Liberty

Lisa Abbott is the Retail Controller at Liberty Plc and she has worked with Poolia since she started at the company two and a half years ago. During this time Lisa has recruited a number of temporary and permanent finance staff and has witnessed considerable change across the whole of the Liberty business.

"I've had four different roles myself during the time I have worked with Poolia and the finance team itself has changed considerably; we are now a truly integrated function which is adding value to the business and as a result the type of candidate we are looking to recruit has changed. It's important to me that I work with recruitment consultants who understand our business, recruitment can be very time consuming and using the right recruitment consultants who have the knowledge and skills which Poolia have demonstrated can make the process much easier.

I've worked with a few Poolia consultants throughout this time and we've developed a great working relationship with them. They have established a really good understanding of our culture and get on well with the individuals in the department, in fact Poolia have recruited a number of the current finance team."

Lisa sums up the ways in which she thinks the service from Poolia stands out from other recruitment consultants.

"The service from Poolia has been honest, they have demonstrated a clear understanding of our requirements and they are personable people to deal with. The consultants have gone out of their way to build a strong working relationships with us and I've been impressed by the level of personal interaction we've had with them and the attention they have paid to sending us candidates with appropriate skills."

Lisa's feedback also mirrors comments from a member of the finance team, Matthew Albury, who Poolia placed at Liberty of London. Matthew explains how forming a strong relationship with Poolia made such a difference to him.

"All in all, my experience with Poolia has been excellent; their assistance, persistence and advice were an integral part of me securing this position.  They did a great job for me, not only finding me employment, but more importantly finding me work that will further my career. It is refreshing, especially in London, to work with an agency who actually listen to and look out for the interest of the employee."
