recruitment websites and was contacted by Signum within 24 hours. My Signum Consultant took the time to ensure they had a very good understanding of my career needs. He took the time out to chat to me and understand exactly what type of opportunity I was looking for. I was provided with professional and valuable advice throughout the entire recruitment process and he was with me every step of the way from our initial consultation right through to the end. Once I had secured a job he dealt with any queries and concerns I had straight away.

I feel that the Signum interview preparation added immense value. Having not attended an interview for over 3 years my Signum consultant spent a great deal of time with me, going through interview questions and techniques.

Signum took the time to understand my needs and matched me with suitable jobs. Other Recruitment Agencies often contacted me about jobs, which did not match my requirements; thus wasting a lot of my time and making me feel like just 'another number'. The service provided by Signum was much more personal. Not only was I looking for a new job but I was re-locating as well. Having Signum looking after my recruitment needs was one less thing for me to worry about as they provided such an excellent service and I trusted my Signum consultant 100%. I was hesitant about going through a recruitment agency but I am glad I did. I would definitely recommend Signum to others.

Signum was recommended to me by a former work colleague, and my first consultation with them was based on understanding my requirements in terms of the role, opportunity and work life balance I was looking for. A plan was then devised on how Signum would go to the market and conduct a comprehensive job search process.

My Signum consultant was excellent. They made sure I fully understood the whole process and was always on hand to explain new developments and answer the questions that I had.

I found the interview preparation meeting very valuable. The tips and advice given were very useful and I feel on a whole my interview technique improved.

I had not heard of Signum until I was recommended to them and by this time I had already registered with one of the other well known recruitment agencies. The service from Signum was remarkable by comparison. The level of attention commitment and effort I received from my Consultant was second to none.

I would absolutely recommend Signum to others.

When I made contact with Signum about international opportunities, it was obvious that I was dealing with a consultant who cared about understanding all of my requirements including the role and the lifestyle I wanted. He then presented me with opportunities that were ideal in meeting all of my criteria.

My consultant was very good at assisting with preparation to help calm my nerves, as this was my first experience of formal interviews. He was very good at ensuring he got hold of me at times which were convenient, and was proactive in following up firms.

My consultant managed the process exactly in line with what I wanted. There was no pressure from them and they arranged a job offer for me that meant I had ample time to arrange my relocation.

Their Interview preparation session helped me focus on what was required from the interview and enabled me to bring out the best characteristics in my personality.

I would definitely recommend Signum Global to others.

I first heard about when I was contacted by my consultant. I was impressed with the initial discussion and agreed to meet up. During the meeting we talked through my needs and goals. I felt confident that my consultant understood them very well hence we then agreed on an action plan to achieve them.

I felt that the overall quality of advice and consultation provided was excellent in fact 10 out of 10. During the course of the process my Signum consultant always kept in touch, either via phone, email or text message, I was very satisfied with the process management.

The interview preparation sessions were especially useful and gave me insight into what was required in a high profile interview scenario. My consultant served as a good sounding board for my answers, and helped me tweak them to maximise clarity. I got to ask and understand what interviewers were looking out for in certain 'tricky' questions (e.g. what are your weaknesses?). This also gave me added confidence knowing that I was able to think on my feet in tricky situations.

My experience of other recruitment companies has been limited to initial phone /face-to-face interviews, however seeing that no other company had a good follow through process, Signum stands out.

I definitely will and in fact already have recommended Signum to others.

I would like to add that I valued the flexibility of starting the meetings with my consultant early (prior to normal work) or late. It certainly showed their dedication to seeing the process to completion especially as he had to make personal sacrifices at times to make it happen.

Signum contacted me having seen my CV on an internet job site.

At the first meeting my consultant put a high importance on understanding my needs we then agreed on a set list of clients that my CV would be sent to. The quality of advice was excellent 10 out of 10! I felt genuinely consulted with as opposed to steered or pushed towards certain clients or roles.

My Signum consultant ensured that every aspect of the process was well thought out, managed and organised in accordance with my wishes. I learned a lot from the process which I feel contributed towards my securing the position that I really wanted. In particular, the interview preparation meeting and ongoing coaching added the most value. My consultant actually went through interview scenarios with me and raised many important questions and issues that I would be expected to face in an interview.

I would absolutely recommend Signum as my experience with them was unique compared to the other agencies I have used. Signum had the positions, connections, knowledge and operated on a highly professional basis. I felt encouraged and they never give up on finding the best position even when offers came out from my second and third choice companies.

