Testimonials

"I would like to say how pleased I am to be working with Hcareers. Since I have been using the site over the past few months I have been impressed by the number of potential candidates looking at the positions available. In fact the Heathrow site has around 2000 hits and 200 CV's posted on the site. We have recruited 5 people so far which may not seem many, however the site is still new in the UK and so a lot of the enquiries are from overseas. The UK response is growing now. The support from the Hcareers office is good and if you are not maintaining your site you get reminded. Internet recruitment is the way ahead: students, graduates and many others use the internet daily. What I particularly enjoy is the flexibility of the site. Should a position become available I can have it posted on the site in 10-15 minutes and could well have CV's by the following day. When you consider it costs £500 to put a small advert once in the local paper or £2000 for a national advert, the cost of the site is almost an irrelevance considering you can post as many jobs as often as you want.

"It is vital you have quick and easy internet access to make the most of this medium and once the Profile Page is on-line shortly I am expecting much greater things."

"As HR Professionals in the hospitality industry, we are all finding it more and more difficult to recruit high calibre staff in the current labour market. Hcareers has become an integral part of our recruitment strategy due to it's no frills approach, ease of use and cost.

"We have filled several vacancies with the minimum of time and effort, thanks to Hcareers we have saved a lot of time and money. I would recommend Hcareers to any employer in the hospitality industry - It is second to none."

"In the last few years I have used many forms of recruitment at the Stafford Hotel and internet recruitment in particular seems to have dramatically increased in the past 12 months. Of all the companies I have tried, Hcareers is by far the most professional and in touch with actual business and personnel requirements. Since the site launched in the UK last November, I have had much improved response from candidates actually based in the UK and in particular in London. This January I managed to place my first full time staff member in a senior position as a Private Dining Co-ordinator. The job was only posted a matter of days before I secured two strong CV's through the site and this led to the employment of one of these candidates. Using the site has proved very simple and it is much quicker than placing recruitment advertisements in other areas of the media. I will continue to use the site and anticipate it will become an even more effective recruitment tool as it grows in 2001.

"Well done and keep those good CV's coming!"

"We tried a number of sites before signing up with Hcareers and we found that our highest response rate was from this site. Since joining on Hcareers we have had a number of candidates view our jobs and we have successfully recruited staff in Housekeeping, Bar and Kitchen areas.

"It only takes minutes to update and post new jobs on the site and daily we are notified of new response to our adverts."

"I started using Hcareers not having too many expectations, however, I was pleasantly surprised when I received a lot of quality response to our job postings. I have interviewed many candidates through the site and am currently in the process of employing the successful candidates. Especially in the Middle East, where recruitment is a challenge, I have found that there are enough respondents who would be suitable throughout every level of the hotel.

"Not only is the site very user friendly, it is flexible, quick and the support team is a great help to getting you started and keeping you going. I was guided throughout the whole process and the follow up is very efficient and done with a big smile! I would recommend this site to anyone in this region."

"Hcareers - a breath of fresh air when it comes to recruitment. An excellent tool for attracting, searching and contacting the 'right' employees for a demanding five star market. Hcareers offers a limitless number of job postings that are tailor made. Our company profile page has proved to be a huge success, it guarantees more job searchers are directed towards our site/job postings!

"The back up support and set up service was fantastic and more importantly hassle free - I'm sure you'll have a very successful launch in the UK."

"Hcareers - the perfect solution to my everyday recruitment needs at the Conrad Hotel. The site is an excellent tool for attracting the right candidates. It's easy to use for both job seekers and employers. Speed and ease of recruitment is essential in our industry."

"I was introduced to the Hcareers website last year and decided to try it out in January 2003 for my annual recruitment drive. I was impressed with the service I received and how my profile page looked. The cost of traditional advertising for a week or even a day is constantly increasing, so 45 days with Hcareers represented excellent value for money. The site was quick and very easy to use and I could check how many possible candidates viewed our page at anytime, some of these have been successful, so it certainly worked for me."

"I am writing to express my deepest thanks for all your hard work and commitment to the (Intercontinental) Hyatt Regency London -The Churchill in terms of recruitment.

