Chloe Needham, People Coordinator, Protocol Skills

I have been using FEcareers.co.uk for the past year. The site is easy to use and very cost effective.

When I first started using the site I was provided with a tip sheet on making the most of advertising on the site as well as a movie on how to navigate the site and manage my adverts. What's more, my contact Gavin is always extremely helpful, efficient and remains friendly and professional at all times. Gavin goes out of his way to offer advice on the placement of difficult adverts and nothing appears to be too much trouble.

Both myself and my clients are happy with the response they have been getting on FEcareers.co.uk and will continue to use the site in the future'.

Lauren Shippey, Account Manager, MKH (media advertising agency)

'Having used FE Careers on several occassions for recruitment of staff, I have always found it to be extremely user friendly and above all, the standard of applicants received to be excellent'

Victoria Crichton, HIT Recruitment Solutions

Locomotivation have used FE Careers in the past and I decided to use your company again this year due to previous experiences. From the initial telephone conversation I have found FE Careers very helpful, informative and always at the end of an email or telephone if needed. The information on set up is very clear and aided by a good tip sheet and demonstration, which I used more than once! The site is easy to use and I think the 'Job Manager' section is excellent. It is always useful for employers who are spending money on recruitment to see if their adverts are searched, viewed and worthwhile. This section is a ver useful tool to see what exactly is going on with your advert. From Locomotivation point of view, as we are advertising throughout the country, we can see which areas are being searched and viewed on a more regular basis and can focus our energies on a more regional and local level if required.

Once again, thank you for your help and I would not hesitate to use FE Careers again in the future.

Jon Baglow, Programme Manager, Locomotivation

I have been using FE Careers for nearly four months now and have not found a more lucrative investment. I receive a steady income of CVs into my email inbox and have taken on 3 members of staff through them (all still employed)

Gavin at FE Careers has been very accommodating and at Jobwise we have built up a good working relationship which we have no intention of ending for the months to come

We were recommended the site by a former teacher. Since signing up FE Careers it has helped us recruit around 8 new qualified members of staff and all have been of a very high standard. "

"In April 2008, FE Careers gave their site a new shape & look and the response to our advertising has continued to be very good if not even better. The new changes makes it even easier for employers to see how the advertising in getting on. I would recommend FE Careers to any Colleges, Schools & National Training Providers like us."

Here at esg we pride ourselves to be the best. I believe FE Careers are equals with us, they are catering for a VERY niche market and I believe without them we would not succeed and we strongly believe this is one of the best sites around. esg have always been looked after very professionally by all members from FECareers, they always recommend solutions as and when required and we would always remember them as a very approachable business with a friendly service.

We would recommend the services of FE Careers to all government funded and educational based companies. 

Thank you FE Careers

'Central Education & Training are a recently formed work based training provider and when it came to staff recruitment, FE Careers was our first port of call. Within less than 2 weeks of placing an initial advert we successfully filled our first vacancy of employer engagement officer. So impressed with the response we have continued on to place a further two advertisements with FE Careers. The system of placing adverts is very simple and the team at FE are very helpful should we have any queries.' 'Since first using the FE careers website I have personally recommended the service to several other training providers.' 

Jamie Buckland, Work Based Training Manager 

Central Education & Training Ltd c/o Nottingham Community College

As a rapidly expanding training organisation, we are constantly looking to expand our team of NVQ Assessors. We have tried countless other internet based job boards and have had a pitiful response so I was somewhat cynical when FE Careers approached me about their services.

The response to our advertisements, however, has been excellent and I have several interviews lined up with some exceptional candidates. I would recommend FE Careers to anyone who is looking for a cost effective advertising solution that will, unlike many of their competitors, generate both the quality and quantity of responses needed for a growing training organisation.

Matthew Smith Managing Director – Optimas Training Ltd

"I just wanted to advise you how pleased we are with the quality of candidates applying to our vacancies... FE Careers may become our main source of attracting candidates. Carry on with the good work."Louise Butler - Customer Services Manager ZedX.

'50% of our top clients are Training Providers, we are always recruiting for high calibre training personnel.

Before we tried FE Careers it was a struggle to find the number of candidates we require. We are very pleased with the volume and speed of response that we receive from such high quality professionals. The level of service from FE Careers is excellent, and I would highly recommend them.'

Maureen Jordan, Branch Manager, People First, Sheffield

'We as a business have found the site to provide us with instant financial results and look forward to seeing many more!'

 We initially approached FE Careers direct over the phone and stail maintain this level of support and advice on a daily basis. The general advice and guidance has been superb and we the love the approach of the company with regards to no nonsense advice and direction. All our requests have always been dealt with very quickly, professionally and with a positive outcome for us as a company.

In todays demanding landscape we needed a quick reacting solution that provided us with direct access to professionals that wanted to identify and be supported into new and exciting career opportunities and FE Careers has really enabled YAAY! to drive this level of excellence into the sector.

Since partnering with FE Careers YAAY! has received approx 100 daily enquiries / responses from professionals across the whole of the UK that are looking for new roles.

As a company having never advertised we were very cautious who we used to co-brand with, but we are so glad we used the FE service and I am sure will continue to develop our professional relationship well into the future and together make an excellent impact on our industry, raising the levels of service and expectation 360 degrees.
