Gavin is a real professional who conducts his business with absolute integrity. Gavin has great people instincts, which work well for him as an employer and also as a recruiter on behalf of his clients. Gavin and his business partner have built a fantastic business that continues to evolve and be successful due to their ability to adapt to the changing face of recruitment. I have great respect for the working environment they have created and how they genuinely value the contribution of their team.
Samantha Gallagher, Talent & Engagement Director
Gavin supplied Finance staff to our company on a temporary and permanent basis. He took the time to understand our business and the people in the Finance function so only the most suitable candidates where introduced to us. All the people that where sent were very able and perfect for the role, and we didnt have any problems filling the vacancies. I would definitely recommend Gavin's services and would not hesitate to use him again.
Suzanne Coney, Senior Management Accountant
Gavin has a professional approach to recruitment and really understands us - his client and their requirement so he can efficiently match candidates to us. I have also been a candidate and he has always been kind and offers advise and motivation.
Helen Charters, Finance Director
I have worked with Gavin over a number of years as both candidate and Principal and can thoroughly recommend him as a top class Recruitment Professional. I have found him very focused and gets to the heart of recruiting requirements very quickly and being very experienced is always ready to provide advice if required to ensure that the client obtains the correct result in a timely manner. I think that Gavin offers an excellent service and takes a lot of the problems that businesses encounter out of the process.
Tony Worrell, Finance and ERP Systems Implementation Specialist
Gavin is incredibly good at what he does and adds a very human element to the recruitment process, providing great advice to ensure that both the role and organisation are a great match for the individual and not just a good fit on paper. Gavin helped me secure my current role which I have been incredibly happy with for the past 3 years. Thank you Gavin!

Wayne Pope, Head of Customer Relations
I have worked with Gavin on multiple projects over a number of years and have had nothing but first class service for each and every one. One of my key requirements was for any recruitment partner to really get to know our business in both what we did and who we are. Gavin far exceeded my expectations in his pursuit of what made us tick. This facilitated a far better process, Gavin delivered candidates time and again that were not only a match to the job specification, but also matched our company culture, which needless to say benefited and streamlined the hiring exercise immeasurably. As a small company it was vital to us not to make costly hiring errors, and, thanks to Gavin's professional and personal approach, this was avoided. I have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and Ibell Recruitment & Staffing, and further, I am happy to provide both written and verbal testimonies to this effect.
Wayne Walsh, Business & Digital Lead / Product Owner
I've worked with Gavin on many different recruitment briefs in a range of different industries. His first class stakeholder management for both client and candidate always shines through, as does his ability to get beneath the skin of the employer. Time and time again this combination has delivered quality recruits who have gone onto greater things.
David Meadows, Marketing Director
Dear Gavin, this is just a note to thank you personally for assisting us with finding our latest team member. I had been quite concerned about finding the right person who would suit our set up and have the right energy, drive and most importantly, sales skills to do what we needed. I was very impressed with how efficient your service is and also how you took the time to fully understand our needs (despite those needs not entirely fitting your ideal remit). You were extremely flexible, willing to help and most generous with your time.
Your passion for what you do was evident in every call, meeting and email and I feel that you really cared about finding the right person for us, which has made all the difference. Many thanks.
E C, Silverton Photography, Olney
Dear Ibell Recruitment & Staffing, this is a testimonial for your ability to recruit the right people. Since I joined Scottsdale in February 2012, I have seen a number of advisors recruited and, all too frequently, depart. It is therefore a refreshing change to see someone recruited who is manifestky suitable to the position. Since Emma joined the team she has fitted in, and proved herself to be focussed, capable and hard working.
This is testament to your ability to select the right person for the right job, which from past experience other recruiters are not always able to do. I'm sure that when other positions arise in the future, Ibell Recruitment & Staffing will be selected as your professionalism and determination to do the job properly fits well with the Scottsdale ethic.
J T, Scottsdale Consulting, Milton Keynes
Dear Gavin, I am writing to express my appreciation for the way you have managed this recruitment. You took time to understand the role in some detail, before starting the process. You then focussed and selected likely candidates and we carried out an initial set of interviews. You also discussed the role with two internal members of staff who had expressed interest. In the final interviews the selection was made very difficult because all candidates were of high calibre. The successful person is already proving to be a very good fit to my requirements. Throughout the whole exercise you kept me fully informed and everything was done promptly and with thoroughness. Thank you once again for being such an excellent recruitment specialist.
