Lizzie was a great help throughout the process. She took a call from me before each stage and gave some great tips and insight. Couldn’t recommend zest and Lizzie enough!
Great experience with Zest as always. Bringing good people in is often an organisations biggest challenge. Investment in tech, change of process, great ideas... it all falls short without the right people executing. Zest help us connect the dots between what we need, and who can bring it. Would highly recommend!
Adam was excellent throughout the process helping us recruit excellent SDRs in a difficult location. Really attentive to both candidate and hiring business throughout, thank you for your hard work and dedication Adam 10/10
Adam was excellent to communicate with and even when there hadn't been updates from the employer would communicate what was happening.
Adam is a very diligent recruiter who helped me with every step of the process from initially explaining the role and company in detail, prep ahead of calls & meetings and I felt he always gave me 100% effort and energy throughout the process.
Adam Jennings got in touch about an opportunity via LinkedIn. Our initial conversation efficiently established my fit for the role and clarified expectations. He then supported me through a competitive interview process. I ultimately accepted another opportunity, but his support throughout the process was exceptional. He provided very practical, insightful advice tailored to each interview round and the company. He also made himself available for prep calls before each round.
Adam was great, very proactive and support the process well. I liked the video interview software as well.
a fast and transparent process. good allignment between recruiter and client. there have been many times where i've used external recruiter advice in an interivew and it's backfired on me. that wasn't the case here.
Arran was sound, from the minute we had our first initial call, to a virtual meeting, there was clear communication into what was going to happen next, how long it was going to roughly take to go from the Interview to being offered a contract. Arran also offered some great advice when it came to handing in my notice at my current company and how to go about this with my manager.
Adam is great!
I've spoken with both Adam Jennings and Arran Collymore. Both have been extremely professional, helpful and transparent. You can tell that they really care about finding the right roles for their clients, and work hard to ensure alignment is right for all parties.
Arran was fantastic throughout, very knowledgeable and great communication through every step. Top work
They are professional, responsive, and consistently deliver high-quality service. Overall, it has been a very positive experience. Communication is clear, and they have a very friendly yet highly professional attitude.
Very helpful throughout the whole process
Adam provided outstanding professional recruitment support throughout my hiring process. He was extremely responsive, transparent, and supportive at every stage, ensuring clear communication and timely updates. His guidance, professionalism, and genuine commitment made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate his efforts and highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated recruitment professional.
We had an excellent experience with Add Some Zest. The team demonstrated a deep understanding of our specific hiring needs right from the start and moved incredibly quickly to deliver a strong shortlist of candidates. They effectively filtered out unsuitable or lower-quality applicants early on, which meant we spent only a fraction of the time we normally would on screening and reviewing profiles. As a result, we reached a high-quality, well-matched shortlist with minimal effort on our side, delivering significant time and cost savings overall. I would highly recommend Zest to any organization looking to streamline their recruitment process.
Arran led me through multiple stages of the interview process, accommodating to my busy schedule and very different time zones of the process participants. Very patient, factual, and organised. I felt well guided and informed throughout the journey.
Gave good information before each interview. Would work with Arran again
I had a great experience with Zest. Im delighted to say I got the role and this was hugely due to Adam’s support and care in managing the communication between his client and myself, providing coaching and feedback, and making sure I saw the process through despite me having the occasional wobble. Thank you Adam!
Adam was helpful regarding the job role and checked in regularly - Would recommend
I had the pleasure of working with Adam throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He maintained constant communication, checked in to ensure I had everything I needed and made sure I felt prepared for each step. He was patient, kind, and never rushed me, taking the time to answer all of my questions and provide guidance. He also helped coordinate interviews and facilitated the verbal offer process, making the experience smooth and stress-free. His support made a significant difference, and I truly appreciate his professionalism and care.
Good advice, fast comms and all round good service
Good communication. Kept me up to date on progress well. Keep up the good work
The Zest team did an amazing job finding the perfect candidate for the role we were recruiting for. Arran quickly grasped our needs and found the right person in no time.
Communication was always on point and very responsive at all times. Arran was an amazing person to talk to and to work with !
