Darren Wheeler

It has been interesting working with you as a candidate and I have been seriously impressed and delighted with your service on my behalf.  

Tess Duffell

I came across Granite Search via a friend’s recommendation who had successfully secured 2 jobs with their help. I am a qualified architect and wanted  to make the switch to design management with a Contractor or Developer. Granite Search responded to my first query straightaway. Within a day I met my recruiter Sofia to go through my CV and discuss potential roles. Sofia was extremely professional and to the point. She organised 2 interviews for me with a large contractor and within 2 weeks I received a job offer which I subsequently accepted. I would highly recommend Sofia and the team at Granite Search for their quick and professional response and proactive attitude.” Many thanks again to Sofia & Granite Search team

Design Manager

Granite Search has been representing me throughout the last few months, whereby they arranged several interviews with reputable companies with whom my skill set has been very much suited. I am in my current temp-to-perm role because of there diligence and hard work and would definitely recommend Granite as a recruitment company of choice for construction professionals seeking employment. 

Bill Hicks

It has been interesting working with you as a candidate and I have been seriously impressed and delighted with your service on my behalf. In an industry where most recruiters give you false promises and set your hopes high to imaginary and non-existent prospects, Granite are a breath of fresh air. Not only have they shown a diligent and a dedicated attitude, they carefully considered my future prospects and sought to find me an opportunity that would best suit me and allow me to progress accordingly.  My initial meeting comprised of me being adamant that I wanted to remain freelance and nothing else, whilst still remaining an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who would eventually move on to be become a Project QS. I am now working for Cosmur Construction as Project QS on a permanent basis with a salary close to what I was earning as a freelancer, this alone is a perfect example of how Granite are able to understand what the candidate requires as well as meeting the needs of the client. Granite make a difference selflessly, the aim of the game is to make money but they do it the right way, the way in which as a candidate you’d feel obliged to give your trust and loyalty knowing that your best interests are being put first! Lastly, Granite are supportive in every sense of the word, whether it’s her messaging you on a Sunday or messaging you at 6 o’clock in the morning making sure you’re up, ready and confident for your interview! I could continue to natter on about how grateful I am for all of their efforts but I’ll stop here. Nonetheless I sincerely hope that there will be other candidates who will be fortunate enough to have Granite in their corner to help them achieve their desired goals!

After completing a placement with a Tier 1 Main Contractor I was looking for further work.  I approached a number of recruitment agencies, Granite Search being one.  Granite Search were very approachable and their enquiry into my situation was concise, valid and efficient.  This led me to accepting a placement offered through Granite Search.  Granite Search also dealt with an administrative hurdle part way through my placement which they closed out satisfactorily with minimal inconvenience to myself.  Invoicing & payments were effected very well which is extremely important to me and my business.  I would have no hesitation in recommending any potential candidate to engage with Granite Search.

Following a preliminary call with a Granite Executive Resourcer, we agreed to meet at their offices to review the roles and come up with a strategy for each. This was fantastic as it clearly showed me that these guys weren’t just interested in the numbers, they wanted to actually fit me into a role that I would succeed in and also satisfy their clients requirements. The interview process for me was over 3 stages and Granite Executive were in constant communication giving me key feedback and allowing me to host mock interviews with them prior to completing the stages. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the process to secure my current role as Project Director, and having Granite there with me I believe was key to me successfully landing the appointment.

Jake Chadwick

What can I say, one of the most 'on the ball' recruitment professionals I have ever come across in my life!! Without a doubt finding the perfect role for you is their gift! Their ability to listen to your needs and advice you and point you into the right direction is phenomenal.  Granite is extremely proactive, and delivers anything they promise, They have a unique personable touch, where you do not feel uncomfortable to disclose anything unlike other recruitment professionals, and with the transparency there were able to get me into interviews for exactly what I wanted.  Overall, genuine, not your usual scripted interrogating approach we all receive elsewhere. I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone else to help young and enthusiastic candidates with their search.

I decided to return to work in January this year having taken retirement in the previous year. Not really expecting to find anything suitable. Granite were able to source a Client in my hometown who needed assistance on a multi-million pound residential project being constructed in the City. The contract was for six months which was ideal for me and I have just recently returned to my retirement life. Throughout the six months I found Granite to be a thoroughly professional Company who genuinely showed concern and interest in the work being carried out. I would again express my sincere thanks to the Granite team for their outstanding service and would have no hesitation in using them again in the future should the need arise.

After completion of a contract with my previous employer, I contacted Granite Search. The agency’s help with my search was nothing but exceptional. The staff are very professional and arranged an interview very quickly. They clearly explained their terms and conditions, and I found them to be very honest, reliable and transparent. All paperwork and payments are always made on time. Overall, I would highly recommend them!

Granite provided me with an excellent bespoke service that catered to my exact needs. They took the time to understand my background, my capability and what I was looking for. Not only did they find me a fitting role, they made sure to regularly check in with me up to 6 months after being placed. This sort of service is what will ensure that I always use or recommend Granite moving forward.  

Shanice Williams

  Granite's interviewing process was one of the most in-depth recruiter interviews I have had. Following on from that I felt confident that not only did they have a good understanding of my experience, but what I was looking for in a role and a business. The communication throughout the process was faultless and was a great pleasure to deal with the team at Granite.   I am thoroughly enjoying my role that they placed me in and would always recommend them to anyone I know who was searching for a new job or needing employees.

Granite met with me in their offices and subsequently arranged 5 quick successive interviews. Their guidance and professionalism helped me be ready for each one. Many thanks for helping me progress my career.   

Pierre Legrand

I have worked with Granite over years and they have represented and placed me before. Granite are professional in their approach, take into consideration your ideals and do their best to keep you updated at all times. They have good knowledge of the market and in particular their clients, they are very honest and act as consultants rather than recruiters. If I was to look again in the future, they would be my first point of contact.

Graham Fletcher-Campbell

I used Granite when I started my job search and they provided a brilliant service. Granite came down to meet me and went through everything in detail and constructed an action plan to get me my ideal job. They are very particular, thorough and know what they are doing when representing you. They  make sure that you are kept updated at all times, prepare you for your interviews and give you all the information and advice you need before seeing a potential employer. I have recommended Granite to others and would definitely use them in the future if I do ever look.

I have worked with Granite Search for 15 years. The team has always delivered opportunities that fit both my skill set and desire to progress in the industry. Granite’s knowledge of contractors and professional companies in the commercial fit out industry is unsurpassed.  

Simon Richardson

Just reaching out to express my thanks at the courtesy call you gave me after an interview I had with you over the phone in mid September 2019. You said I was 'looking for the next step' and that you were sure I would find something.  This message gave me a real lift at a difficult time where I was deep in the midst of a very challenging job hunt, and very much stuck in the experience trap! I have since found 'the next step', working on the operational/ account managing / technical side of a fintech startup and am really enjoying it. No doubt this kind of integrity has served you well and will continue to serve you well in the future. All the very best, James
