Well recommend

ERG found me my new role. I found the team very helpful. Kept me updated and helped with any questions I had before my interview. Stayed in touch weekly for the 1st month, then monthly until I was offered the role on a permanent basis.
All my documents and agreement where emailed to me very fast and someone always picked up the phone when I called.
I will be keeping the contact details on my phone and will recommend to friends

Excellent support and service all round

My consultant Nikki is by very far the best consultant I have ever had and I value her knowledge and support dearly. I hope that I can remain with ERG and especially with Nikki for as long as possible.
I recommend Nikki and ERG regularly to others and feel that my consultant and recruitment agency is definitely a cut above all the rest.
Also Steph is always at the end of the phone to sort out any issues for me and deals with everything promptly and successfully. I feel very reassured that if I have any issues regarding administration or time sheets that Steph is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to support.
