I contacted Staffline in February looking for a new role. Within a week Siobhan had found a placement which was exactly what I was looking for. Staffline were great to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something new.
Rachel, Ballymena Candidate
Staffline are literal life savers!! After being promised a job by another agency (that fell through) I was frantically trying to find work via all kinds of agencies, everyone was very “laid back” and didn’t see the rush in me needing a job. I called Coleen last Friday and she had me in a new job the following Friday. She is so friendly and I knew I could genuinely trust what she was telling me. She has been so informative about the job and the next steps. I can’t thank Coleen enough for all of her help and 1 million percent recommend anyone to go to her who is seeking a new job.
Nadine, Portadown Candidate
I recently made a major career change to a new role as a Band 2 Health Care Assistant. Coleen has been and continues to be brilliant in helping me transition to my new role. Prompt replies to queries every time. I would highly recommend Staffline Portadown. Back up support from Evette has also been great. Friendly, professional and great service. Thanks!
Sheila, Portadown Candidate
I've never had such a positive experience with a recruitment agency. They were able to find me a new job within a week of contacting them!
Anthony, Lisburn Candidate
I worked with Staffline for several months. They are great recruitment officers, sourcing two separate jobs for me during my time there. Everything was always plain sailing. I always got paid on time and if my timesheets were late they always worked to the best of their ability to ensure I was paid on time. Any issues were resolved quickly and effectively. I would definitely recommend working with Staffline if you are seeking new employment and opportunity as they appear to have a wide range of opportunities available which I experienced over the past number of months. Thanks again Staffline!
Marc, Lisburn Candidate
Amazing work from Staffline, especially Órlaith, as they helped get me into employment again quickly and communication throughout couldn’t have been better!
Daniel, Belfast Candidate
This is my first time using a recruitment agency and Rhianna Mooney has made it a very easy and pleasant experience. I filled in my registration documents and Rhianna did the rest and everything went very smoothly. She has been very helpful and quick to respond with any queries I’ve had. I highly recommend Staffline, and Rhianna especially!
Jamie, Belfast Candidate
Since my first call with Staffline, Rhianna has been a brilliant help. She helped me to get my current job, and has been really responsive to any queries, emails or calls I have had, as well as ensuring that my payslips are processed on time. Can’t recommend her enough, thank you!!
Emma, Belfast Candidate
I have nothing but positive things to say about these guys. Robyn worked tirelessly to find me a DECENT employer and didn't just throw me in somewhere for the sake of numbers. When Robyn wasn't available, Coragh also stepped in and was brilliant in assisting me with any enquiries and use of their systems.
Starting with a recruitment agency can be daunting but these 2 ladies made the transition very easy and are always on hand whether by email or phone to assist me with any queries I may have.
Couldn't recommend them highly enough!!
Thank you so much girls!!
Kerri, Belfast Candidate
This was my first time using a recruitment agency, and I must say they were very helpful and efficient. Orlaith and Louise were both very friendly and really on the ball. I would not hesitate in recommending Staffline.