I heard about Signum when I received an email from them advertising International job opportunities. My Signum consultant first made sure that they understood what I wanted from my career move. The opportunities they put to me all met with my requirements.

The quality of advice and consultation was excellent throughout, and the process was managed exactly in line with my wishes. I was always kept up to date with progress and knew my consultant was managing the process behind the scenes.

The interview preparation process added a lot of value. It helped me get some idea of the types of questions I should expect, enabled me to prepare more thoroughly and made me feel more relaxed and confident about the interviews.

I would definitely recommend Signum to others.

Overall I am very happy with my experience. They helped greatly with the process and I am looking forward to this new opportunity, which I may not have secured without the help of Signum.

I heard about Signum when one of their advisors contacted me by phone.

After meeting my Signum consultant they really understood my needs. It was quite a long meeting which enabled me to focus and clarify what was really important to me. The quality of advice and consultation was excellent. The process was managed very well, with due regard for the parties involved. My consultant was always contactable, and actively kept me up to date without putting me under any pressure.

The interview preparation meeting was very valuable in that I didn't know what to expect from an interview, having been with the same employer for a long time. The meeting made me think about my answers to key questions, and I felt more confident and prepared as a result.

I have to say that Signum was much better than other recruitment companies that I have dealt with. I felt the focus was on my needs, rather than feeling I was being pushed into any job for the sake of someone's commission. Also my consultant was more experienced and mature than most of the people employed by other agencies.

As a result I will definitely recommend Signum to other people.

I have to say that the advice I received throughout the entire recruitment process with Signum was excellent. When I met with my consultant he took his time to be sure that he understood my career objectives very well before proceeding with any job search. He asked me questions about my future ambitions and plans, which helped in understanding what I really wanted. My consultant also managed the timing of the process to ensure it was effective and convenient for me even though it sometimes meant that the consultant had to work out of office hours to ensure the communications I got were very timely.

I was prompted to do the research and hard work required to get the job that I wanted. My consultant went through an interview scenario with me guiding me on how to structure my answers during interviews to make the best impression on the interviewer and where to focus most effort.

Signum really pushed the market to ensure I got the job I wanted most, whereas most other recruitment companies dump you after two or three attempts. They provided me with one-to-one consultation and only put me forward for roles that were aligned with my wishes and long-term career goals.

I would recommend Signum to others without reservation.

I was very impressed with the way my Signum Consultant went about understanding my needs. I was treated me like an individual and felt that my needs and objectives were genuinely prioritised.

The quality of the service I received was 10 out of 10. My consultant not only gave me advice relating to the current roles available but also gave me information on other roles coming up and was happy for me to wait if I felt the forthcoming roles were potentially better options for me.

The process was very well managed. My Signum consultant was always available whenever I needed them even late at night and over weekends and was always attentive in coming back to me. Every step of the process was well planned and tailored to provide me with the best results.

The most value-added part of the process for me was the interview preparation session. My initial perception of the importance of this was much lower than it should have been. It gave me the opportunity to prepare for an interview on a psychological level, which had never occurred to me before. It significantly aided my performance.

In comparison to other recruitment companies I have used, Signum was definitely the best. Working with them was actually an enjoyable and interesting experience.

I will most definitely recommend Signum to others and would like to personally thank my Signum consultant for their work and results.

I was first introduced to Signum through a call from a research executive.

My Signum consultant met with me for an initial briefing meeting where they gained a clear understanding of my requirements.

Signum provided me with excellent quality of advice and consultation throughout the recruitment process. In particular, the interview preparation meeting added a lot of value, during which I was provided with comprehensive information about the companies and the techniques improved my confidence, especially as I hadn't had an interview for 4 years.

The process was very well managed; interviews were spaced out appropriately in order to manage five companies within good time frames. My Signum consultant was very attentive throughout and I was always well informed and contacted straight after interviews with feedback.

Compared to other recruitment companies I would rate Signum highly, as they were very attentive, but not annoyingly so!

I would definitely recommend Signum and would like to thank them for making the whole process run smoothly and for helping me to secure my dream job.

I would have no doubts over recommending Signum to others. Having first gone through my CV and discussed my needs with the consultant in terms of want I wanted, I believe the Signum consultant understood very well what my needs and objectives were.

