What our candidates say.

If you'd like to know what it's like to work with us, here are some words from our candidates.

Working with ecm.

“I found ECM very helpful. They briefed me in advanced on the employer so that I had plenty of time to prepare and understand what is involved in each role. ECM also kept in touch with me suggesting new ideas over the 6 months I was job seeking. I would use ECM again because they have strong links in the Cambridge area.”

“Sorry that this is very cliche but: I have worked with a few different recruitment companies and ECM is definitely the most punctual, organised, personal and professional. Many other recruitment companies either try to get you to apply to loads of different positions at loads of random companies, or alternatively they can be very elusive and difficult to get back in contact with after the initial application. I feel as though ECM takes the time to select just a few companies that they believe you would suit and they tend to be a very good match, the process is very transparent and there is no pressure to choose every position that they select for you. I also like that ECM recruits for all levels of seniority, hence I will be in contact in the future!”

“I hadn't used a recruitment agency before so can only compare ECM with the recruiters who contacted me as a result of my CV going up on Indeed (who weren't very helpful), and also with some experience of recruiters' methods through helping with the hiring process whilst at [former companies]. I believe [my consultant] put significant effort into finding the right small number of vacancies based on understanding my skill set and (by extension) into finding the right selection of candidates for your clients. He also chased my application to the seriously-interesting company past the phone interview stage, while they dithered a bit - they liked me but I wasn't an exact fit to the job specs they had. I found [my consultant]'s practical, helpful and realistic approach reassuring at a time when I'd been shocked by finding myself unemployed.”

“I have been extremely impressed with the service from ECM and [my consultant]. The response to my online application to your agency was swift and I was pleased with the selection of potential jobs. [My consultant] was also willing to go the extra mile to send in some prospective applications on my behalf. I would happily return to ECM in the future and I would recommend you without any hesitation.”

“I would definitely use ECM again. [My consultant] was very knowledgeable in my subject area and found a number of great job opportunities for me. Besides this, he provided valuable advice on both my CV and other questions I had regarding the process. I felt the service provided was very personalised and he would always respond quickly and thoughtfully in any correspondence. From the service I received I will definitely use ECM again as a first priority should the need arise, and gladly recommend it to friends.”
