Thoroughly enjoy working with Signet, I couldn’t recommend their services enough. Mary and Clarissa have been so kind and always check in with me - the whole process has been a breeze. I now work for a company I love and that’s all thanks to Signet. THANK YOU! xxx

Mary McAuley is an amazing recruiter and I had the best experience in a hiring process with her. She kept me constantly up-to-date. Overall it was a good experience working with her.

By far, the most communicative, informative and professional recruiter I have had the pleasure of finding in years.
Mary has been brilliant in helping me find the right role, and with it seemingly being a new trend for recruiters to ghost, Mary is the absolute opposite.
I am so pleased to have found Signet and my perfect role!

I found the whole process to be well organised and was kept informed at every stage. I felt part of the process rather than just a number. Del O'Connor was excellent, very professional, helpful and supportive, I couldn't have asked for better

We recently recruited an HRBP for our global business. This was delivered in record time and extremely professionally. Hannah and the Signet team worked really well together and screened a number of candidates quickly. The shortlist was produced quickly and the interview notes were good quality and provided an accurate description of who we were seeing. We made an offer within 7 days and the candidate has accepted. Great work and a painless process.

Jamie M.

Recently secured a role as Head of Business Transformation through engaging Vanessa at Signet Resources and I can not recommend Vanessa or Signet Resources highly enough.

From the first moment I spoke with Vanessa she made me feel at ease, provided detailed information about the role and kept me informed at each stage, a true professional & expert in her field. I could tell there was very strong relationship with her client as she fully represented their needs which transpired when I went through the interview process.
