I think what makes Rubyred Recruitment stand out from the rest is that they have a very personal approach, are incredibly friendly and professional, easy to work with, and will go out of their way to help you find the job you are looking for. I met both Sarah-Jane and Anna- Mari before my first interview and they helped make sure I was fully prepared and gave me really useful interview advice. I also had to work on a task for the second interview and the girls went out of their way, even when they were busy, to make sure I had all the information at my disposal from the client. Thank you Rubyred for all your help and advice, best of luck for the future.

HR Manager – Wessex Technology Group Plc (April 2008)
When I joined Wessex Technology Group recently, as their HR Manager one of my first challenges was within recruitment. My first thought was to contact Rubyred Recruitment as I felt certain they would be able to help us with our administrative and marketing staffing requirements. I was aware that they really get to know their candidates to ensure a good fit with each role and with the company: I didn’t want to waste time reviewing inappropriate applicants. I was not disappointed and found their service informative and professional ensuring my recruitment needs were met quickly and efficiently.

If you are on the hunt for media/creative jobs in the Bristol area, there’s only one agency you need to contact - Rubyred Recruitment.

Thanks to them I am now working at Aardman Animations and loving every minute of it. Thank you both for being so supportive – I’ll definitely recommend you to friends!
Zena – Marketing Candidate (April 2008)
The girls at Rubyred were so helpful in finding me a job. They made sure they knew exactly what job I wanted and got to know me and my capabilites in an informal interview then gave me constant support whilst applying for the job that I subsequently got. Within two weeks I had registered with Rubyred, attended two interviews, and been accepted for the job. Anna-Mari kept me informed all throughout the process, gave me lots of tips for the interview and was very approachable and friendly. I would recommend Rubyred to anyone.
Chris – Events Account Manager Candidate (February 2008)
After ending a seven year career with a highly respected publishing house, I turned to Rubyred amongst others to help me look for opportunities outside of my previous experiences. As a result I found Rubyred to be a cut above the masses of recruitment agencies out there. Both Sarah-Jane and Anna-Mari really listened to my core values and went the extra mile in helping me get the role that was truly right for me. A service that seems to be extremely rare within the recruitment industry. Thank you so very much guys!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you. Both candidates are really “top notch” and are fitting in well in their new departments. One has already proved to be an excellent designer and the other a skilled sales executive. It is rare to find an agency who can excel in design, linguistic and sales vacancies.
