This agency is the best on the planet, they call and check on me every time and ensured to answer my questions whenever I have one
Best Agency
I have never experience such a very good service
Absolutely an amazing, life changing experience. Efficient, responsive professionals.
I have been a contractor for many years now. And worked for well known brands in contracting and agency work. I haven't come across anything like the service I was provided with at Civic Recruitment, in terms of the people I liaised with during all the stages of recruitment process ( Logan and Louise mainly). They've been ever so cool, well mannered, perfect people in general! This I don't often say about everyone! But these two (Louise and Logan) deserves all, as they've given me a massive lift in my overall professional standing! Thanks to both!
John Olowo
I was contacted by Louise, who found my CV online.
It was a great surprise to find that "there was a job going" locally, just down the road in fact. What is more, it was just my line of work, given my experience, and suits my requirements perfectly! I would definitely not have found this without her so thank you (attach virtual flowers).

This is my first time experience working for an agency, however with the support from the Civic Recruitment Limited staff members; this has been a positive experience. Without Logan’s expertise in consultation, l don’t think l would be writing this review. All l can say is that Logan has changed my life. Teamwork with Louise they have made me feel at home. Excellent communication skills. Will recommend Civic Recruitment Limited to anyone who has less experience working with an agency.

I hadn’t done agency work before, so it was all new to me.
But Louise explained everything as we went along and even phoned me on the morning of my interview to wish me luck. All very friendly and efficient and the job opportunity perfectly matched my skill set.
