Success through Synergy
We are proud of the long-term relationships we have developed with our clients – here’s a few examples where we have contributed towards our clients success:
“The benefit of the Kickstart scheme is that it has attracted people to this department that traditional recruitment processes may miss. We have been impressed with the quality of the training, the professional way in which the whole process has been handled, and the calibre of the candidates selected. Synergy have been pro-active in dealing with ongoing issues with the ‘kick starters’ since they have been in post to ensure that both the contractors and ourselves are happy.’“
Bill Hayward, Area Housing Manager, Nottingham City Homes
“I found Synergy to offer the best recruitment service with access to experienced mental health Social Workers. I was very impressed with their professionalism and efficiency, particularly the way in which they went to lengths to ascertain the exact requirements of the post and the specific skills and level of experience I was looking for. I would have no hesitation recommending Synergy to my social work colleagues, and indeed I intend to do so.’“
Fiona Jones, Social Worker & Deputy Team Manager, Bradford District Council
“I would like to express my appreciation of the service you have provided me with regards to my overseas recruitment needs for social work staff. I would commend the quality of your screening activity, which was able to identify specific candidates who could meet my specific needs. This made the selection for interview extremely easy and enabled a high degree of success rate.
I was delighted with the efficient way your staff liaised with my Personnel section to identify travel arrangements, accommodation, references, police checks and work permits; you have delivered these more quickly than in-house applicants – a real achievement.”
Chris Saunders, Head of Children’s District Services, London Borough of Southwark
“Synergy have been approachable and helpful. They have provided us with conscientious workers who have more than adequately filled the gaps. Synergy have provided a prompt and reliable service.”
Tracey King, Team Manager, North Yorkshire County Council
“We have built a good relationship with Synergy. They meet a need within the Revenues and Benefits service around recruitment and training, which are the key pressures we face. Kickstart gives us the tools to deliver and there is a high confidence factor due to past experiences of Synergy. Also, because Synergy has rolled Kickstart out to a number of Local Authorities, they can bring a bigger picture to bear and we may learn things from other authorities’ operations. Synergy is very well-respected.”
John Rowlands, Chair of Revenues & Benefits Committee, GM Forum
“Thank you for your help with the Housing post; both candidates were strong in their different ways and I am grateful to you for the high standards you applied in your selection process which were very professional and helpful at all times.”
Phil Walsh, Practice Manager, Miles & Partners
“I have had a great experience with The Synergy Group; I have found them to be very helpful and informative in all recruitment issues. Synergy have shown their ability to give extremely competitive rates and to provide high quality staff at short notice. They are both reactive and proactive and continuously monitor placements which enable a growing relationship to be built.”
Luis Fernando Caicedo Grisales, Human Resources Assistant, Providence Row Housing Association
“The service we have received from Synergy has been excellent; rather than inundating us with candidates they listen to the brief and select only the candidates that closely match the criteria we are looking for. They take the time to build a relationship with us and the candidates so that they can really tell whether the person and organisation will be a good match both technically and culturally. When I receive CVs from The Synergy Group I know they will be worth looking at!”
