Testimonials

In my working life I have been part of screening for roles, none have been smoother than the application process that I have undergone with Rainbow HR. Tom made sure that I was heard, he never rushed me into making any decisions. From small gestures such as taking my CV, understanding my strengths and painting a better picture of what could be with my new attained role. I can’t thank him enough for pointing me in the correct direction when any uncertainty clouded my judgement. Tom was heavily involved, professional from start till finish, even checking on my progress after I was able to secure the role additionally sending myself a lovely card to congratulate me. To exemplify the level of care that you’re afforded when dealing with rainbow HR, Tom dealt with my situation all while he was on holiday, you can’t buy that level of commitment.

Working with Rainbow HR as a candidate was a fantastic experience. I would say they are like no other recruitment service out there from a candidate perspective. From the very first interaction from Tom on a Teams chat, he made me feel like he truly cared about my application, and that not only I was right for the job, but the role and the company were the right fit for me. Both Tom and Fiona were extremely attentive, supportive, have great communication skills, and both went the extra mile for me to ensure I was fully prepared for the interview and that I had everything I needed. Fiona took the time to review the presentation I prepared and offered great feedback, and Tom got in touch to see how things went even though he was on holiday. The follow up messages of congratulations and a lovely card in the post was a really nice touch and shows they truly care about their candidates. I can't thank both Fiona and Tom enough for their support and making the process very smooth, and if this is how they treat their clients seeking candidates, which I am sure it is, then I highly recommend Rainbow HR as a recruitment agency.

Securing a new role during a pandemic is not as easy as people might think, having been left hanging several times I was not holding out too much hope when Tom got in touch. I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge Tom had about the company and he was able to answer any questions or queries I had. He was always quick to reply to any emails I sent.

Nothing was too much trouble and Tom was able to guide me through the offer, including dealing with some questions I had around the contract. I highly recommend Rainbow HR for their professionalism and commitment.

"Applying for jobs after graduating is a daunting task and left me feeling like an imposter who didn't have enough work experience within the field, so I reached out to Fiona for advice on how to make my CV and cover letters stand out. Fiona was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, providing tips on how to showcase my strongest skills and helping me build confidence in the knowledge and experience that I have. She also went above and beyond by helping me search for suitable roles and coaching me before any upcoming interviews. I was introduced to Tom, who was kind enough to show me how to effectively use LinkedIn as a tool for job seeking and its importance for connecting with other passionate people within the industry. Their expert advice enabled me to approach opportunities with confidence, and I was able to land the perfect role for this stage in my career. Thank you, Fiona and Tom."

I can’t recommend Rainbow HR highly enough. After being out of work for 8 months I wondered why I wasn’t getting many interviews. An old friend put me in touch with The Fairy Job Mother. I then had a chat with Tom (who is an ex-work colleague, small world). He looked over my CV and gave me a thorough and honest critique of my CV. Right away he spotted all the issues and made suggestions on how to make it more appealing to hiring managers. After making the necessary changes I sent my new and improved CV over to Tom and he gave it the thumbs up. I then released my new and improved CV out into the world. I am now back in employment.

Applying for roles where experience is always required can be frustrating, particularly if you are a recent graduate.

Countless applications yielded nothing, more often with no response or acknowledgement.

Tom managed to secure an interview for a trainee role with one of his clients. He was able to offer good interview advice and kept in touch up regularly, giving advice and providing good background info.

I was delighted when he called to give me feedback on the interview as I knew this would help me going forward, but I was stunned when he said the client was offering me the role, I had no hesitation in accepting.

Can’t thank Fiona and Tom enough for their support during my job search!

They offered advice and online webinars that were extremely useful when looking for my next job opportunity! During such a horrible time, the support and kindness both they and others have provided have been a positive I won’t forget.

If you’re currently faced with looking for a new role, I would recommend getting in touch with them.

From the moment I spoke with Rainbow HR I just knew they were a “different” recruiter.

My application was acknowledged immediately by Tom, not a robot or generic email. He then arranged a call when it suited me as I was in a role.

The client interview itself was great, very relaxed and I was lucky enough to be offered the role on the spot and I accepted.

The final surprise was the lovely hand signed “congratulations” card from Tom and Fiona.

Rainbow HR are a great company, run by people with real expertise.

I have used Rainbow HR for recruitment to support transformational change within our business over an 18-month period. Fiona’s first priority was to understand our business culture and need. That understanding enables her to recruit the right people with the right skills for us. Her knowledge of the rail sector is excellent, and I have always found her to be professional and responsive when priorities change. I would highly recommend the service Fiona offers as a recruitment partner.

I was grateful for the time invested to understand my previous roles which laid out my skillset, shaped my new CV and prepared me for job applications. This was used on my LinkedIn profile also, which Tom is an expert on. As I was in between roles, the advice and expertise offered was invaluable. Particularly as it was 9 years since I applied for jobs. I am pleased to report I landed a great job in just a few months.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all at Rainbow HR for your help and guidance through the selection process when I applied for the Lead Auditors role with Porterbrook.

It was easy to talk to you regarding my up-and-coming interview and it was helpful prior to my interview that you gave me some information on the interviewees and Porterbrook as a company.

I felt totally prepared when attending the interview which, with your help and guidance went very smoothly. Once again a big thank you for your help through the process.

In my most recent experience of job hunting, I have not felt such support before and after care when going for a position.

I have not felt as well prepared for an interview.

Previously I never -

• Received any coaching for the process.
• Received proper, actionable feedback normally it’s something like “we had a high standard of applicants” or “other candidates were a closer fit”

Sometimes things go unsaid but I wanted to say thank you to Rainbow HR for what you have done with this position.

