John Simpson

i would like to say a huge thanks to platinum for the work they put in to make sure i was furloughed in these uneasy times. i genuinely dont know how i would have survived without the contribution they worked so hard to obtain for me. my wage was always paid in on time and there was always someone on the end of a phone or email with any questions i had putting my mind at ease when i didnt know what was going on. once again i cant praise the team enough, great job guys!!!

Seamus Russell

I have done temp assignments for Platinum for several years and have been recruited by employers after my assignments. They are so supportive and friendly and approachable no matter what the issue. If you want work and if no one else delivers what you need in terms of work, these guys will not let you down, they are the very best.
Highly recommended and wouldn't hesitate to offer my services when available.

Elena Scevola

Rob Cotton, one of the best in the business.

- A man who always has his clients intentions at heart

Liam Warren

Having worked for platinum now for 3 years l have been able to travel around the country in many varied positions from duty restaurant bar and operations manager to name a few positions. From a castle in Scotland to the Randolph on Oxford l have enjoyed the variety of roles.

I will say that many of the hotels l have visited via Platinum have had other staff from different agencies working in conjunction with Platinum, but mostly TownGate, who are always trying to get me to join them. Unfortunately TownGate pay on average £2 less per hour as Platinum l am told by TG staff!

Wether it’s Karen Hall or Victoria Bradley you always feel you are in good hands and that’s important to me as an individual.

Kenneth Dono

always honest and get paid on time. and treated with respect

Ed Kynaston

they are great, i'm the wooorost

Amy Stiles

I worked for Platinum for six or so Months this year. Before getting a full time job
I can whole heartedly recommend them and Especially Joanne Kernan. who always found me work and kept me up to speed every week about my next placement.

Ray Harrison

I did some work for Platinum last year (took a long break from Facebook hence the late review) and cannot thank Karen and Victoria enough. I arrived back in the UK on Wednesday, and they had me set up with a great temp ongoing role of Travelling Events Coordinator by Friday, starting on the following Monday. They are definitely one of the best agencies I have ever worked for, and were genuinely interested in getting me the role and helped me to negotiate a great package. The job went well and resulted in a few months of travel and many new business connections. If and when I next go back to the UK, they will be the first people I give a call to. I know it's been a year now, but thank you ladies I will never forget how great it was working with you!

Rea George

I have worked for Platinum Recruitment over the past eight months. I can not recommend them enough for the professionalism and consideration they have shown me when placing me on assignment. The whole team especially Andy Middleton has taken the time to study my skill set and listen to any feedback I have had. The whole experience has been very enjoyable.

Darren Preston

I have to say a big thank you to Andy Sinclair who helped to get my new job!
Thank you Platinum Recruitment.

Katalin Fejos

Always a great service from Platinum, especially Rob. He goes above and beyond to find chefs to suit our needs.

Lynsey Craggs

Rob at platinum Recruitment has been most approachable,and has pointed me in the right direction at a time when I have other
Job opportunities on the table.
Previous recruitment agencies that I have had dealings with seem to want you to take the first job that they offer you and when you
try too communicate with them that the job is not the right one for you,they don't bother replying to your emails or return phone calls!
So a big thank you to you Rob for your time and patience,we are still a work in progress!

Brian Elliott

As a master student studying events managment, Platinum has been always helpful for me to be involved in various events as a temporary staff. Also, they are professional and lovely people! Definately best recruitment agency in hospitality! Many thanks particularly Jack always been friendly and nice xx

Seoyeon Park

I would like to say a big thank you to alastair who was a great help through the whole process of finding my new job from start to finish a very professional company and would work with again or recommend to someone else

John Everett

Having been approached by Platinum late last year as I was looking for a new move, Lewis was superb from start to finish, he had a great location lined up and worked well with the GM and DGM. In the 3 months since I moved I've already gained a promotion showing that Lewis put me into an establishment always looking to use those from within and develop those they have. Since the move Lewis has been in touch on occasion just to ensure everything has been smooth and there have been no issues. Communication was always prompt and I would certainly recommend making use of Platinum in the future.

Calum Nicholson

Amazing place. Rob Cotton helped me find my first job in Jersey, after that didn't work out he was instantly on the phone getting organised and found me another within 12 hours. A even better job than my previous one. Very professional, great communication. Would recommend this company to anyone!

Drew J Maxwell

I was really impressed by the level of professionalism shown by Rob and the team , i have worked with many agencies in the past and i must say that Platinum has to be the best . Many thanks for getting me the job on jersey you were all great many thanks , especially ROB ! CHEERS GUYS

Robert Gray

Joe beck has been a legend for us over recent years in finding staff on a permanent basis or temporary at short notice. He knows what we are looking for and will only send us suitable candidates. Thanks Joe. DRB @thetorridon.

Dan Rose-Bristow

I cannot thank Karen, Haidee and Victoria at Platinum Recruitment Agency enough for all that they have done for me over the past 3 months. Moving to a new country is never easy and finding a job there even less so! Having the fantastic Platinum team constantly being on the lookout for job opportunities has been an absolute lifesaver for me. They were very communicative, efficient, professional and filtered job opportunities through according to my experience and location preferences. Highly recommended for anyone on the job market and those new to London.

Annie Back

Great and professional people. They followed me during all the process: they proposed me a place, they organised an interview and a trial shift. Between each steps they called every time to ask how I felt and what I thought. Really good company I suggest to all the people that are looking for a job.
I will call them again for my next job.
Special thank you to Rebecca Dibben that she was in charge to help me.

Andrea Boscolo Cremondin

Having used Platinum now for the last 3/4 years for relief staff, I can say they are by far the best agency around. They deliver a professional service and I would recommend them to anyone. The team are very friendly but would especially say thank you to Andy Middleton who will always listen to feedback on staff and put up with my difficult requests, to which he delivers every time.

Neil Earle

First time using platinum recruitment and it was a lovely experience. Everyone was very attentive and explained everything throughly! Especially Nicky Marx the assistant manager!

Dillon Anderson

Although only a short relief stint the professionalism that everyone at Platinum displayed made my life a lot easier. From the initial phonecall all the way to ensuring the paperwork is done to finishing an assignment, evertthing is made so much easier by the whole team no matter who you deal with. If I am ever in need of staff they will be my first port of call.

Hansi Klein

Always professional and helpful. Have been a great help with our recruitment needs.

Sam Jones

I have been working with Platinum over 8 months as a temporary chef.I've used other agencies before and being honest none of them as goog as Platinum.I feel really supported by Joanne Kernan.She is well organised, honest, helpful, allways polite and never let me down.
A great company to work for.I can't recommend Platinum enough.
Super thanks to Joanne Kernan and the whole team

Turoczki Peter

I use Platinum recruitment at least once a year and have always been impressed with the network of clients they can introduce to my company.
Invoices have never been late and placements I have undergone have been well matched. Platinum recruitment will still be my first form of contact.

Richard Edgley

platinum Recruitment In my view are the number one recruitment agency in the country always ready to help and professional along the way �

Chris O'Callaghan

I am a pastry chef by trade and have been helped greatly in my career by Andy he knows what a chef wants and doesn't give u the April he tells you what the position is all about and doesn't sugar coat it so it's nice and refreshing to hear from his experience as a previous chef to have that link between an agent and a chef to help find that right step is criticle.
