"In order to fully understand our requirements, la crème insisted on visiting our office
to meet with us. They pre-interviewed candidates and provided very useful feedback in order
to ensure that we only saw the most eligible candidates. They were consistently prompt and professional with all correspondence and were always willing to answer any queries we had. In fact, we were so happy with the candidate that we extended the contract and subsequently offered them a permanent position. Professional, thorough, friendly and helpful, we will avail of la créme's services again"

"I came across la créme a few years ago and was delighted with their refreshing approach to
dealing with customer requirements; La créme listen to your needs and don't inundate you with phone calls. Jacqui is an excellent ambassador for la creme, she is always happy to hear from you and also provides a detailed outline of the type of personality for each candidate which proved to be essential and invaluable in choosing the candidate as they were all so well matched to the role. I have built an excellent relationship with Jacqui and la creme and hope to use them for years to come and would highly recommend their service."
Human Resources, Toyota
"As soon as we approached Jacqui she arranged to come into our office to gain a greater understanding of the organisation and the vacancies. Immediately Jacqui was able to send us candidates that not only had the right skills and experience but candidates that met our culture and values, therefore successfully filling two roles.She was friendly and professional and we hope to work with la crème on future vacancies." Wendy Routledge, Internal Sales Manager, Avnet Embedded
"Since we started using La Creme for our not so many vacancies over the recent few years we have been nothing but satisfied with both the service and the candidates. Charlotte has looked after us superbly and understood our requirements 100% taking the time to visit and listen to what we are looking for. All the candidates selected for interview and that we have recruited
were exactly to our requirements.Keep up the good work La Creme and we look forward to many more years working together." Gerry Sharkey, Director IDA Ireland
"recently we have used la creme to provide us with staff, in support functions. the qualities of the people recruited have been excellent as has the service and support offered by la creme itself.” TH Associates Clive Todd
"i had pleasure working with Elle who i instructed to source a pa for my business. from the outset, Elle convinced me she was determined to find the right person for the job and took great care in identifying my key requirements. strong candidates began filtering through soon after, and demonstrated that she had in fact understood the brief. i proceeded to interview 3 candidates, one of whom was the perfect fit. from start to finish Elle proved superlative in her approach." Costain Limited
"what an absolute pleasure it has been working with Libby Boden and her colleagues at la-crème. their customer service is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. talk about 'going the extra mile' - I was off sick for 2 weeks with a rather heavy cold, which is not an easy illness to monitor and not only did Libby call me every day to see if I needed a temp the following day but also gave me her personal mobile phone number over the bank holiday period. the timesheet ‘sign off’ is done electronically and extremely easy to follow so we are all doing our bit for the environment. the temps supplied by la crème have been friendly, courteous, approachable and eager to help where possible. In all I look forward to the next 12 months with la crème knowing I have a reliable and professional recruitment agency to meet my reception cover needs at the drop of a hat."
Jo Steedman
Residential Management Group Ltd
"i am currently managing the SED department in CPM; i would just like to say we have been through a major reorganisation process. in the middle of this we have been working closely with la crème to source temporary staff. i must say that la crème have proved to me not only to be truly professional but also very friendly and always willing to help in any situation. i feel that if i have a problem all i need to do is pick up the phone and la crème will solve my problem. over the last six months we have had various temporary staff that have been recommended by la crème and each and every one in their own way have helped this department to get where it is today. so thanks to la crème not only for your hard work but for making my job so much easier."
Kevin Baxter, Deputy Manager bluQube
"we had tried recruiting for this position ourselves, however found it near impossible, we had always stayed away from recruitment agencies as previous experiences had put us off. however it was so different dealing with la crème, they came and met us at our offices, spent time finding out about the role and although they remained in contact they were not the typical recruitment agency and not at all pushy or arrogant. it was a pleasure to deal with them, and from someone who has previously said that they would never use agencies, we have been converted! thank you so much."
Lorraine Allison, Facilities Manager

"i have always found the service from Naomi at la creme to be highly professional. When we required a high profile PA for our CFO, Naomi rose to the challenge. constant communication, without being intrusive, constant feedback, without pressure and with real passion to get the right candidate in the role. Naomi was successful with this placement - long may the success continue."
Claire Clarke, Head of Recruitment and Policy, Argus Media Group
"we used la crème to recruit for a new receptionist. They sent quite a few promising cv's through promptly and we decided to interview most of the candidates put forward. There was one CV that we decided not to take forward because the person did not have very much office experience. But our la crème consultant advised us strongly that we should definitely interview this candidate as she had impressed the agency when they had met her. I was happy to take la crème's advice and when we met the candidate we were glad to have done so as she was so strong that we decided to offer her the job without even bothering with a second interview."
