Testimonials

"PRS did some tremendous work for us, supporting the brasserie with temporary staff so that now we are in a position to be self-sustainable in terms of staff. On behalf of the whole brasserie team, we would like to thank PRS very much for their help, we would never have been able to make it where we are today without them. The hospitality team has undeniable recruitment skills and some of the staff are now permanent employees and will thrive within the company. "

Where to start I have worked with Chantelle for well over 15 years and it has been a fantastic time, yes we have had our ups and downs when things are not going my way but this is the same with every supplier, but when it really counts Chantelle has always delivered the goods!

Her communication is second to none, from the first meeting to discuss what positions you have and what you're looking for, all the way to the candidates three month succession interview after landing the job! Unbelievable work!

Whenever I am looking for staff the first person I turn to is Chantelle without a doubt as I know she knows what type of chefs that I require through my kitchen not like others who just send anyone just to collect a payday! For me I feel the money side of things is at the back of Chantelle's mind as it really comes across that she loves her job, cares for the candidate and also what I am after, and what can you ask for in your recruiter!! Like I have said I've worked with Chantelle for over 15 years, if not more and really looking forward to working alongside her for another 15 years, she is an outstanding person, a credit to her family and PRS!

Executive Head Chef, Uk & Ireland Client Dining & Hospitality, DEUTSCHE BANK

I have had a number of open engineering vacancies for a long period of time. Since I have been working with Junior, I have managed to offer a number of roles to quality candidates. I also have more interviews booked in for next week. I must say Junior has been outstanding. He is very professional, diligent, and understanding of my needs. His communication skills and dedication is excellent. He is a pleasure to work with and a real asset to PRS. 

People are always quick to complain and hardly ever give good feedback, so I would like to take this opportunity to give you some good feedback about Junior because I feel he has done a wonderful job. Junior is a very pleasant, polite and respectful young man. I look forward to working with him to fill the rest of my open roles, and hopefully for many years to come.
