As a contractor I've worked with a lot of agencies, this was my first time working with Interface and I've got to say they have been by far the best. Jon was extremely helpful and always available to offer help and advice. I would happily recommend using them.

Had the pleasure of having John contact me about a position he was recruiting for , not only did he find the position that was right for me based on my skillset he supported me throughout the entire process ensure I was well informed at every step , available if I had any questions and ultimately due to the support given would have been the reason even with an identical position would have been the reason I would have gone with him as you can tell your not just a number and he cares about the candidates and the clients he's working for to ensure your going to be the right fit professionally and from a culture point also. 100% will be contacting John again should I ever find myself in a position to need his support again

Would happily recommend Andy. He is genuine, friendly and a pleasure to work. Andy takes time to listen and understand, which is so important and is often under valued by others.

A very professional and passionate service offered from Andy. He really knows his clients needs and assess if you would be good fit for the position. The prep for my interview was tailored to the company and not just the general tips offered by most recruitment agencies. Would highly recommend if you are wanting to find that right job.

Jon was a pleasure to work with whilst looking for my new role, he took the time to understand what I was looking for and only presented me with the jobs that matched. A welcome change from the usual pushy recruiters who chance it and throw any old job spec at you.
Looking forward to starting my new job - thanks

I could summarize my experience with Interface and Jonathan in particular in just one word - Excellent! Great help on every stage of recruitment process and constant updates.
Professional, kind and dedicated to provide you with best service available. If you happen to get a call from Interface Resource Solutions, just jump into it. Who knows, maybe you'll get a life changing opportunity just like me or at least you'll be able to have an outstanding chat with Jonathan! Thanks for believing in me Jon. I wish you all the best.

I found Andy to be thoroughly professional at every stage of the process. His diligence in helping me prepare for the interviews I attended was extremely valuable. And, unlike many others in his field, his follow-up was as professional as his introductory engagement.

Interface were great when I moved back to Leeds a couple of years ago. Prepped me well for their client including face to face meetings before the interviews. Were very attentive and seemed knowledgeable about the IT industry. One of the first companies I would go to if I looking for employment in the future.

Jon is a helpful guy who reached out to me even though I'm not in the industry. Most recruiters kick me to the curb due to that, but not Jon. He was keen to ensure I was fit to move, interview and we'll researched. He even sent me a last minute reminder text while on holiday. Great stuff.

And approached me having seen potential in my very poorly formatted CV and found me a great job helping me to craft my CV for the role and prepare for the interview. Unlike previous recruiters I did feel like he wanted to get the best job for me and my career not just a commission. Highly recommended

I have worked with the employees of Interface for a number of years now, both as a candidate and an employer. Throughout that time, Interface have set themselves aside from the pack by having a genuine desire to place the right person in the right role. All too many agencies seem to place the emphasis on quantity of candidates presented, neglecting the quality.
Jon and Interface are different and Im confident that when I present an opportunity to them only suitable, quality candidates will be returned. This attention to detail and personal service has ensured Interface are on my (very) shortlist of trusted recruiters.

Had an amazing experience with interface recruitment. After searching for a new role in the north west for a few months, I received a call from Jon who had stumbled across my CV on one of the job boards, he was friendly and well mannered, he spoke of a role which was initially a little further out then i had hoped but had spoken very highly of them. I agreed to look at the job spec which i would usually dismiss cause of the distance, but in fact it looked brilliant.
I asked him to submit me and get the ball rolling. Within two weeks of our initial chat I had secured a role. During this two week period we had several calls/messages and even the night before the interview (which was outside business hours) he provided support. I cant thank him enough hes been a star and I would urge anyone out there to give Interface a try in helping secure a future role. Cheers guys!
