We believe that it is important to be able to back up what we say about ourselves.
Listed below are comments from you, our candidates and clients and your thoughts on our service:-

From Contractors and Job Seekers

"Hi Colin, Just a quick & probably final update. I have been liaising with the client and agreed that my official start date with them. I am really looking forward to it. May I thank you for your work that helped in securing this position & for the professionalism shown by both yourself & the other staff when they dealt with this in your absence. Best wishes."

"May I take this opportunity to thank you Tina, Miles and all at Summit firstly for the introduction to the client and secondly for handling my assignment in a thoroughly efficient and professional manner. I am of course delighted to have secured a longer term position here, and in the nicest possible way hope that I will not be requiring your services to place me in the future. If I do, or indeed if the client need to find some new talent, I would not hesitate in recommending Summit. With sincere thanks and very best wishes"

"Dear Colin and Dawn, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the assistance you provided to help me secure the job at -----. You been one of the best recruitment agencies that I have ever had contact with; I particularly appreciated your regular updates during the process."

"Many thanks for your feedback. I just wanted to highlight how pleased I am that you and your colleague Alex have taken the time to keep me informed along the way and to come back with feedback. There are so many Agencies out there that are very poor in the area of candidate feedback. I will certainly remember your organisation as one to contact when I find myself in a role and I am looking to recruit. Once again thank you and I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Summit do not apply pressure, but are keen to help and invest the time in getting hold of me for a chat (which earns Kudos in itself, I am notoriously difficult to get hold of at times). As a result, I will elect to use Summit where possible and suitable."

"Summit came recommended to me by another independent consultant and since then Simon has regularly been in touch from both client and candidate dimensions.

"Many thanks Simon, I really do appreciate the prompt response; it is so refreshing to exchange with a recruitment consultant who is on the ball and takes the time out to mail back to candidates. There is obviously a very different, much more professional culture down in the west country."

"I am just sending a quick email to thank your company and Dawn Gregory in particular...Dawn has been both professional and supportive throughout this whole process. She has always endeavoured to update me with any progress on the matter in a timely manner... I have decided to email Summit directly rather than Dawn so that you are also aware of her good work. "

"I have been very impressed by the efficient handling of the end-to-end recruitment process by Summit. I felt that I was treated in a professional and responsive manner throughout the engagement protocol. I would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate the fact that Summit have been great at alleviating the tensions and stresses that could possibly result from such a process, by being extremely sensitive and through streamlining it."

"I would like to point out how pleased I am with your professional attitude and consideration whilst briefly dealing with you yesterday. It is very rare in today’s job seeking environment that someone such as yourself is willing to go that extra mile for people like me. I have had dealings with other recruitment agencies, and there attitude and professionalism is no where near yours. One guy who replied to one of my job applications via email even got my name wrong! So once again I would like to thank you for your dedication and commitment. A true professional."

"Finally, thank you for all you help in securing this position for me, your service has been excellent. If you ever over in Amsterdam we should definitely grab a beer! "

“How refreshingly different. I have been in the contracting market for about 4 years now and this is the first time that an agent has ever got back to me with feedback to let me know how things are going. I must thank you and encourage you to keep up the great work.”

“It's been a pleasure to work with you over the past year and I'd like to wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.”

"Thanks for the understanding reply. Indeed, most agency people wouldn't take the time to do that…"

"Interesting that in ten years of contracting you are the first to keep me informed. I hope we can work together in the future."

"Many thanks to you both; Simon for helping me find the role and with your advice throughout on matters relating to the job itself and on wider things."

"Thanks for your mail. It's nice when a recruitment consultant actually takes some kind of interest once a placement has been made!!"

"As you know, it is not unusual for contracts to disappear in a lot less than a puff of smoke. What is unusual, is the fact that an agent actually lets you know this has happened. Your feedback is very much appreciated. Maybe something will crop up in the future."

"If I don't see you before happy Christmas and Happy new year and thanks again for the highly professional work you have done and your persistence for convincing me."

"Thanks again for your quick feedback last Friday, although I was quite disappointed, I appreciate you being up front…"

"Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. It's good to meet an agent who operates extremely professionally."

"I am very much looking forward to meeting you. The support you gave me in preparing for the interview was exceptional."

"I can honestly say that you are the only agency that I have used who has maintained such an informative and high level of contact with clients."

"You can pat yourself on the back as being the only Recruitment Consultant in the UK that bothers to keep their contractors informed. Well done that man!"

From Employers

"Very happy with the service received, speed accuracy and the provision of good candidates. In addition, ease of operation with Simon, necessary information, accurate, speedy and no hassling for information. Happy with the relationship."

"So, I’d like to close on a positive note by saying that not all recruitment consultants are of this ilk: Simon Dunscombe of Summit is an excellent example of an agent that strives to build relationships on both sides."

"I appreciate your work so far, the candidates have been very appropriate and you've been very helpful in organizing the different meetings."

"I am pleased to confirm that we have used the services of Summit Computer Recruitment since the year 2000 for the provision of contract and permanent IT staff. Agencies are not known for their quality of service but during that time we have had superb service from Summit, so much so that from May 2001 we entered into an exclusive supplier relationship with them which was recently renewed for a second year. Exclusivity has not only brought the benefits of Summit's skills but also allowed us to deal swiftly with the intrusions that inevitably arise from other agencies touting for business. Throughout all our dealings with Summit we have found their service to be very professional and dedicated to our needs. Our requirements have covered a variety of technology backgrounds and Summit has always provided an exceptionally fast turnaround in finding IT candidates particularly with a development background. By using Summit on an exclusive basis we have found the process to be very cost effective, not only in terms of fees but also in saved management time and money by not having to review inappropriate CV's. We can wholeheartedly recommend Summit to companies thinking of recruiting IT contract or permanent staff in the future on an exclusive basis, as they have provided exactly the excellent service to us that we seek and we look forward to them continuing to do so."

"Another great find! Thanks for your help."

"I have been very impressed by the quality of service you have provided. When another requirement arises I will certainly seek your assistance again."

"That's such a quick response, genuinely impressed!"
