  • “Jessica reached out to me in early January about a role and after having a negative experience with an agency before there was a lot of uncertainty. However, I can not recommend Jessica enough! From our first phone call, she was incredibly friendly and supportive. Jess truly listened to what I was looking for in a role and who I was as a person. She wasn’t just trying to fill a position; Jessica genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me. Throughout the whole process, she kept me up to date, she gave constant reassurance and expert advice which pushed me to land a promising job at a company that aligns perfectly with my personal values, personality and career goals. After months of applying for jobs that never seemed quite right, Jess made the whole process less daunting and rejuvenated my motivation and mindset. I’m thrilled to recommend MB Connected to graduates and anyone seeking new career opportunities”

  • “Matt put forward very high quality candidates for roles, and had clearly taken the time to get to know the candidates really well and make sure they would be well suited to the role, with the result that the candidates were a great match for the vacancy. This has resulted in Matt already placing two candidates in my team; who are both high performers with a great potential for future progression in the business. I wouldn't hesitate to get in contact with Matt when vacancies arise again in the future as he has a proven track record of both working with high quality candidates and also having a great eye for who would be suitable for a particular role”

Your ability to listen attentively and truly understand our needs, both from a technical perspective and a cultural one, is invaluable. That comprehensive approach you take has saved us a significant amount of time and resources, consistently bringing in candidates who not only perform excellently but also genuinely enhance our team environment. So, thank you once again for being such a vital partner in building a skilled, strong, and culturally aligned workforce here at QAD. I sincerely appreciate it”

  • “Matt was supportive from the start and felt he was a genuine person looking out for me not just a commission (like other agencies...) apart from that he was a pleasant person to talk to with great experience and great advice as he knew what he was talking about. I am glad I got the opportunity to work with him, I wouldn't have had it any other way”

  • “MB Connected reached out directly to our company following the posting of a job advert and worked flexibly alongside the business as the role was adapted to reflect the range and experience of candidates in the market. We found this flexibility, as a relatively new and growing business, paramount in finding two candidates who were placed under time-pressure and a challenging job market. Matt is proactive, easily approached and his values align perfectly with the staff culture we are creating and we will not hesitate to contact him for further job listings”

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Matt as both a candidate and as a recruiting manager. I think what sets Matt apart from other recruiters I have worked with is his ability to communicate and if he says he will contact you then without fail he does, even if there is no update. I think Matt has also been great at getting an understanding of the type of person that will fit well into our organisation and produced a strong selection of candidates as a result”
