Housing Recruitment Specialists

“Adam has been brilliant. He has kept me in the loop every step of the way and has been really supportive in the lead up to and after the interview. Now we have a start date and going into the final stage again he has been great.”

“The team at Social Housing Recruitment (Adam & Reece) from start to finish have been the exemplary professionals that I’d expect to see from a company as prestigious as SHR, I really could not commend them enough for the guidance they’ve shown from explaining the nature of the role to who the client is to the first stage and second stage interviews to answering questions that I wanted to clarify before accepting their offer of employment. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the team (it obviously helps that I’ve got the job) irrespective of the outcome they’ve been a great help. Going forwards I will certainly recommend anyone in my network that may be looking for their next opportunity to yourselves.”

“I have a long history of working with SHR and have a good relationship with several of the staff, especially Aleks. SHR has grown steadily over the years and has become the largest and most respected agencies for Social Housing H&S positions. I have nothing but praise and positive thoughts about everything which SHR has and continues to do for me and my teams, and no doubt others in our organisation will also soon experience the great services you provide for other housing roles.”

"I have known Reece for about 10 years and I would thoroughly recommend him. In this time he has always shown himself to be a consummate professional and strives to understand the requirements of candidates and for positions that they are interested in. I have worked with him as a candidate seeking new opportunities and also as a recruiter for new team members. He is honest and I value his opinions and views of roles and candidates and works hard to try to match appropriately for those roles."

"We have been extremely impressed with the calibre of candidates submitted to us, along with the thorough process and approach the team at Social Housing Recruitment took. This enabled us to have an extremely tough choice between four appointable candidates at final stage interview. Furthermore, our internal candidate felt supported through the process and whilst she was unsuccessful, it improved her engagement with our organisation."

"Reece and Adam have both been absolutely brilliant. They gave me lots of advice and things to think about prior to the interview. They were both really supportive and encouraging. I do believe they had my best interests at heart and genuinely wanted to make sure it was the right career move for me. When I was successful in securing the role, they were both so pleased and excited for me which was really lovely. I hope they raised a virtual glass of something with me to celebrate."

“I found the whole experience with Reece really positive, from explaining the role and the organisation to his support in setting up an informal chat with the hiring manager to the interview process and feedback. I've not gone for a role via a recruitment specialist before and was really pleased with the process and support provided.”

“Adam has been amazing. His people skills and communication are 10/10. I want to put in a compliment for Adam as he really helped me prepare for this interview and helped with my CV. His direction and guidance lead me to this role and I don’t think I would’ve done it without him.“

“From the start, Adam showed an interest in me as a candidate. He phoned me out of the blue and after introductions, kept me on the phone, a feat in itself! Adam provided the details of the job offer in a way that made it clear and attractive and convinced me to apply for a role when at the time I wasn't looking!? Adam come across as a natural communicator and was extremely helpful to the job application, spending time going through what was expected and then spending time going through an online team meeting as a mock interview when I explained that I hadn't done too many. In all Adam was supportive, keen and very professional and was an important part in a successful application. He coached me in a way that encouraged me to be a better online candidate and spent time follow up, I certainly believe it was Adams efforts with me that landed a successful first and second interview. Please pass on my thanks and gratitude for all of Adams hard work.”

"Social Housing Recruitment have a great knowledge of the requirements of various roles within the fire sector and understand the required technical ability needed for such opportunities in the market. I would highly recommend them for any fire safety staffing related needs!"

“Working with Adam has been very good. He is very helpful and knowledgeable. I am glad he persisted in contacting me until I attended the interview, otherwise I wouldn't have the been looking for a job which would have made me happier! Thank you very much for everything!”

"I highly recommend Reece for any recruitment needs. He consistently demonstrate professionalism, efficiency, and a deep understanding of both the job market and the needs of his clients. His ability to match candidates with the right opportunities is truly impressive. I've had the pleasure of working with Reece in both capacity of hirer and candidate, and each time he has exceeded expectations. His dedication to finding the best talent for the job is unmatched, making him an invaluable asset to any organisation."

“I found the recruitment process very simple and relatively stress free (other than that applies by myself!) Reece provided a good insight to the company, management and wider team. We had open conversations about my aspirations and each step of the process which was of great support. Thanks for your support, very much enjoying the new role and team!”

"I have been fortunate to use Social Housing Recruitment both as a recruiter and also more recently as an applicant. I first used Social Housing Recruitment in my previous role in order to source a new candidate for my team. Social Housing Recruitment sent through a number of candidates whose CV’s were of a high calibre reflecting the exact person specification I required. Unfortunately, due to a funding issue I was not able to pursue interviewing candidates, although disappointing for not only myself, but also Social Housing Recruitment, who had spent a lot of time finding the right candidates their professionalism was more than expected. I cannot praise them enough in the way they treated me and helped me secure that permanent role – I would happily recommend them to both those looking for the ideal candidate and those looking for their next new role."

“Well first and foremost my grateful thanks to Reece for putting me forward for the opportunity. Reece's communication with me, via email and phone has been exemplary. He has taken the time to explain each stage of the interview process and been keen to hear results and feedback too. Reece also took time to review the presentation I was asked to submit. Additionally Reece negotiated alternative 1st interview dates too, taking into account the very short notice given for the initial meeting. I was considering withdrawing from this job and because of the extension, I reconsidered and went ahead with the interview. Overall, nothing but praise for Reece and his confidence in me. A very heartfelt THANKS to Reece.”

"Thank you, Social Housing Recruitment. All three of your shortlisted candidates were appointable which showed you really understood the brief. Your recommendations on who to see helped and backed up what we saw at interview. If we have any further needs, we will be contacting you."

"Social Housing Recruitment have recently assisted us with the recruitment of a Head of Service to join our Building Safety Team. We selected Social Housing Recruitment for this search as we have worked with them before and found them able to source competent specialist resources. Their candidate profiling was expertly undertaken and meant that we were able to focus our recruitment efforts on a select group of competent individuals. We successfully filled this position with their assistance."

"I would like to heartily recommend Aleks and his business following some work that he has recently carried out for me on behalf of WM Housing Group. Aleks approached us with some fairly brave and ambitious claims and we eventually set him on in a quest to fill a very demanding and elusive role. Aleks has been the epitome of professionalism and has worked tirelessly to fulfil our needs, he has been readily available whenever we needed him and has always proven to be caring, sympathetic and attentive, not just to our needs as an organisation, but towards the candidates that he has referred."

"Social Housing Recruitment provided excellent communication and ensured that the right people were put up for the right jobs without just sending through bunches of candidates without thought about their suitability. This attention to detail ensured my time wasn't wasted, and more importantly, the candidates' time which resulted in 3 excellent placements."

"I’m very pleased to provide this recommendation for Social Housing Recruitment. From the first day I met with them, I have been consistently impressed with the keenness in offering support during what can sometimes feel a complicated process. I’m sure that their attitude, professionalism and efficiency will help other clients and candidates that engage with them to build teams or find their next role as they move through their career and feel certain that they will receive the same level of support that I have experienced on both accounts."

“Everyone I dealt with at Social Housing Recruitment were professional and showed a real willingness to assist us recruit for our vacant position. They responded quickly to queries, arranged interviews in a timely fashion and produced a talented list of candidates. We were able to recruit from the first batch of CV’s provided, it was only due to the candidate being on leave that it took an additional week to interview. I would recommend using Social Housing Recruitment again, if we have any further vacancies in the team.”
