Client Testimonials
We take great pride in the exceptional work we consistently deliver to our Clients. But don't just take our word for it!
Here's what some of our esteemed Clients have to say about the services we provide:
I have worked with Jason for 10 years, as I know he is the go-to person for the specialisms I require in the automotive industry. His most recent assignment was completed to time and the budget we set, with high quality candidates that had been well screened and briefed prior to interview and thus clearly fit for purpose. They have delivered beyond expectation in their roles. I expect to use The Millbank Group's expertise for as long as I’m involved in this industry.
Head of Finance - Major Automotive OEM
Many thanks for your time when we met. I found your approach to be refreshingly honest and I have never received that amount of detailed (and true) feedback from anybody in recruitment. This undoubtedly helped when you got me the role with xxxxxxxxx. Thanks again. It was a real pleasure dealing with professionals!
Head of Supply Chain
Refreshing! From my first interaction to date I have found The Millbank Group to be professional and attentive to both their clients and candidate’s needs, noticeably different to other executive and management search consultancies. Experts in their field, I knew I was in safe hands with Forbes @ Millbank, sourcing and recognising strong candidates in the marketplace whilst proactively delivering a first-class service for both client and candidate. Understanding aspirations and working closely with candidates to achieve the best fit gives them the edge in their field alongside their well-established networks and strong presence across a range of sectors.
UK Human Resources Manager - Major Logistics Company
I have worked collaboratively with Jason Seed for many, many years now although I have had very few actual face-to-face meetings with him, as this has proved unnecessary. He listens carefully to any job description or person specification I am seeking to fill on behalf of the business. Jason understands what many recruitment consultants do not understand namely that there is a much higher chance of a good job match if time is taken to fully understand what the job content really means to the business and to the job holder. Jason is happy to answer any queries and does so in a timely manner. He also keeps very good records or has a great memory, with regard to previous job roles we have collaborated with him on.
Major Automotive Tier 1 Supplier
The Millbank Group are good at matching the right person for the right position. They also have a rare skill these days in the recruitment industry which is to keep communicating and provide feedback and treat individuals as a human being, as opposed to being a number. I would always bear Forbes Recruitment in mind when I am looking for a position.
Electronics Engineer
The Millbank Group have a well-established reputation for selecting the correct candidates for the specific roles and applications. Their depth of knowledge within both the Logistics and Automotive Industry is immense and leaves them as a first choice for Employer and Candidate alike.
Sales Director - Major Automotive Tier 1 Supplier
We have used The Millbank Group for several years for our mid to senior management recruitment requirements. I have found them to be very adept in understanding our needs, our culture, and our operation imperatives and in providing first class short-lists. I have no hesitation in recommending their services. Jason is happy to answer any queries / questions and does so in a timely manner. He keeps very good records regarding previous job roles we have worked together with him on.
Major UK Logistics Company
From my personal experience, I highly recommend The Millbank Group for Companies that strive to have strong and highly skilled employees, and for candidates aiming for their aspirations to be met in their next role. Forbes HR services delivers success. Thank you to the team!
Human Resources Manager (Logistics)
Having worked, personally, with The Millbank Group for over five years, I am delighted they form part of our Preferred Supplier List. They consistently provide us with a good calibre of candidates to consider, many of whom we now call employees. We find the Team professional – with no ‘hard sell’ – and always willing to go the extra mile such as assisting us with benchmarking activities. It genuinely is a pleasure working with them.
Head of Human Resources - Major Defence Manufacturer
I had the pleasure of being approached by The Millbank Group recently. All through the process they were extremely professional, well briefed and dedicated. Having been approached a number of times, I can safely say that Forbes stands out amongst the crowd. There was a great outcome for all and I would recommend them anytime.