G C, Constant & Co, Bedford
Dear Gavin, This is just a brief letter to thank you for the help you gave us recently when we were short staffed. Your team worked really hard to find a suitable legal secretary in difficult circumstances and I would happily recommend your work to others.
C W, Heald Solicitors, Milton Keynes
I cannot praise Ibell Recruitment & Staffing highly enough. They listened to what we wanted, sought to understand our business character as well as the specifics of the role, and delivered quality candidates. They are consummate and highly motivated professionals that I would not hesitate to use in the future
W W, Daeja Image Systems, Milton Keynes
Having successfully used Ibell Recruitment & Staffing for a number of Finance and IT placements, I did not hesitate to approach them when a requirement arose for a part time Spanish speaking accountant. As I would have expected, they came and met me to discuss my requirements and to understand how the role would fit into my Finance team and the organisation as a whole. Not being a straight forward search the lead time was longer than normal, but I regularly received progress updates. The number of CV's received were limited but all of a high calibre and the successful applicant has now been an employee of AT Cross for the past 6 weeks. Placement accomplished. Out of my team of 8, 50% have been placed by Ibell Recruitment & Staffing and their attention to detail, commitment and professionalism never disappoint. I will certainly be using them again.
J H, A T Cross Limited, Luton
We in HR have worked with you now for a number of years and in that time we have received excellent service in fulfilling our staffing needs. The candidates you provide to us are in line with our requirements and very well informed in terms of our business and what we do here at the Bureau. I take this opportunity to thank you for all the effort you have put into building our relationship; getting to know us as individuals, getting to know our organisation, how we work and the standards we expect.
M F, Motor Insurers Bureau, Milton Keynes
The level of service that we have received from Ibell Recruitment & Staffing has been excellent. We use a number of agencies and they have by far the highest success rate in placing candidates . The consultant quickly gained an understanding of our requirements and took the time to understand how we work and the kind of person that fits our business. As a department we are extremely busy and get bombarded by recruitment companies. Ibell Recruitment & Staffing understands that our attention cannot always be focused on recruitment and so they don't bombard us with calls or emails. This type of understanding has led to the building of a strong working relationship and one that we hope will continue for the foreseeable future.
N W, Arrow ECS, Theale
I wanted to take the opportunity to put in writing my thanks for all of your hard work in helping me find a suitable candidate, for what was a very challenging role, with equally as challenging criteria. I had 5 recruitment consultants supplying candidates for the role that you filled, however the most consistent supply of CV's came from you, the best service levels came from your company and the best understanding of what I was looking for was yours, over and above any other firms or consultants I was working with. I would be more than happy to recommend your services to anyone that is looking to fill vacancies in the telecoms/datacomms market and will be in touch again soon, when I am looking to expand my team even further. Congratulations and well done and on a very professional and efficient service.
P S, Next Connex, Northampton
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing were initially recommended to me by a colleague who had previously been working with them. At the time, the relationship we had with our existing recruitment company had gone sour and so I needed to start working at a similar rate of knots with a new recruiter. Of the new agencies I tried, Ibell Recruitment & Staffing were by far the most professional and also met our needs fastest. They listened and clearly understood where we needed to focus and from which elements we needed to see quality. The majority of the candidates we now see meet these quality standards and this is not always easy considering the unusual brief we give in terms of our recruitment methods. In our fast moving company we are not always readily available to speak to recruiters, but appreciate that pursuing a new job is usually a big move for their candidates. Delays from our side can be perceived as concerning for a potential new employee and so I'm always grateful that Ibell Recruitment & Staffing regularly chase us for the feedback and answers they require. I'm also impressed by the fact that they were able to meet our requirements more often than not. This is distinctly different to my previous experiences with other agencies.
