Candidate and Client Testimonials
Client – Cleveland Bridge – UAE
“I worked with Harry and Mike for many years. I have worked and known Harry since 2013 when he helped get me a job with Cleveland Bridge as a Commercial Director. Since then Harry has recruited 2 members of my commercial team in Dubai and offers me a fantastic overview of the markets and candidates available within my budget. Both Harry and Mike are extremely professional and are available on weekends and out of hours when other businesses are not to help me. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other business in the construction industry to assist with their recruitment needs.”

Harry and Mike have worked with CCC for many years and we consider them our go-to recruiter for all project controls and fleet / maintenance positions.

Harry and Mike came to our office in Athens to meet with the full CCC HR team and explain their methods and approach to recruitment and we felt this was fantastic as we got to saw their approach and methods to attracting talent. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any business looking to use an external recruitment partner”
Client – PW Nigeria
“I have worked with Ping since their first day. I knew both the guys from previous employers and have dealt with Harry since 2011. We struggle to find professional Plant Fitters and Engineers that want to work in Nigeria. Harry and Mike seem to find candidates for us that other can’t. They have a super understanding as to technical aspects we require such as CAT Diagnostic systems and the difference between candidates that have worked for main dealers and contracting companies. They have helped us recruit a variety of candidates from Plant Store Managers through to Auto-Electricians. I can highly recommend them to anyone looking to use them for recruitment in the plant and maintenance sector”

Candidate – Placed into UAE
I have worked with a lot of job agents and I can confidently say that Harry was one of the best I have worked with while job hunting. Even though I secured a job while Harry was arranging for me couple of more interviews, I have decided to write this as an appreciation for his hard work. He went the extra mile for me and revealed his professionalism in recruiting. He is very quick in responding, always made sure to arrange an interview that would meet my requirements, always ready to advise and give immediate feedback after the interview. It has been a pleasure working with Harry and I will probably recommend and express my gratitude again in the future.
