I was in contact with Mr. Adam. He scheduled the interview at a convenient time and clearly explained the job requirements, which made the interview process smooth and professional

Adam was great the entire way through the recruitment process. Regular check ins to keep me up to date with what’s going on from the company/role side were super useful, you often feel like you’ve been forgotten about either because a company isn’t interested or they’ve just been slow to respond, but Adam made sure I was up to date throughout. Adam also did a great job out understanding what I wanted from the next step in my career and worked to align the right opportunity to that.

I don’t usually write feedback, but this time I had such a great experience with Add Some Zest that I wanted to share it. At first, I was skeptical because I often think companies like this might be a scam, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I received a response. Adam, who assisted me throughout the process, was incredibly proactive, flexible with his schedule, and very understanding about what would be a good fit for me. I genuinely felt listened to and treated like a real person from start to finish.

I have had a very good experience working with Adam in the past and this time round has been no exception despite not finding the job offer of my dreams....yet! Adam is very personable, attentive and has taken the time to get to know me to understand what roles and companies I'm best suited to. We had an unusual situation this time when a job offer was withdrawn because I had another interview process still to complete. This was no fault of Adam's whatsoever and he took the time to check in with me afterwards which showed he had my best interests at heart. This IMO is going above and beyond the role of a typical recruiter and was very much appreciated. I can't recommend these guys enough! Keep up the great work ❤️

Adam and Arran are by far the best recruiters I've ever worked with, they have placed me before and found me very suitable roles to consider during my job hunting. They're personable and genuinely care for their candidates and clients. I'll be letting them know the next time I'm in the job market! Keep up the great work guys!

Frequently asked questions

What does verified mean?

Each response comes from a genuine client or candidate interaction recorded in the business's CRM. Talent Analytics sends the survey and receives the response directly, and the business cannot write, edit, hide or delete it. Comments are published as written and anonymised.

How is the score calculated?

Net Promoter Score is the percentage of promoters (scores of 9 and 10) minus the percentage of detractors (scores of 0 to 6), on a scale from -100 to +100. It uses every verified response from the last 12 months, including passives and detractors, not only the comments shown. Each response is included in the rating automatically as soon as it is received.

What do World-class, Excellent and Pending mean?

World-class is an overall NPS of +70 or above. Excellent is +50 to +69. A rating needs at least 50 verified responses in the last 12 months. Below that, a profile shows Pending.

Why are only promoter comments shown?

Written comments are shown only from verified promoters. The score still reflects all verified responses, so it is not based on the comments alone.

Can a tier or ranking be bought?

No. Tier and rank come only from the verified score. The only things a business can buy are experience management products, which help it handle and prevent negative experiences and improve its service. That can raise a score by improving the service behind it. It cannot buy the score. The score is a verified record of how the business performed.

How often is this updated?

Each response counts as soon as it is received. Tiers are recalculated monthly.

How does a recruitment business get a verified profile?

By measuring client and candidate feedback with Talent Analytics. A profile goes live at 25 verified responses and builds from the first response.