Rainbow HR (Fiona) was critical in facilitating my appointment as Head of Digital Services for Porterbrook Leasing. The prompt and personal approach made the process seamless and aptly targeted. It has resulted in a successful match of skillset, requirements and experience.

I cannot thank Tom enough for all his assistance and expertise in securing my new role. He was thorough and well informed on the company, the role and what was expected from the client and always responded quickly to any queries I may have - even whilst on holiday! I have both worked for, and with, other recruitment agencies, and I can highly recommend Rainbow HR for their considered approach to candidate care and ensuring you are well prepared. Tom is personable and straightforward, which I respond well to, and he really made the whole process completely stress free.

Fiona was instrumental in my successful placement as Reliability Task Force Lead at Porterbrook. Her knowledge and understanding of the business as well as her ability to extract key skills and qualities of candidates resulted in a perfect match between Porterbrook and myself.

She helped to create that personal connection between my CV and the hiring manager to further strengthen my application. She has enabled me to take the next positive stride in accelerating my career forward

Rainbow HR are an excellent recruitment business. Tom helped me land my ideal job and kept me informed throughout the process by offering sound advice and was always a phone call or an email away to help! I was kept up to date at all times and was never left wondering where I stood, I highly recommend.

I was looking for a new role where I could develop my skills and knowledge. I engaged with Rainbow HR, Tom was fantastic, took time to get to understand my ideal role and my skills. Tom has worked to help me secure anew role using my skills and being stretched to learn new skills. Tom was in contact throughout the process from submitting my CV to arranging the interview (including meeting me on the day of the interview to ensure I was well prepared) up to the offer and a quick message on day one of the role.

Top class service.

I was aware of Rainbow HR for many years and recently required their services to help recruit for site administrators in England and Scotland. Tom was fantastic to work with; he was very easy to chat to, he listened and discussed in detail what our requirements were, which in turn meant that the candidates that he put forward to us for selection had the relevant experience and qualities that we were looking for. This made the whole recruitment process more efficient and far less time consuming for us. I’d highly recommend Rainbow HR for any recruitment requirements.

Everything from applying for the role to getting the job to the offer has been nothing but amazing! I cannot thank Tom enough for all his support throughout this process. After being unemployed for 3 months and struggling - going through such a hard time, I can finally say I am happy and back on my feet, all thanks to Tom! I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a new job role, Rainbow HR is the way to go!’

We had a specific recruitment request and we were looking for someone who could give us that extra bit of support to secure the right person for the role. Tom was clearly very knowledgeable and able to guide us through the process and we are thankful to now have our vacancy filled

I've had the pleasure of working with Rainbow HR as an associate HR Consultant for the last 18 months, and they have been an excellent Company to work with. They consistently provide high-quality assignments & opportunities, pay promptly, and have always been on-hand to offer support during each project if I’ve needed it. I would highly recommend Rainbow HR to anyone looking for a variety of projects and opportunities in the associate HR consultancy space.

After recently being made redundant I was in a bit of a panic but speaking to Tom was a great help. He was supportive and gave me some helpful and honest feedback for my search. He helped me prepare for my interview and secure a new job taking a huge weight off my mind. Finishing touch was wishing me luck and congratulations with a new job card too. Hope to not need his help again soon but would definitely recommend Rainbow HR.

I can't thank Tom enough for his exceptional support in securing my new role. His unwavering reliability and constant availability made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's clear that Tom approaches his work with meticulous thought and dedication, ensuring that every aspect of the opportunity was well-considered. His efforts were instrumental in making this career move a reality, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Tom is undoubtedly a remarkable recruiter who goes above and beyond to help his clients succeed.

Dealing with Rainbow HR is always simple, they are easy to contact and quick to get back on any requests. When I’m ready for my next assignment I am confident that Rainbow HR have something suitable for me as they have excellent contacts and a wide client base. Once work has been carried out they are extremely quick to pay, in fact Tom often chases me to send my invoices, normally I am paid in a couple of days and often on the day my invoice is submitted I have no hesitation in recommending Rainbow HR to prospective client and candidates, they are friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

I have been fortunate enough to obtain a number of temporary interim assignments through Rainbow HR since 2018. Fiona and Tom are particularly adept at finding roles which are both interesting and of high quality and which also suit my particular skills and experience. Their communication throughout the on-boarding process is first class and I always know going into any assignment the people I will be working with, the culture of the organisation, initial length of contract etc. Similarly, the subsequent invoicing process is very straight-forward and prompt payment of my invoices is always guaranteed, with Tom being particularly clear about when I should expect payment. As a result, I would not hesitate in recommending Rainbow HR, to anyone who was looking for a recruitment agency to provide invaluable support in helping them find high calibre interim roles.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Fiona and Tom at Rainbow HR. They provide an excellent and very responsive service that I can’t recommend enough. Fiona was key in securing and facilitating my appointment as a Project Manager and it is a perfect match to my skills and experience. I was supported to make sure I had the flexibility I needed from the role. Tom is always on-hand to give advice and support. I can’t thank them enough for guiding me through the process and for the professionalism and speed of both the responses and payments.

We were recruiting a new CEO for our heritage-based charity in SE London, and Tom and Fiona from Rainbow helped us every step of the way, despite our limited funds. Their search process introduced us to a brilliant set of highly qualified and experienced candidates, and it was a difficult choice, but Rainbow provided excellent advice to help us make the final decision. Tom and Fiona’s personal, small-firm approach matched our culture and needs perfectly and ensured that our budget could be met but with a high-quality process. We cannot thank them enough.
