      “FSSI has worked with b3 for several years, and specifically with Rob Salter for the past couple of years.  Rob has managed our account extremely well, so that confidence and trust has grown to the extent that we now go to b3 as our default recruitment company whenever possible.  More recently we were looking for a different job role to our more usual recruits and Rob has responded really well to this new challenge.  We would most definitely recommend b3 and have done on several occasions”.

      I recently worked with Tom to recruit a Technical Assistant for our business. Tom was very helpful and efficient throughout the whole process. We were supplied good quality candidates with relevant experience which made selection of the right person for the role quick and straight forward. I would happily recommend Tom at b3 jobs.

      We have worked with Tom at B3 on several vacancies in the last couple of years.

      Tom uses his knowledge to advise us on our campaigns, is very responsive to our needs, and patient if we change the spec slightly during a campaign.

      Our most recent vacancy was filled very efficiently and quickly.

      "I have now worked with Tom for our Technical recruitment needs for around 6 years. He’s my go to agent for technical, which as a business we find increasingly difficult to recruit directly ourselves. He knows the market, always has a great range of candidates and the process is simple and seamless."

      "Tom at b3 jobs has been extremely diligent and helpful during our search process for a technical candidate. He kept me continually informed and the process resulted in the employment of the successful candidate.

      I have used b3 jobs on two occasions now and have been very happy with their service. The job market in Scotland is a tricky sector especially when you are looking for a specific type of candidate, but b3 jobs managed to deliver a suitable candidate that otherwise I would have struggled to found."

      “Historically as a company, we have always limited the use of recruitment agencies. We decided to work with b3 almost a year ago as we needed to recruit for a specific role in new product development and were struggling organically to find suitable candidates. In less than 1 year, b3 have helped us to fulfil an additional five key job vacancies with exceptional candidates in our food manufacturing business.

      Their professional and efficient management and experience of recruitment in the food industry is extremely impressive, and have always presented a strong calibre of candidates for the job vacancy in question in a fast turnaround. I look forward to working with b3 in the future as our preferred partner recruitment agency.”

      Tamara Madylus-Truman, Ashbourne Foods

       

      "Out of the blue we received a promotional email containing a list of potentially available people within the fresh produce industry, it managed to catch our attention! We had a number of positions to fulfil, we made contact with b3 and have been very impressed with the professionalism of the team and the quality of the candidates that they selected.

      We have now successfully appointed one of their candidates into a key role. We are continuing to work with b3 jobs for further appointments and look forward to even more success. We have been most impressed with their ability to understand our individual business needs, target their selection to the most suitable people and demonstrate their willingness to work with us."

      Vince Wheller, NFFCo

       

      "Having used b3 jobs for over 10 years, I have never failed to be impressed with their ability to find and supply excellent candidates for roles I have been looking to fill and also find very suitable roles that have also furthered my own career. I have had contact with several of the different b3 jobs staff over this time, and all have been very professional, personable and capable, a true sign of an excellent company and not just a great person.

      They take the time to understand your company and its culture to understand your needs to find the best candidate and the fit for you. I will certainly continue to use and recommend b3 for any future roles."
