I am happy to recommend Giles as a recruiter in the hospitality and leisure sector. I have known him for circa 15 years and during that period I have found his advice and knowledge of the hospitality and leisure markets to be spot on. Having used Giles and his team at AdMore to recruit for me on a number of occasions, I have always been more than happy to recommend him to people in my network and peer group if they are recruiting or need to consider finding a new role themselves.

As a client I have always felt listened to, challenged when necessary and feel that the advice given is routed in knowledge and experience of the market. I highly recommend Giles and his team at AdMore and it really does feel like a partnership when using their services.

One of the few consistently good guys in hospitality and leisure recruitment."

“From the moment AdMore was recommended to me as a solution to finding personnel, I have been totally impressed with their support and commitment to ensuring I interviewed the right calibre of applicant. The service is personal, meeting up with me first to get a better understanding of my company, my team and my style of management and expectations of a potential applicant.

The groundwork they did to ensure I did not waste any of my precious time seeing people who would not be suitable was invaluable. They have found me two great applicants to join the team in areas of the country that are renowned for being difficult to recruit in. I would recommend AdMore to anyone with a vacancy in my industry that needs filling”

“We work in a fast paced environment and when working with a recruitment agency I am looking to work with a recruitment partner who can preselect candidates for me. Russell has spent a lot of time getting to know the culture and fit of our business as well as his candidates which means the people I see are strong candidates.

I have worked with AdMore on a number of roles in recent years, predominantly in middle/senior management roles. They have always provided me with a good selection of candidates and we have been able to appoint on several occasions.

I have no hesitation in recommending AdMore to others”

“I have worked with Russell for over 10 years and have found him to genuinely value building long term relationships with both candidates and clients. This has enabled there to be a very deep understanding on both sides of the requirements of any new roles.

Russell and AdMore have successfully placed a number of Operational and Technical roles with me in different locations across the UK over this period of time. His understanding of the brief and ability to deliver a credible shortlist at pace was impressive and enabled us to meet our business requirements, often while working within some very demanding time constraints.

Russell and his team successfully handle the process from taking the brief through to offer stage and follow up with successful candidates once they have started in role. This 'cradle to grave' approach is very refreshing and gives me great confidence in using AdMore whenever I have a complex specific resourcing requirement on a one off basis or when needing a volume of recruitment to be completed”

I could not recommend Suzanne enough as a retail focused recruiter. I used her personally for all of my buying and merchandising needs as a Trading Director and even sent her hard to fill unique roles.

She listed to my needs, did in depth research in the market to meet my needs, make sure there were cultural fits all before recommending a candidate. She always found me someone I wanted. I’d use her again in a heartbeat!

I have worked with Suzanne on various recruitment opportunities I have had in my team and highly recommend her as an individual who has helped me find some brilliant talent. Suzanne has really taken the time to get to know our business, the function I represent and myself in terms of the calibre and fit of the person I was seeking.

She's always made herself available for catch up's, whether that has been in our offices or on the phone. I also happen to really enjoy working with Suzanne on the roles I am recruiting for, she's been a great person to chat to and bounce ideas off and help my thinking on team structure for the future.

“Once we had decided to integrate an assessment centre into our recruitment process, AdMore seemed the obvious choice to assist us with this. From the planning phase through to running the assessment days, our candidates were fully engaged with the process and the way in which AdMore operated only served to heighten our corporate brand.

The quality of candidate AdMore introduced us to was exceptionally high, and together with the depth of their team’s knowledge and experience really helped make this recruitment process not only a success but also insightful and enjoyable. Without doubt we would definitely invite AdMore to assist us with this process again.”

“I have known Giles and the team at AdMore for nearly 15 years and over that time I have found his and their advice, guidance, knowledge and understanding of the retail market to be informed and up to date.

I have always felt listened to, challenged when necessary and that he really has my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Giles and his team at AdMore and over the course of my career I have always been in touch when necessary and have always felt that I have received straight forward advice and honesty.

I can highly recommend Giles for recruitment and it really does feel like a partnership when dealing with him. Stands out from the pack as a recruiter"

I, like most, had a choice of search firms but Russell's patience and long term approach to build meaningful relationships certainly resonated with me. My instinct was rewarded with Russell delivering a top candidate, whom I have since employed. It is great credit to Russell that he never pressurises nor patronises. He is someone whom I have grown to trust and indeed use as a sounding board as I continue my search for high calibre candidates. I also had the pleasure of working with Russell Adams as a candidate last year.

His professionalism, integrity and sensitivity shone through from the off. Russell's key strength is that he really does listen and my confidence in him was clearly reciprocated by the other organisations with which he was engaged. I ultimately did not secure a role through AdMore but it is great testimony to him and his team that they were the first choice for me when I was searching for a high calibre candidate in my current role. Would I recommend Russell? Yes I most certainly would! He stands out for his integrity and in an industry where reputation is all, AdMore will not be found wanting.

AdMore has been working with us for about a year, though I personally have only recently begun working with them. They have a very people-centric approach that goes beyond just matching skills and experience to our requirements; their ability to widen our brief and source candidates is as good as I have experienced.

They understand our culture and are easily able to translate that in to their screening process which is hugely useful when time is constantly at a premium. The phrase quality over quantity is too often used, but is very pertinent with this straight-forward, easy to work with recruitment partner, and that is what they are; a partner. Their service doesn’t just stop at basic recruiting though. They have conducted a couple of external benchmarking audits for us allowing us to truly understand our competition. The feedback has helped us to shape our attraction strategy and drive efficiencies in our recruitment processes. It’s still early days but I am confident that their suggestions will drive true value both to our business, and more importantly our candidates!

I have known Suzanne and AdMore for many years.

Unlike many recruiters Suzanne and the team get to the bottom of your needs and react really well to the brief. Suzanne has helped find me a role in the past and has helped me recruit brilliantly for my current team. I cannot praise her commitment and tenacity more. If you need a new role or need to recruit and want genuine support, Suzanne and her team are your people to go to!

I have worked with many recruiters over the last 10 years to resource senior operators in retail roles. The experience for both company and candidate provided by Admore Recruitment has been second to none during the last year. Their knowledge of the market and the relationship that they quickly built with me and my colleagues has been excellent.

The quality of candidates and the support and responsiveness that is given is quite remarkable given the fast paced nature of their work in an ever changing environment. The candidates that we have recruited have been equally as positive about their relationships and experiences with AdMore right the way through to their on-boarding into the company.

I have no hesitation in recommending AdMore and hope for a long and fruitful experience as we continue to grow our business and the talent we require.

AdMore designed and delivered a number of very useful and engaging workshops on topics that included CV writing, interview techniques, conducting an effective job search and using social media. Feedback following their sessions was really positive and the students enjoyed input from an external provider. Working with AdMore has been a very easy and valuable experience and we can’t wait to welcome them back.
