I have used recruiters in the past to assist with different roles, but the calibre of people was not at the level we needed. With Portfolio, where they have a specialist team only dealing with payroll specialists, it was the best option for us

All case studies Read case study
Other recruitment companies were not listening to our requirements. We were being passed CV's that did not match the brief. However, the consultant we worked with at Portfolio Group listened, and then used their expertise to give us candidates that aligned with the skills and personality we were looking for.

I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the process worked. We had a call on Wednesday, I had 6-7 CV’s to select by Friday, and I was interviewing and had made the decision by the following Wednesday. That speed was so essential for this role, given how critical it was.
