Candidate Testimonials

"When I recently started looking for a new job in the renewables industry I decided that the best way to do so would be through a recruitment agency.  Of all those I encountered Taylor Hopkinson were the best by far.  Taylor Hopkinson really make the effort to match your skill sets and ambitions to suitable vacancies.  Unlike some other agencies, with Taylor Hopkinson you really feel like a person rather than just another CV in a pile.  My contact, Jeff, was attentive throughout the process, taking the time to talk through interviews and ensuring the companies gave quick feedback on those interviews.  The whole process was incredibly efficient and within a few weeks I had one job offer and one pending.  I would certainly recommend Taylor Hopkinson to anyone looking for a new job in renewables and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.  In particular I would like to thank Jeff for all his efforts to find me the right role in what can be a tough industry to get started in."

“Tom is an excellent recruiter, he is approachable and really understands his clients needs and aspirations. I have had nothing but excellent service and results from him and highly reccommend him to both employees and employers. I have not met anyone in this industry who is more dedicated and accomodating. Tom has relationships at every level and he really knows his apples..!”

"I contacted Jeff at Taylor Hopkinson during my last post when I decided that I was looking for a new challenge. I was looking to stay within the renewables industry and I was aware that they were specialists in this area. Jeff provided excellent support and took on board all my requirements, listening to what I was and was not looking for. Jeff had very good knowledge of the industry and I was in my new position within a very short space of time after initial contact to Taylor Hopkinson, with very little effort from myself."

“After leaving my old position, Tom worked very closely with me to find my current placement. I found him to be very proactive and we maintained a strong dialogue throughout the process and I was impressed with his enthusiasm and resourcefulness. Now, when I seek to recruit others, Tom is the first point of contact.”

Technical Director, Wind Turbines, Finland

“Tom has a great knowlegde of the industry and a gift of his skills for listening and understanding the requirements of both parties in order to marry prospective companies and clients. He stood head and shoulders above other recruiters as he listened to my needs and took time to understand my career direction before even suggesting a potential job for me. The time that he invested to seek the right position, made for me, what felt like a stressful life changing decision (in moving jobs,) a much easier transition”

“Tom has a rare combination of skills for a recruitment professional in this industry - expert knowledge of the market, an excellent understanding of the requirements of both candidates and clients and a reliable and consistent approach to his advice.”

Director of Offshore Wind Development, UK

"Dear Tom and Jeff, I'd like to thank you sincerely, not just for helping me to find the right move, but also the way you did it. I know your real client is always the hiring company, but from day one you took a real interest in where my interests lay and what I wanted to achieve – to the point that you could generally anticipate my reaction to opportunities you found. This was in sharp contrast to many others I spoke to who simply wanted a copy of my CV to share with their clients. Your follow-up and checking in with me (even after I'd started the new role) was first class, and while I'm sure I won't be needing your services again in the short term I will know who to call first when the time comes. Thanks!"

"I really wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the hard work you undertook to secure me a fulltime position with XXX.

In the past I had a number of disappointing experiences with other recruitment consultants who did not understand the renewable energy field or my qualifications and skills. I was impressed by your knowledge of the industry and its players, and your commitment to finding me a position was outstanding. The service and support you gave me throughout the process, from the initial prompt phone call through to quickly setting up interviews and taking me out for lunch to celebrate my new job, was fabulous.

Your approach and commitment to your job is to be commended. I found you to be extremely professional and very personable. The position I now have is in a great firm with lovely people and a job I really love.

I have been sending colleagues your way (as you well know) who have also been impressed by your efforts. Thanks again so much for all your hard work, it has been greatly appreciated. If I am ever looking for staff in the future, I will definitely come to you. Please feel free to use this testimonial as I have no hesitations in recommending you as a recruitment consultant."