BP, Retail Eyes, Northants
I was initially concerned with the costs involved in engaging a recruitment firm and if indeed I would get value for money. However these concerns were addressed quite satisfactorily by Ibell Recruitment & Staffing when I first met them. They were able to understand immediately what it was I was looking for in a potential hire and went on to provide relevant CV's very quickly. The quality of supporting information sent over with each candidate's CV was also clear and precise and gave me an excellent understanding of what to expect before meeting with them. It also helped me to determine which questions would best test the candidate and so conduct a more effective interview. Ibell Recruitment & Staffing's ongoing quality of communication in general was excellent and I believe we quickly built a good working relationship, which enabled us to speak openly and freely about each candidate and ensure complete transparency. I would be more than happy to work with Ibell Recruitment & Staffing again in the future, should the need arise, and would also recommend them to other employers.
G S, Moore Place Hotel (Best Western Group), Bedfordshire
When initially considering the use of a recruitment agency, I was concerned with the ability of agency's to fully understand my requirement and also the value for money that I would see. However, Ibell Recruitment & Staffing's understanding and appreciation of the technologies we work with was refreshing and this, coupled with their subsequent success at sourcing the right candidate, means I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any employer seeking a knowledgeable recruiter and one that will respond effectively to their needs.
C H, Imtex Technologies, Milton Keynes
We had some very specific requirements and Ibell Recruitment & Staffing took the time to understand these. They initially struggled to find suitable candidates, and both they and ourselves were let down by a number of them through no fault of Ibell Recruitment & Staffing. Far from giving up, they persevered and finally found a candidate that has proven to be a capable and valuable member of our team. I am very pleased with the service provided and would be happy to use them again.
M F, RSM 2000, Bedford

L C, Kidney Research, Peterborough
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing understand the clients requirements and provide an efficient service to recruit the right person for the role. Communication was excellent and I was always given feedback throughout the process. Ibell Recruitment & Staffing are very committed to their job and deliver excellent results
C S, Keystone Distribution, Hemel Hempstead
Our experience with Ibell Recruitment & Staffing was outstanding. Previously, we spent a number of months interviewing people to fill a Business Analyst role through other recruiting agencies, but unfortunately, no one seemed to fit within our specialist area. We then went to Ibell Recruitment & Staffing and they went out of their way to listen and fully understand the skill level, expertise and personality type that we needed for the role in question. Not only did they find an individual with a skill set that matched our position, but they were confident that this person would fit in with our team culture. After the first interview we were confident that the candidate exhibited the 'wow' factor that we desired and she has now been working with us for some time, doing an excellent job and automatically gelling with the rest of the staff
T S, HBOS Employee Equity Solutions, London

Effective, honest and always available, they maintain a steady stream of communication ensuring that the process runs smoothly from initial brief to offer and start date.

M H, Motor Insurers Bureau, Milton Keynes
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing's relationship with ITC Infotech has grown over many years. Our requirements are small, infrequent and at short notice, but on every occasion, because Ibell Recruitment & Staffing have taken the time to understand our business, we've been supplied with temporary personnel that have gone on to become permanent employees. I have no hesitation in recommending Ibell Recruitment & Staffing to other employers who wish to source staff via an agency, and to try Gavin and his team as they will not be disappointed with the result.
N C, ITC Infotech, Milton Keynes
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing have always provided a high level of service that has led to the successful placement of a number of candidates.

P T, TUI Travel PLC, Luton
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing have been on TietoEnator's PSL for the past 15 months, and I can't praise them enough. They provide an excellent service, adhering closely to the briefings we provide. Although Ibell Recruitment & Staffing aren't as large as some of their competitors, this has never deterred them from finding the right candidate for the right location. They consistently achieve excellent results, and are constantly looking for innovative ways to add value
M C, Tieto, Dunstable
The following are testimonials from a selection of my satisfied candidates and job seekers...
During my recent search for a new challenging position I was in contact with a number of Recruiters. Most of these were very nice and focussed in getting me in front of their client (after all that's their job), however once the interview was over it felt like you were discarded as no longer a going concern.
I was lucky enough to be approached by Gavin from Ibell Recruitment & Staffing about a great position which I was successful in getting. Throughout the process Gavin was really friendly and approachable and seemed interested in me as a person, not just as a candidate for a role. Regular updates on progress and just general catch ups followed the initial approach, and this has continued since starting my new role.
I would recommend anyone looking for a new job to try Ibell Recruitment & Staffing for a great recruitment experience.
