“The team at Better Jobs, Better Futures have been amazing.
Zoe and Daniel took the time to understand what was important to our business and managed an intense period of recruitment for our growing team.
BJBF were equally effective with both administrative and technical roles, helping candidates to feel engaged and managing the process from beginning to end.
It is fair to say that BJBF are an essential part of our recruitment process and we would not hesitate to use their services again.”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the team working within the BJBF project.
The recruitment process was slick and you took all the hassle out of sifting through endless CV’s and initial interviews. Both candidates that you put forward were of a very good standard and we would have offered them both a position.
You understood our brief completely and in doing so we feel you have found us the perfect, mouldable candidate. As and when we expand you will be at the top of our list for future recruitment.
Thank you again.”
Danni Watts-Jones, Director
DWJ Wealth Management

This is testament to the fantastic work being carried out by the team at Better Jobs, Better Futures.”
