"Pathfinders give us a very friendly and extremely professional service – temps are provided as quickly as possible, and if managers want a choice of CVs this is always an option. They have always given us a range of CVs for permanent roles and we have received very positive feedback from managers – and Pathfinders candidates are consistently appointed to vacancies. Marcus and Katherine really act on the principle that nothing is too much trouble, and they always make sure we get what we are looking for – they really understand our business."

We have always received a high level of service from the team at Pathfinders, and they are our first choice of agency when needing a temp. We hope our long standing relationship with Pathfinders continues for many years."
Office Manager - Cameron Macintosh
"More recently I have called upon Pathfinders to provide temporary employees for a variety of administrative roles. The level of service I have received from the temporary division has been second to none, they have provided good candidates and more importantly I have received good feedback from candidates approaching Pathfinders to find temporary employment. I would definitely (and have) recommend(ed) them."

"My experience with pathfinders was pretty unbelievable. Within two weeks of signing up on their website they found me my dream job and helped me to get it! Pathfinders is truly an excellent recruitment agency. They are fast, efficient and genuinely want to help you find a job. I couldn't recommend them more highly."
Ellen - Lime Marketing
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for believing in my abilities and passing on my details for a job that on paper I wouldn't normally be considered for. I'm really excited to be working for Coty, its an amazing opportunity."
Helena – Coty (Brand Marketing)
"I was lucky enough to be given an intern role for one month at Firefish through Pathfinders recruitment. From day one, I was kept busy on a wide variety of projects, and that work was often more in-depth than is standard for most internships. Neither I nor any of the other interns were ever made to feel that we were afterthoughts in the company, everyone at Firefish was extremely friendly and welcoming, and that the work was interesting and stimulating. Whilst there, I submitted applications for jobs in advertising and brand management. Without exception, all the people that I spoke with to this end were interested and enthusiastic about my experience at Firefish. They felt it to be invaluable, and I believe that it helped me secure interviews at some top agencies."
Lara Tyrell – Firefish
"I would just like to say thank you so much for putting me in contact with Verdant. It has been an absolute pleasure to work here - the work has been very interesting, and it has been really good to work with such fantastic people. I managed to get a job offer from a marketing agency earlier this week, which will start on Monday. I am sure that my work with Verdant and the help from the Pathfinders team played a significant part in helping me to gain employment."
Nick Rogers – Verdant
"Pathfinders were absolutely brilliant in helping me find a great job. The day I had my first meeting with Pathfinders I was put forward for two weeks work experience in exactly the sector I was keen to work in. Following these two weeks I was offered a permanent job with the company so was placed as an Account Executive within a month of getting in touch with this agency. I was very impressed.
The companies I was told about was spot on to what I was looking for. I really felt that you had understood my enthusiasm for professional services and found some great opportunities- most importantly you brought sectors of the media to my attention that I had not previously thought about and now love working in.
The best thing about Pathfinders is that they actively encourage you to be really honest with what you are looking for and to feel comfortable enough to turn down opportunities that you aren’t 100% enthused by. This is something I really felt set them apart from other agencies I have experienced."
Sonia Malhotra – Kysen PR
"Many thanks for all your help. I would just like to take the time to tell you that I was more impressed with you than any other recruitment agency. The talks/seminars on offer are useful and the contact with you and your colleagues was encouraging and caring. Rest assured I would recommend your company or use you again in the future"

With the job market today being a challenging industry, it really does make a difference to know that you have the right agency in helping you get what you really want in your career path"

"The experience I have gained through Pathfinders has given me a clearer direction in my future career.

"I've been a candidate of Pathfinders Media Recruitment for just over a year during which time they have continued to find me excellent temporary positions within many of the well known brands of today's media industry. Pathfinders have supported me 100% in looking for and finding the 'perfect job' and this finally culminated in them finding me an amazing role within a well established and successful firm in an ideal location for me. I am now very happy."
Niki Taylor
"I want to say a huge thank you for all your help and support through this difficult time for me. Your agency was the only one (out of 5) who took my phone calls, gave feedback, answered emails etc which means a huge amount and the lunches you hold are a great idea. You have a great team there."