My experience of working with Gavin when applying for my current role was a breath of fresh air. He quickly understood my needs and strengths. There was no ‘well let’s give it a go’ attitude – Gavin was clear from the get-go that he believed I was perfect for the role and he would do everything he could to ensure I got the job. Which is precisely what he did. I wish all my previous experiences with agencies had been so dynamic and positive.
D N, Hertfordshire
Gavin at Ibell Recruitment & Staffing placed me in a great marketing role with a very well know local organisation. Throughout the whole recruitment process, Gavin kept me updated on all progress and he was always quick and helpful in answering any queries. I would certainly use him for future roles, whether I am looking for another role or recruiting.
D C, Hertfordshire
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing are proactive search and selection experts. I had the opportunity of being on the receiving end of their search and selection - Highly focused, and personable, with a high level of integrity, they assessed my needs and got me in front of the right business leader. I would not hesitate in using them again, should the opportunity arise.
R H, Berkshire
I really appreciated the human touch that Ibell Recruitment & Staffing add to their role. I have dealt with many recruitment consultants in the past and that level of care and interaction is not something I had previously associated with the profession. I would say Ibell Recruitment & Staffing's attitude has completely changed my perception and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. At no point did I feel like I was ‘just another candidate’ and the support and advice I received was always exactly what was required. I have been very impressed with them and would welcome hearing from them in the future. What has most impressed me is the level of client interaction and industry knowledge. The service I received from Ibell Recruitment & Staffing was impeccable.
L M, Huntingdon
I knew I was dealing with a professional outfit from the start when I received a telephone call two minutes after I had emailed my application. Ibell Recruitment & Staffing was immediately on the case and after two interviews, I started with my new company within 3 weeks of my initial application. In all the years I have dealt with recruitment agencies as both client and applicant, I have never experienced such service. Well done to all of the team.
D P, Leighton Buzzard
From first contact by telephone, right up until and also after starting my new job, nothing was too much trouble for Ibell Recruitment & Staffing. I found them to have a naturally friendly personality and a very down to earth, professional and very supportive approach. They were able to give me a good picture of what the prospective employer was looking for and also what to expect at my interview. Arrangements were even left in place with my consultant's colleagues at Ibell Recruitment & Staffing to enable me to obtain the documentation I needed ( as I do not have a printer) whilst she was away on holiday. I received a call to wish me luck before I started my new position and have received a follow up phone call since. They have really made me feel that it matters to them that I am satisfied in my new post. I can honestly say that it is the best experience I have ever had using an employment agency and, though I have no intention of leaving my current job as it is exactly what I was looking for, if I were to need an agency again, Ibell Recruitment & Staffing would be my first choice. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
J S, Milton Keynes
I would like to thank Ibell Recruitment & Staffing for all their support with my recent job search. I am so pleased with how quickly they turned everything around and helped place me in what I hope to be the perfect job. Their support before my interview really helped and ensured I was ready and prepared. I would highly recommend Ibell Recruitment & Staffing to any other potential job seekers.
K M, Milton Keynes
From initial contact through to one month into my new position as Finance Director, Europe, for a leading international auction house, Ibell Recruitment & Staffing has been thoroughly professional, genuine, encouraging and responsive. They always took my calls or called me straight back at all stages of the process - few recruiters actually do this in practice and fail to realise that today's candidate is tomorrow's client. Thank you.
M B, London
I just wanted to drop you a quick line following the start of my new job this week. My first two days have gone extremely well, Ann and the girls have been very welcoming and have helped me settle in as one of the team. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help and guidance throughout the recruitment process. Your professionalism, mixed with the right blend of friendliness, put me at ease from the start. Having spent all my working life at Barclays, my interview experience was very limited, which you understood, and you gave me lots of help and advice prior to meeting with Ann, which helped me keep my nerves under control and be "myself". You demonstrated the experience and knowledge of recruiting the right candidate for the right role and I found this reassuring throughout the whole process. Once again, thank you for all the help and for giving me the confidence I needed.
R S, Milton Keynes
Ibell Recruitment & Staffing treats both client and candidate with a great deal of personal attention and looks out for the interests of both parties, which is often unusual in a recruiter.