"Hcareers has helped us to recruit extremely professional and invaluable candidates who have fitted in perfectly to there respective teams and the hotel. I would highly recommend the services of www.hcareers.co.uk

"Many thanks once again for all your support and invaluable knowledge of recruitment which I have grown to rely on."

"I have been using hcareers for 2 years, originally as a jobseeker and most recently as an employer. During this time, Hcareers has become an invaluable tool, which is not only easy to use but also cost effective. It took me 5 minutes to set it up (in all honesty, most of the work was done by a friendly account manager). Features like CV detective prove very useful if a bit time consuming and can make all the difference if used in a clever way. I mostly use external recruitment sources for supervisory and management positions and the positions I have already filled via hcareers have offset its cost by a long shot.

"Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff and cost effective. A++"

"Baglioni Hotels are a chain of Luxury Properties recognised as a World-wide member of Leading Hotels of the World. Our standards are second-to-none and when it comes to recruitment we understand the important role our staff play in creating and maintaining our reputation.

"We realized that to attract the best staff in Europe, there were issues with the older methods of recruitment. Newspapers were not targeted, slow, expensive and limited exposure to only our local areas, whilst agencies charge a very high fee for a service that you can essentially do on your own.

"With the issues mentioned with conventional means of recruitment, it has become very clear for our business that the only way to attract staff is online. We love Hcareers because we find highly qualified hotel staff by virtue of the fact that they have the largest audience of hospitality focused job-seekers in Europe. It is more cost efficient to advertise with Hcareers than it is to use agencies, and often the same candidates apply directly through Hcareers! The customer service that Hcareers provides never fails to impress, even for somebody who works in a luxury hotel.

"We will continue to use Hcareers and encourage other hotels to get involved, you will not be disappointed!"

"Hcareers uses a simple approach when it comes to internet recruitment. They provide a service which "thinks" from both the employers and the prospective employees perspective and gives them both what they want.

"Customer service is Paramount - they're not happy until you're happy. From day one they talk you through, step by step, the facilities that the site can offer and which ones may be beneficial for you're company.

"Hcareers seem to have bridged a vital gap in the market place, which seems to be losing the personal touch associated with the internet."

"I was very sceptical about the whole website recruitment scenario but went in with a fairly open mind. We are in the process of taking on our first hire - as Assistant Manager for one of our 12 branches - in relation to our turnover this is an excellent result. I am also in the process of setting up a couple more interviews for potential management positions. Hcareers have found a user friendly, easy to find system and with the very efficient support team I am looking forward to working on a profile page in the New Year.

"I would not hesitate to commend Hcareers as compared to other sites I have been shown, offered and sold to. I have found them to have the correct approach, customer service skills and seem to be moving the right way forward."

"I have had a steady flow of good quality candidates from Hcareers, more than I would have expected. Whilst We haven't made any offers of employment yet, I still have candidates to interview and a couple under consideration for a new training scheme which we will be starting in the Summer.

"The support from Ben and his team has been superb. Ben clearly wants the site to work as much as we do and he has come up with some good ideas to enable us to get the most benefit from it, namely the profile page and featured employer button.

"As a result of the trial we are seriously considering a permanent working relationship with Hcareers which is something we have not considered with any other internet recruitment company - despite various free trials."

"We at Ancer Recruitment have used Hcareers over a period of 5 years or more, and find it a very successful way to recruit top candidates for our vacancies. The quality of CVs received is always good and we also find this recruiting very cost effective. The site is easy to use and the staff are always helpful"

"FM Recruitment continue to use Hcareers as an essential recruitment tool to ensure that hotel sector finance professionals worldwide find us when they are looking for a great career move.”

"In a short period of time Hcareers has dramatically improved our recruitment process for our hospitality sector."

"We have worked with Hcareers since we opened Select Hospitality in April 2006, through the website we have managed to attract the best hospitality candidates and also raise our profile. The easy to use candidate search is extremely helpful and Richy always provides a high level of service."

"Hcareers has allowed us to tap into a pool of candidates for our hospitality roles across the Middle East, and in particular our ever increasing business in Dubai."

"I made many enquiries when looking at suitable sites for web based recruitment and was pleasantly surprised when I was contacted by the team at Hcareers. It is pleasing to find a well organised site that is specifically targeting to the Hospitality Industry. I now regard it as a vital partner to our business."

