Victoria was brilliant – as I am sure you are aware, when doing a search for a private PA, and particularly for someone who has never had a private PA before can be challenging as often it is all about the chemistry. Victoria was great at wanting to keep going to ensure that we found the right individual.
So a really positive experience – I quite miss talking to Victoria!
It has been a pleasure to deal with your team. Always very responsive and supportive of the brief. As agreed, a good variety of candidates, all very skilled and suited for the role.
This really helps me select great candidates to present with confidence.
No doubt, when the time comes, you will again be my first point of contact.
I am very humbled to have known Bain & Gray for so many years and I was very happy that it was your team, in particular Camilla, that has found this role for me. Camilla had a superb eye to know that this role would be perfect for me and I am ever so grateful for it. Camilla also only suggested roles that were suitable, which I greatly appreciated, as I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. The whole process from start to finish was extremely professional, not that I would have expected anything else. I honestly have only good things to say about Camilla, her professional approach, her keen eye and the way my job search was handled.
Flora was brilliant and very patient. Suzannah is a perfect fit. Delighted with the service and the end result.
Teula is easily the best hire I’ve made in years. All of the candidates we took to interview stage were very strong, and all could have easily done the job well I’m sure – which compared with the results we usually get with candidates at the interview stage is refreshing and very welcome.
Victoria did a great job of presenting a range of candidates, all strong, that spanned the range of ‘qualified enough’ to ‘probably significantly overqualified but still worth considering’ – which is exactly what I wish more of our recruiters would do
I must also commend Victoria on her patience during the recruitment process, we had a lot going on at work, which resulted in numerous push-backs and delays, which she handled with grace and a much appreciated lack of pushiness that is all too common with recruiters.
Overall I would absolutely recommend working with your firm to a friend, and if we do have need of more EA/PA staffing in the future I would certainly come to you first
Hetty and Alice are always so quick to help us with our requests, they are informative and always give us a high calibre of candidates to choose from.
Overall we know that when we come to Hetty and Alice with a role we are most likely going to find a good, organised, self-sufficient candidate
We do wish to thank you all for your hard work and all your help in helping us find candidates.
Sarah has settled in really well, she is already doing a great job and we are really pleased to have her as a member of the team.
I have nothing but positive feedback on Lucinda and the whole process with Bain and Gray. Lucinda and Tray came in to meet myself and Morgan (CEO), they really listened to our brief and sent through some strong candidates. We even rejected Sarah on paper but Lucinda really recommended we meet with her, and I am so glad we listened to her!
Lucinda was thorough, transparent and efficient, so all positive from our side – thank you so much!
I was delighted with the service thank you. And we will definitely be in touch should we have a future need you can help with but hopefully not for me personally for a long while!
We received a great service and a very appropriate slate of candidate in a very short time frame under increasing pressured time frames. The service was excellent and we found a superb new hire.
‘Bain and Gray have supported us to recruit EA & Office Manager roles. They work hard to understand our company culture and in turn present candidates who would fit well in our work environment. Candidates are engaged and communicated with at every stage which is extremely important to me.’
‘We were very impressed with your service and the level of candidates that you sent and certainly will be using you in the future.’
I have really enjoyed working with Victoria. She has placed two high calibre candidates with us recently and the recruitment experience has been really positive
Bain and Gray has been a great support to the team. They have always been very helpful and the candidates have always been efficient and always a pleasure to work with. Thank you!
I’ve loved working with B&G. Everything was super professional, responsive and supportive. I felt my preferences as a candidate were heard and they managed to find me the most wonderful role! I have and will continue to refer all of my fellow PA friends who are in the market for a new job. B&G is definitely my go-to.
Thus far, my experience with Bain and Gray has been wonderful. We were on a tight time frame and Flora immediately produced a number of quality candidates. Flora was responsive and understood what our needs were and very professional throughout the process. I also appreciated her interest in visiting the office as the work environment is obviously relevant to the process. She accommodated the tight schedule by getting out to the office on short notice, something that not all recruiters do.
Dear Charlotte, I am officially employed in a permanent job. I couldn’t have done this without you. I am so very grateful.
Camilla - I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work over the years in securing me my mat cover and lots of interviews. Ladies, you are two of the best recruiters I have known over the last 9 years. I will be sure to stay in touch and you will be my first port of call if I am ever job hunting again.
“Bain and Gray are an extremely professional organisation, it is so refreshing to work with an agency that actually understand the role of a PA does and the significance of this role, they do all the hard work for you, submitting only the most suitable candidates of the highest calibre. The team are a pleasure to work with.”
“We are relatively new clients of Bain & Gray. Given the first class candidates they provided us over the last 18 months, both temporary and permanent, we will most certainly be back! The entire team at B&G are a pleasure to work with!”
We have worked closely with Bain & Gray for over 10 years – it is a successful partnership where we trust their judgement. They are thoughtful and professional and have provided us with many polished, team-oriented Executive Assistants over the years.
Bain and Gray sourced candidates for an office support role of ours. They were very efficient and knowledgeable about recruitment and the candidate market. They took the time to understand both our company culture and the ideal candidate that we were looking for. Within a very short timeframe we received some candidate profiles and after some very successful interviews we hired a great candidate who has is doing very well within our team.
"Bain and Gray have provided us with an invaluable new member to our team. Their service was attentive throughout, listening to our requirements and matching the right person with us. We would definitely use their services again.”
I’d like to say a huge thank you for all your work of the last couple of months. I really appreciate how professional and efficient you’ve been in placing me and supporting me during my timing temping at Cera. I will definitely be recommending Bain & Gray to anybody I know who is thinking of temping. You’ve made the whole thing really easy and conducted yourselves with such warmth and enthusiasm. Thanks so much!
The team at Bain and Gray were fantastic. They were incredibly efficient, setting me up with a number of interviews within days of me registering with them. I really appreciated that they put me forward for roles that suited my interests and long-term career goals and am really happy with the position I accepted. Hetty has been so friendly and approachable throughout and I would definitely go back to Bain and Gray again. I’ve already recommended them to several friends.
Due to the recent merge of the company, there have been several new roles created, and Bain and Gray have been instrumental in our recruitment process providing us with excellent candidates every time. The personal service they provide is outstanding taking into consideration our timelines and requirements well, finding the right cultural fit and as a result we have highly engaged and professional employees they have sourced for us.
I just wanted to write a brief email to say an enormous thank you to you and the rest of the team for all your help and support. You have been absolutely wonderful and by far the most reliable and honest agency I have had contact with. I have had total confidence in you and your advice throughout the past few months, and am absolutely thrilled to accept this job. You have made what seemed almost unobtainable a reality. I will certainly be recommending you to any friends or connections in the future.
