I had a fantastic experience working with Start People Ltd, and I’m truly grateful for their help in securing my new job. Nina, in particular, was exceptional throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer my questions, provided regular updates, and gave me the guidance I needed to feel confident during my interview process. Her professionalism and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and I highly recommend Start People Ltd to anyone looking for great job opportunities!

Head of Operations - Client

Customer Demand Always Met

“I have worked with Debbie for several years now in various divisions of our site. The reason I keep going back to Debs and Start People is not only the good level of candidates she supplies, but the level of service we receive. Using temporary labour can be just as detrimental as useful to a business if not managed correctly and Debs is on hand at very short notice to ensure our customer demand is met. We have been delighted to transfer some of the temp labour from Start People over to permanent members of our Group and the transition has been flawless due to the good communication and understand that Debbie provides."

Alvin

Mia was absolutely amazing, guided me through every step of the application process and made everything so smooth and easy. In just the space of a week from having my first interview I landed the job with her help.  

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new role!

Fantastic Agency

Start people is a fantastic agency/recruitment place to work for, from the day I started with them to the day I got a permanent position, I don’t have a bad thing to say about my time spent working for them.