The advice and consultation from my Signum consultant was the best. My consultant made the process convenient, around my work schedule and was completely supportive throughout the process.

For me personally, I think the interview preparation session was of most value. It boosted my morale and confidence and thought me a lot of new interview skills.

Signum is the first employment agent to help me with the interview preparation part; which I think helped me so much. It makes Signum’s services second to none.

I originally heard about Signum when my consultant called me, I was ready to make my next career move so I agreed to meet with them.

During the initial meeting my Signum consultant took the time to listen and clearly understand my career needs. I was given a full overview of the Corporate Finance workplace which enabled me to further understand where I would be best suited.

I would rate the overall quality of advice and consultation throughout the entire process at 10 out of 10. I thought the whole process was fantastically well managed and as a result I secured great position in the ideal environment.

The interview preparation meeting was very valuable. I feel it gave me a big confidence boost for my interviews.

Compared to other recruitment companies I have experienced, I would rate Signum as the best by far, the service experience was far more personal and feedback was quick.

I have already recommended Signum to others and will continue to do so.

I first heard of Signum when they approached me on behalf of a client who had a specific vacancy. My consultant firstly took the time to establish my requirements, which I found unusual as most recruitment consultants I had dealt with seemed more interested in pushing jobs.

Once I gave the instruction my consultant sourced the market for other roles in conjunction with the one I was initially contacted for in order to ensure an optimum result. The process was managed very well and the consultation and advice I was provided with throughout was excellent. My work schedule was very busy and involved long hours yet my consultant was always available to discuss key issues during the process even at weekends!

The interview preparation meeting improved my awareness of what to expect in a tough interview so I was able to prepare more thoroughly and influence a more successful outcome.

This was the first time I used a recruitment company but having discussed my experience with colleagues who have, I believe Signum to be far superior and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Signum was initially recommended to me by a friend who was successfully placed by them. My consultant fully understood my needs, and made sure my best interests were always put first. I was very impressed by the advice and consultation provided. I felt very well prepared for my interviews, and found that there were no questions which I felt I was not able to answer satisfactorily.

A point I would like to make is that I made my consultant fully aware that I had already been put forward to a position through a personal friend in conjunction with the other options I had selected to go for through Signum, yet, I was given completely unbiased advice which continued to be the case throughout the entire process.

I initially met with my consultant a couple of months before I commenced the search for my next role. This was because I had exams and did not want to be distracted from studying. I feel that during this time, the consultant kept in touch with me, without putting any pressure on me to send my CV off. As soon as I felt ready to begin the process and my CV had been sent off, I was regularly updated and encouraged to address any concerns with my consultant.

Their interview preparation process ensured I was well prepared for all types of questions at the interview, and this helped to build my confidence. I feel that without the preparation process, I would not have been able to answer the questions as well as I did.

I feel that Signum offered good, unbiased advice. I have dealt with a number of other recruitment companies in the past who were pushy and without empathy. Signum were completely different and were prepared to support me in my decision, regardless of whether it was to benefit them or not.

I have already recommended Signum to a number of people who are currently beginning the job search process, and hope to make further referrals in the future.

I heard about Signum when one of their associates contacted me to discuss my current position plans for the future. He then referred me to one of their specialist International Consultants.

My Signum consultant understood my needs from an early stage, and offered me excellent advice on international secondment options enabling me to research and make informed decisions. Being quite sceptical of recruitment firms in general I checked the advice given with other sources I found in the marketplace and can confirm that everything I was told was accurate and balanced.

The process was managed efficiently from my initial enquiry to job offer. It was slick, fast and in accordance with my instructions. It also involved a number of late night conversations which I was grateful for.

As I had not had an interview in 5 years and had not had much time to consider my approach due to work commitments the preparation discussions with my consultant gave me a reality check and prompted me to put the right amount of work in to this area. It also enabled me to interview with great confidence in my answers.

I have already recommended Signum and will continue to do so. I am very happy with the experience of using them.

Having used Signum successfully in the past, I had no hesitation in contacting my consultant again. He understood my needs exceptionally well. Their extensive expertise meant they were able to present all my options in an objective manner, to allow me pursue the correct career avenue that was right for me.

The quality of service provided was far beyond my expectations, from the three face-to-face meetings, to the numerous calls both to me and prospective employers.

I was impressed by the fact the interviewers I met actually praised Signum. I am certain Signum’s committed approach and reputation aided in creating a good impression of me, before I even got to the interviews.