"At I Recruit Ltd we are all from a hospitality background and wish to provide the industry with a quality recruitment service providing candidates from reputable sources. We obtain CV's using various methods of advertising - we find the most efficient source is web hosted. Being a small company aiming at such a refined market within the hospitality sector we have to greatly consider our advertising sources to ensure that they match our requirements.

"Over the past 2 years we have used a number of catering recruitment websites. HCareers have proved to be the leading site for CV search, offering a regularly updated site that is efficient, easy to navigate and provides us with a wide range of candidates.

"We would not hesitate to recommend Hcareers to any potential recruiter looking for a site that offers a professional service to all sides of the hospitality industry."

"As a specialist immigration and work permits consultancy, Global Visas provide services for professionals seeking employment and organizations involved in employee relocation and international talent management.

"We have a range of candidates and employers approaching our company in an effort to obtain a work permit or alternate means of legal employment in the UK, with a proportion that simply do not meet the legal requirements to work in the UK. HCareers refers the highest quality candidates to Global Visas; a direct reflection of the quality network of professional employers that value the services of an organisation like HCareers."

"First of all of I would like to thank you for introducing Hcareers to me as a great tool for finding candidates to fill our global vacancies. I was impressed by the easy way of placing an advert and a plus is certainly the templates you offer for a automatic reply to candidates who responded. Compared to other sites I found hcareers user-friendly and very fast to select or reject candidates. In fact hcareers is doing more than 50% of our work. I was hesitating in the beginning to invest the money, but I can tell you that I was impressed about the quality of the candidates, especially on Management level. We have already been able to place candidates recruited from your website and therefore our investment has already been paid back. I will certainly keep on with posting our vacancies as this the only way to find suitable top candidates.

"I would like to thank you again to make me aware of this great opportunity and hope that you will expand to other continents and make this a truly Global site."

"What I like about the Hcareers site is that:

• Job posting, updating and modifying is very easy.
• There is enough space to describe the job and the company
• It is very easy to connect - It has never failed me during the two months that I have used it.
• Information about new jobs being posted comes to me. I like that these are not CV but that I can choose myself which CV are worth looking at all.
• Newsletter instructing me how to make my job posting and response screening more effective.

"Advertising in Hcareers has been very beneficial for our Club. We receive many applications and we have hired quality people through this vehicle. We highly recommend it."

"Since signing up with Hcareers, the calibre of applicants received have been of a high standard and proved to be a sensible addition to Rail Gourmets advertising campaign.

"The level of customer service has always been high and regular contact is always kept up, updating jobs on-line has never been easier.

"Thank you Hcareers for all your support and professional advice."

"Hcareers hospitality recruitment website is such a useful tool to Directors Table. We have one member of the team who co-ordinates the site for the whole division and who still finds time to perform the rest of their duties!

"No special training is needed because the site is so simple to use, everything is self-explanatory but help is always at hand in form of an account manager, if you encounter any problems.

"Over the past 6 months Directors Table have recruited over 25 members of staff, ranging from Group General Catering Managers to Kitchen Porters.

"We were also able to choose from a wide variety of candidates to fill these positions, as so many people viewed and replied to our job postings, not to mention all the CV's that are readily available to browse.

"Hcareers has saved Directors Table a lot of money in agency fees by looking after all our recruitment needs!"

"After our initial sign up to Hcareers site we find that the site is easy to use in regards to the management and posting of available job positions. This is controllable from our own offices and we can react to the status of any requirements quickly.

"We have seen quite a few of applicants via the site at our interviews some of whom have now been employed on our ships.

"Through Hcareers, which is a dedicated hotel industry recruitment site, we find that we receive a steady flow of selected interested candidates with relevant qualifications and experience. In this way the site is going some way to meeting our needs for recruitment advertising and is providing a cost effective alternative to traditional advertising. It's encouraging to see Hcareers now advertising themselves in the sort of publications we would normally use."

"Hcareers has been a valuable tool in attracting the right type of people for my business. It's easy to use and has exposed me to a pool of candidates that would have been otherwise been difficult to come by."
