Ascendant recruitment is by far the best recruitment agency that I have worked with. The staff are friendly and approachable and care about the people they have working with them and want to place them in the right job.

This is the third time which I have used Ascendant over the past 7years and the service is excellent. Nick was prompt in getting me a temp position and to replying to any queries. I would recommend Ascendant to anyone looking for a position, and have done so.

Ascendant were great at providing me with an opportunity to be a part of a well established company and the communication they maintained with me was great. Anna in particular was great as she stayed in touch and made me feel really valued.

I spent just over a year with ascendant and I honestly couldn't say enough good things about my experience with them. From helping me prepare for interviews to helping me find my current job my recruitment agent Anna was an absolute star! All of this is just made even better given the fact that this help came during 2020 at the healthy of the pandemic. Despite that Anna and ascendant helped me find 2 amazing jobs that fit my needs and I couldn't be more grateful.

I worked with Ascendant Recruitment for a year and they have been absolutely fantastic and great to work with from the beginning up until the end. My consultant during that year was Anna Elder who has been nothing but a delight. Anna has been extremely kind and supportive throughout the year and shows genuine care. She has always been easy to get in contact with and is really on your team to help when needed.

I would really recommend Ascendant Recruitment to anyone you are provided with real kindness, care and support! Thank you so much for everything Ascendant Recruitment and especially Anna for all your incredible care and kindness you have shown me throughout the year and being so understanding helpful, and supportive when things are tough I really do appreciate it a lot

Working with ascendant recruitment was the best decision as they have a speedy response. And during my search for a temp job, Nick was very helpful and understanding and i started working in no time. I have worked with other recruiters as a temp but this is the best by far as the consultant Nick was very genuine and went out his way to find the best job for me. Would recommend 100%.

I was a temp with Ascendant Recruitment Milton Keynes for 16 months & found my consultant Anna Elder very friendly & helpful. During the time I was working for them if I had any queries or wanted to discuss other opportunities Anna was happy to discuss & if she was on another call when I tried to get hold of her she always called me back promptly. If you are looking for temporary work (short or long term) then I would recommend Ascendant.

I have to say a huge 'Thank you' to Carrie at Ascendant! Carrie was so present in guiding, supporting and notifying me through the process of being able to secure a six month temp contract which turned into a perm role. I am so appreciative of Carrie's support, especially during this time.

Carrie from Ascendant Recruitment got me a number of good interviews during the COVID19 pandemic when jobs in my industry were hard to come by. Now working very comfortably as an account manager at a job with better prospects than any previous roll I've had. Carrie was easy to get in touch with and supportive throughout. Would recommend Ascendant!

I was assisted by Paula when being placed with a company closer to where I had moved. Paula handled my placement with professionalism and enthusiasm, resulting in my employment with a really great company. Also a big thanks to Nick for his constant communications after the appointment. Great company, great service:

Ascendant proactively found my CV on a job site and contacted me pretty much the next day. Carrie was my contact and she was very friendly, professional and listened to what.i wanted from a job. She then contacted me again, detailed the full job spec and I landed the role. Excellent service and such a.lovely lady to work with. Thank you Carrie.

Great recruitment agency, lovely staff and very personable. Especially Anna who reached out to me as I had applied for a job through a jobsite and she had a list of jobs she thought would be suitable for me and my skillset. Anna kept the updated every step of the way and honestly the loveliest person I have spoken to in a while! I really recommend ascendant and if you get to choose your agent ask for Anna!

Before I started a temp role at Ascendant I had terrible experiences with recruiters. Always call you up, give you false hope, never hear from them again. This has completely changed my opinion. Straight from the off Carrie was always honest about the process. Was always there for when I needed things being done. Now I have returned from furlough if I was looking for a new role in the future I know who I'd be going to first, and that would be Ascendant Recruitment.

Had an amazing experience with Ascendant recruitment, Shaun was brilliant in keeping me up to date with what job roles came available and when I had my interview he made sure I was prepped for it the day before and made sure I knew what to expect etc, I now have a new job role which I can't wait for. Thank you Shaun!

I've had a brilliant experience with Ascendant Recruitment over the course of my temporary contract. James Cooke has been outstanding in his efforts to place me in a suitable role, as he truly took it upon himself to understand my strengths and attributes and assess where these would be best utilised. I am very happy to say that the initial contract I was offered has now been made permanent. Thank you to James and the rest of the staff at Ascendant for making this possible, I couldn't recommend them strongly enough.