My consultant called to discuss interviews immediately after they had taken place, even when they didn’t finish until way past close of business. Overall, the communication and recruitment process was managed exceptionally well.

I had three face-to-face meetings with Signum that provided excellent preparation for interviews. My consultant provided specific research material for my prospective field of work, as well as improving my effectiveness at interviews. The interview preparation greatly increased my ability from perform at interviews.

Compared to other recruitment firms Signum has been the best, by far. I would be glad to recommend them to others.

I first heard about Signum when they contacted me after I had uploaded my CV onto a recruitment website. In the first instance my Signum consultant really took the time to ensure they understood my needs in a new role. I felt that the advice given and approach was of exceptional quality. The overall process from the start to accepting a position took just three weeks. Although I was expecting the process to take much longer, I didn't feel at all rushed. Interviews were ideally scheduled, which ultimately led to the offers being made around the same time, giving me time to make an informed choice, as opposed to feeling rushed into a decision. My consultant contacted me every time it was needed and at times that suited me. I wasn't hounded by phone calls or left waiting for feedback.

One of the key things for me that stood our about Signum was their interview preparation meeting. This really differentiated them from the rest of the firms I spoke to as it helped me the most as I have had very little interview experience.

Having spoken to other recruitment firms during this process, I felt that Signum timed everything really well, where the others seemed to want to get me employed and get their fee as soon as humanly possible! Signum were by far the best recruitment firm I dealt with. I felt that they genuinely wanted to help me and were not just after the fee I would bring.

I will most definitely recommend Signum to others.

My initial contact with Signum was when they headhunted me for opportunities they had in the market place. This was a little awkward but arrived at the right time in my career.

My consultant empathised with the long hours culture of due diligence work and was flexible with timing of calls to work around my late meetings and make it easier to talk.

The quality of advice and consultation was very good, and I appreciated their insights into the perceived cultures of the target firms.

My former role was inflexible given the hours and travel involved yet Signum were able to accommodate this with timetables and interviews, and were always available to take my call.

Given my position and experience I was initially reluctant to engage in their interview preparation meeting, however, I found the advice and change of emphasis on the development points very useful.

I would rate Signum a lot better than the other recruitment firms I have seen in the Manchester market, there appeared to be more candidate control and reaching a multiple offer scenario not only provided more reassurance it also helped to better evaluate the target firms.

I would recommend Signum to others.

I am glad to highly recommend Signum to others. My Signum consultant questioned me extensively to ensure they understood my needs very well. They asked me what I wanted to do with my career and what field/industry I wanted to work in and then matched it perfectly to the opportunities open in the marketplace.

The advice and service I received was second to none. I have nothing but praise for the way my consultant dealt with everything from initial job search to negotiating my offer. I have dealt with many recruitment consultants in the past but the help & support that was given to me throughout was exceptional.

I was informed about the job on the 15^th December and received the offer on 8^th January, considering the time of year that the job was offered at meant that it has been exceptionally quick. My consultant was in regular contact with me providing proactive updates, not once did I feel the need to chase them for updates or information.

The interview preparation session I was provided with helped me maximise my performance in interview and no doubt contributed to the successful outcome.

Compared to other recruitment companies I have used, Signum is the best I’ve come across. They were far superior in both the way I was handled as a candidate and the quality of the opportunities they capture. My consultant successfully brokered my needs to the perspective companies and persuaded them to tailor roles they had to suit my specific aspirations. It was nice to be treated as an individual and not just a number like I have been treated by other large recruitment agencies.

Signum contacted me after I posted my CV on an internet job website.

During the first face to face consultation we discussed my requirements, career objectives the type of role I was looking for. A plan was then devised on how these needs could be met and the whole job search process. I found the quality of the consultation excellent! I fully understood the market and the process and my Signum consultant was always on hand to explain any new developments and answer the questions I had.

The way the process was managed was excellent also. I was contacted and advised of any new developments pretty much a daily basis as I had requested.

The interview preparation meeting was very valuable to me. The tips and advice given helped me to improve my whole interview technique.

I would recommend Signum because I have had an excellent experience with them. I had not previously heard of Signum and I had registered with the other well known agencies whose service was terrible in comparison. I was never contacted regarding any developments, I could never reach the consultant that was dealing with my search and after weeks of being registered with them, they didn't manage to uncover the right opportunities for me in the marketplace.
