I’m hugely grateful to Inspired Selection. Over and above their expertise, wide range of contacts and friendly approach is their commitment to and passion for what they are doing. No other recruitment business I have come across has been prepared to take the time needed to get to know candidates’ strengths and potentials or to probe a company’s imagined and real needs. Inspired’s intelligent questioning and personable support have made a real difference to us.

Managing Director

Inspired Selection have helped me fill some tricky roles in the last year.  I find the consultants to have in-depth market knowledge and they have an instinctive understanding of the right “fit” for RICS.  It is always fun to work with Inspired Selection and I highly recommend them.

Human Resources

We realised very last minute that we needed someone to help us prepare some data for an upcoming launch. Suzy and her team were brilliant - quickly getting to grips with our requirements and finding us a great temp with very little notice; Friday afternoon to start Monday morning! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in future to find suitable candidates to fill a permanent role or for short-term staffing needs.
