"I am a recent post-graduate and once completing the course I was looking for suitable graduate schemes related to supply chains and logistics. I applied for a vacancy which the graduate recruitment bureau advertised on their website. One of the recruitment consultants, Ruby Bullimore, quickly responded to my application and provided me a range of other companies to interview for - in addition to the application I originally applied for. Ruby provided a great service from beginning to end and helped me learn about the recruitment process. Within a month from completing my masters I was placed in a graduate based role. I'd highly recommend their business to fellow graduates.They provide a friendly and supportive service which makes the application process a little less daunting."

New Job Title: International Trainee Recruitment Consultant
"I have only good feedback for GRB and especially for Gina Cluett. After searching for a position for a few months, Gina Cluett got in touch with me (through Zoe Hazelton) and she made everything happen in less than a week! At that time, I was supposed to be in UK for only 5 days before having to move back to my home country - Romania. After speaking to Gina, she put me through with the company where I am currently working. I could not be happier. The company is more than I was hoping it would be, it's the exact place where I dreamt of starting my career as a Recruitment Consultant. This being said, thank you GRB and especially to you, Gina, for making it happen so quickly. "

"GRB were brilliant in aiding me secure my first graduate role after university. The procedure was excellent. I was first emailed with a job spec, asking whether I was interested in the role. After answering yes, I was contacted by a junior recruiter the next day, later passed on to a more senior employee. My interests and experience was checked; I was given CV advice, tailoring my application for the role. Within a few hours I had a secured a first round interview with the advertised company. Interview assistance followed, outlining key questions to prepare solid answers for. Communication between myself, GRB and the company was excellent. GRB took a lot of care over me, ringing me to check how interviews went and finally to tell me I had secured the position. A brilliant, organised and caring agency."

"Excellent Experience. I had a really great experience with GRB. They were helpful and worked closely with me. They suggested improvements for my CV, and gave me great interview prep. They also carried out some of my phone interviews, which put me at ease, as I had already talked to them. Throughout the process I think the most valuable thing was the feedback from interviews I went to, that I wouldn't have otherwise got. This feedback made me feel better about a rejection I got, and gave me more confidence in future interviews. Another interview I thought had gone really badly turned out had gone a lot better than I thought! Overall it was a great experience and I am excited to start my new job on Monday! Thank you!"

"In terms of GRB, the services that you offered to me were very professional and very helpful in securing my first graduate job. The services offered made the process quick and painless! Right from the start, Owen was very supportive, informative and patient while I decided if I was choosing the right career path. Once it had been cleared up, Owen was very efficient and was in constant contact with myself and CBSbutler throughout the interview processes, giving me ideas on what to expect, tips on how to impress and generally making sure that I was confident in myself and my own abilities. On phoning up Owen and giving my feedback he was very understandable and listened to my thoughts and feelings about how the interviews went, giving me assurances and providing support if needed! Whenever Owen was unavailable, the rest of the GRB team were very friendly and a pleasure to speak to when I made contact with them. Feedback from the interviews were very fast and expressed well, and at no point did I feel unsatisfied with the relationship. The end result made everything that little bit sweeter for me as, obviously, that was my main goal when I first applied for the job! However, it was pleasing to have such a supportive team throughout the long interview processes (I had 5 interviews for the same company!) and I would thoroughly recommend any graduates seeking competitive graduate jobs in any sector to take fully advantage of GRB and the services that it offers."

"I have spent two weeks working in the Marketing team of GRB and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The work has been highly varied, from producing content for the website and scheduling tweets to helping sign up potential candidates at a graduate Careers Fair. Alongside the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the company, this has made my time with GRB a great experience. Working here has given me insight not only into the marketing strategies adopted by GRB, but also into the way that the business is run as a whole. What most impressed me about the company was the integrity in their approach to matching candidates to suitable jobs. GRB seem to really care about the candidates they are helping, and so their style is much more personal and effective than that of other recruitment companies I have experienced previously. This is evidenced by the number of successful candidates who are delighted that GRB have helped them into their dream careers. I would recommend using this company to anyone who is looking for their first graduate role - I will definitely be using their services myself after graduating."

"I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for everything during this entire period. You have been supportive every step of the way, preparing me fully for my interviews with clear and informative emails, and sometimes even lengthy telephone conversations. I have no doubt that if it wasn't for these efforts I would not have secured this job. Additionally, I would like to add that during these past few weeks of job searching I have spoken to a range of different recruitment consultants, both from the GRB and other companies, and you personally have by far exceeded my expectations in finding a role that suited my exact requirements as a graduate. From end to end I have felt comfortable and secure in the application procedure because of your professionalism and honesty. So thank you.
Furthermore, based on this experience I will certainly be referring other great graduates to the GRB above any other agencies, and you never know as I have just entered a HR role, in the future if I have to deal with the recruitment needs of the business, again GRB would certainly be at the top my list of point of contact!"

"I was originally contacted by another lady working for you about a role in based in Surrey, I explained that I couldn't do the commute as I already live quite far the other side of London (Tring) so would rather work in London. She helpfully passed me on to Danielle who found the role I am currently working in now. Danielle was extremely helpful throughout the whole interview process, giving me any extra information she could find and advice on what the employers might ask and what they were looking for. She was also very good with ringing before the interview and after to hear how it went and I thought the chocolate sent to my new office at work was a nice touch. I couldn't recommend GRB highly enough she was great. I love my new job and am so glad I am finally doing something related to my degree after nearly a year of searching and working in a completely dead end job!"
