Exceptional service from Rosie Moretto

We recently hired a Payroll Specialist through The Portfolio Group, and the experience with Rosie Moretto was genuinely outstanding.

From the start, Rosie sent CVs that perfectly matched with what we were looking for. Every candidate was highly experienced and of an excellent standard. We actually ended up with three incredibly strong candidates, and successfully hired one of them.

Rosie comes across as extremely genuine, approachable, and highly competent at what she does. Normally, we receive CVs and manage all candidate communication and the offer process internally. However, Rosie was so transparent, professional, and strong in her role that I felt completely comfortable entrusting her to handle the candidate communication and coordination throughout the process.

I genuinely wish more recruiters operated the way she does, she's a real asset to The Portfolio Group.

We’re absolutely delighted with both the service and the hire we’ve made. Thank you, Rosie.

Kierr Archibald

The recruiter i dealt with was Kierr Archibald , he was simply incredible! made the process so smooth and simple and had me feeling more than prepared for my interview. Kierr provides an excellent service to people looking for employment and couldn’t thank him enough. It ended in me receiving a job offer and i simply couldn’t fault him.

Fantastic experience from day one!

After many months of applying for positions without any feedback from other recruitment companies, I got a call from Gillian Owen from The Portfolio Group. She was so friendly and helpful, and believed in me and my experience for the role. She gave me the support I needed before the interview, and I am sure that without her I wouldn't have been offered the job of payroll consultant. I am extremely grateful to Gillian, and would recommend the Portfolio Group to anyone who's looking for professionalism as well as support to candidates!

Supportive Recruiters

Portfolio Manchester recently helped me get a job with a company I was really interested in. My recruiter, Lucy, was so supportive and kept me informed the whole time. She really helped push the employer along when they were taking ages! Thanks Lucy, you're a star!

Portfolio Group went that extra step. Impressive

I had a visit from Barney Sullivan today. Barney took the time to come and visit me in London at the premises of my latest assignment. This really showed me that Barney cares about getting to know his candidates and understand what each candidate can offer potential clients. I was really impressed with Barney's knowledge and experience. The Portfolio Group have really impressed me and I really look forward to working with Barney and their team going forward.

I would highly recommend George and he is a true pleasure to the company. Throughout my whole process he was always checking in to see how I was doing and made sure I was fully prepared for the assessment day.Furthermore he was present on the assessment day and really made me feel welcome which goes a long way when you are feeling nervous! Thankyou to George and also to the company!
