Proactive, good communication and surfaced roles which were extremely relevant to my search
Adam was a brilliant coach and communicator. He was super on top of providing feedback and interview insights. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
Great team to work with, only thing I would advise to look into is to review on what's working / what not especially around candidates that are a better fit.
Adam was fantastic throughout the entire recruitment process. He kept me informed at every stage, was always approachable and made the experience smooth and stress-free. I’d highly recommend working with him.
Working with Adam was an outstanding experience from start to finish, and I couldn't be happier with the support he provided in helping me secure my AE role. He combines exceptional professionalism with a genuine personal touch, making the entire process feel both seamless and supportive. His attention to detail ensured I was thoroughly prepared for every stage of the interview process. Adam was always on top of things, proactively communicating updates, anticipating next steps, and keeping everything moving smoothly. His expertise, responsiveness, and dedication gave me confidence throughout the journey.
Arran is someone that I have worked with for many years and understands the profile of candidate that I look for. He listens and takes on feedback when given. The process run is thorough and helps me to focus on my day job. Would highly recommend
Arran was great, very personable and professional from the outset. He clearly had a strong understanding of the placement company and role as well as the industry as a whole. I’d thoroughly recommend Arran to anyone searching for a role.
Arran was great from the first exchange on LinkedIn, through the offer stage. Professional, responsive and supportive all along. I've dealt with a few recruiters over the last couple of months and Arran stood out for sure. Highly recommend.
It was great working with Arran, who brings a lot of energy and passion to work he does. It genuinely feels like he’s working to ensure you get not just the right opportunity, but within the right circumstances too. Would recommend him and Zest to anyone.
Arran & Calum are both great - would highly recommend
Arran is very professional good at communicating and works very hard to understand his clients and meet their needs. He goes above and beyond and will work on timelines to meet expectations. I would recommend working with Arran and putting your trust into him, i have known him for years he is amazing!
Arran was fantastic from start to finish during the process. He kept me up to date at all times, listened to what my requirements were and delivered. I’d recommend Aaran and Add Some Zest, to any individual looking for a new role or organisation that are looking to hire.
Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Arran was genuinely the best recruiter I’ve worked with, very passionate, very high energy, always responsive outside of work hours, knowledgable and very hardworking. I felt he genuinely cared and took an interest. He would remember small details about things I said ages ago (whilst away from his notes). I felt he was truly fighting for me and he was very likeable and personable in his approach. On our last call I asked him if I could have his managers email to send a very positive review. I then said I would be very happy to promote him to friends / and to future employers. Truly 10/10, couldn’t recommend more, let me know if you have any questions at all - happy to chat.
Arran was great with me and has given me some really honest and useful guidance and feedback!
I had a really positive experience working with Add Some Zest throughout the process. Arran was supportive, responsive, and transparent at every stage, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well-managed. I especially appreciated the clear communication and preparation ahead of each interview, as it helped me feel confident and ready. Arran took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched me with an opportunity that genuinely aligned with my goals. Overall, it felt like a very personalised and professional service, and I’d definitely recommend Add Some Zest to anyone exploring new opportunities. I’m really grateful for the support in securing my new role.
Arran kept me up to date throughout the entire process and was very helpful when prepping
Have had my reservations when working with 'recruiters' that sometimes that don't quite understand their client(s), positioning roles maybe not suited. However working with Zest and in particular Arran, this has completely changed my opinion. Arran from the first call was incredible, he was always professional but wanted to understand his client (candidate) and make each engagement very personable. Zest are able to really filter things for those clients they are representing also, taking you through that initial F2F recorded screening and always being on hand with pointers both in terms of the role but also other positions a candidate could be considering. Arran recognised my frustrations especially given that many roles share generic 'thanks but no thanks' emails without any context. I would highly recommend Zest for anyone considering a move and naturally Arran if you want to engage with someone who really wants to help candidates and employers find the right roles.
You've restored my faith in recruiters Calum! Incredibly transparent and great comms (even late at night/on the weekends to fit around my work schedule), really helpful prepping me for interviews, and genuinely felt like you were looking out for my best interests.
Adam was amazing and easy to deal with
Adam Jennings was friendly and helpful!
Adam Jennings was extremely helpful throughout the process and provided quick and informative feedback at every stage of the interview process. Recommended!
The experience has been good. Arron has been proactive, informative and offers good advice. The positions we discussed met my requirements and the the job specification closely aligned with the interviewers I spoke with. Overall I'm very happy.
Lizzie was fantastic during the process
Extremely professional. Prepped me well for the process. Gave me options as to what I can do. Gave me wonderful constructive criticism to help me get to where I want to be. Shared many insights and gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process.
Adam was very attentive, He helped me a-lot prepare for the interviews and give me some advice on questions they might ask. If there was any questions or queries I had he was very helpful and was always around to help with very quick replies so overall very good experience
