Simon
Engineering Manager
We would like to take a moment to recognise and appreciate the exceptional work done by Bloom Connections in recruiting a frontend engineer for our growing team.
What makes Bloom Connections' achievement even more commendable is their willingness to step out of their comfort zone. Initially, the frontend engineer role was unfamiliar to them. However, they took the initiative to gain a thorough understanding of the position and its technical aspects. They dove into learning and researching to ensure they could recruit a suitable candidate.
Despite the challenges, Bloom Connections demonstrated remarkable adaptability. They proactively sought guidance, collaborated with experts, and leveraged available resources to familiarise themselves with the intricacies of the frontend engineer role. Their commitment to expanding their knowledge and skills showcases their dedication to providing exceptional recruitment support.
Furthermore, Bloom Connections applied their newfound understanding effectively throughout the recruitment process. Their ability to discern the required technical expertise, identify potential candidates, and facilitate meaningful evaluations truly impressed us.
Brett
Sales Manager
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Bloom Connections, from the outset they have kept me in the loop and really took on board feedback around CVs so that the skills I am looking for were met quickly and effectively. Would highly recommend Bloom Connections if you're looking for that personal touch and not your average run of the mill recruitment agency.
Heather
General Manager
The experience with Bloom Connections is exceptional, which is why they are our sole recruiter for permanent roles. From discussing the vacancy, to sourcing suitable candidates Claire had an excellent understanding of our requirement. The whole process was easy, seamless and well worth the fee. Thanks so much Claire.
Natalie
Head of marketing
Bloom Connections were brilliant in helping us fill a new role recently and made the whole process easy from start to finish.
After receiving dozens of CVs in response to the job advertisement they screened a number of applicants for us, which meant we only saw really relevant, high-quality candidates. They touched base with us after every interview for feedback and I know they did the same with the candidates, keeping us all informed and up to date along the way.
The team completely took control of the recruitment process for us and I am delighted with our new recruit!
Samantha
CEO
We used Bloom Connections to help us find our new addition to our Senior Management team, and they have been wonderful throughout the whole process. We sat down to discuss the role and our ideal candidate and shortly after we were presented with candidates. A few interviews later (all arranged by Bloom Connections), we offered one of the candidates a job. The whole process from start to finish was without doubt one of the easiest we’ve come across with any recruitment consultancy. The team were friendly and personable and really made sure that both we as the client and the candidate were happy at every stage. I can’t recommend them enough, and will definitely use Bloom Connections when I’m hiring again.
Joanna
Governance Manager
We have been working with Bloom Connections for a few years now and have always found them to be professional, efficient, and helpful to our needs. Claire Hancox, in particular, has been extremely supportive and thorough in her searches in order to provide the right candidate for us and we have successfully appointed a number of staff as a result of this.
Neal
Building Manager
The whole process from start to finish was an incredibly professional and supportive experience, completely removing any stress from the recruitment process. Bloom Connections consistently provides the highest quality service, is fully engaged in the process, and truly wants what’s best for both the employer and the employee, as well as having a wonderful understanding of the candidate’s individual qualities and how they are applicable to our needs.
We were presented with a number of high-quality candidates who had been fully briefed on the role and company. We’re delighted with the outcome and would recommend Bloom Connections to any employers looking to recruit.

Sajawal
Candidate
I would like to take a moment to shout out Jak for reaching out to me for the new role. This was an unexpected albeit welcome surprise when I received the first call. From 1st call, to the in-house screening process to putting me forward to Interview Jak has been an example of recruitment done right. Jak has more than helped with any queries, concerns, and overall prepped me to the point I had nothing to fear when attending the interview. Communication with Jak before and after this stage has been on the money and as promised in terms of timekeeping and I am grateful for the support!

Bloom Connections made the process of applying for a new role easy and stress free. I was contacted quickly by Claire, who was very friendly and helpful. We then had a Teams call, where Claire made me feel at ease and talked me through their recruitment process. I was kept updated during the recruitment cycle and was asked for feedback after I started my new role. I would definitely recommend applying for a role with Bloom Connections.
Dally
Candidate
My experience with Bloom Connections was very different to my usual dealings with agencies and trust me I have dealt with many! What I loved about Bloom Connections was that they were so personable and made me feel like a human rather just a candidate. In my initial conversation I was so comfortable and the job was explained to me properly, and it was like I was talking to a friend which immediately made me feel relaxed.
Jak is very experienced at what she does, she picked my CV perfectly for the job as I got an interview for the role and then I was successful in getting the job! I really feel part of this was because of how I was supported throughout the process and it kept me upbeat and positive and as I result I now have a job I love! Thank you!
Bethany
Candidate
The recruitment process was swift and very efficient. Jak was lovely and had faith in me, the moment she read my CV. Her bubbly personality and effective communication made the process enjoyable and stress free. She went out of her way to gain feedback for me, which was great and put me at ease. Jak was a wonderful asset in this employment process! So thank you!
Ashleigh
Candidate
The recruitment process with Bloom Connections really amazed me. They were there from start to finish and would communicate with me as much as they could with any updates. Jak listened to me and made me feel so welcome and comfortable before I even had an interview which made me a lot less nervous going to the interview. After finding out I had got the job I received a good luck text message and a welcome card through the post from all the team which was a great touch! Thank you Jak for being there from the start!
Josh
Candidate
From start to finish, my experience has been amazing. From the first call from Jak, to the first day, I couldn’t have hoped for a smoother transition into a new role.
The weekly calls/email from Jak leading up to my start date and even the phone call the day before I started really helped show what company I was joining and to top it off a welcome card signed from the whole team posted to my house, which I have never experienced and was a great touch.
Can only thank Jak for the great experience I received.
Kris
Candidate
I was amazed at how quickly I got a response after emailing my interest for a role, and from then on, the process was so supportive.
Bloom Connections got back to me and guided me through the process, we had a casual and stress-free videocall to go through the position and have a true first meeting. From there they arranged a second stage videocall and chatted to me before, giving me a call straight after as well. It really felt like they were in my corner and pushing for me to get the position.
This was no standard recruitment process; this was a welcome. Instead of the nerves, waiting on tenterhooks and anxiety I was guided through a positive and supportive process.
Ciera
Candidate
The recruitment process which lead to me getting the role was a pleasure.
Jak has supported me throughout the whole experience. After seeing my CV, I had a phone call with Jak to discuss more about me and what type of jobs I am interested in and to see if the role is suited to me. I was provided with detailed emails about the job and interview too, along with always staying in contact throughout the whole process. Jak went above and beyond to help me find a job that is perfect for me.
Claire
Candidate
Your support and belief has truly meant so much to me. Although I feel proud to have got the job, I think you should feel proud to help people like me get a job that they want to do and will enjoy, it makes a massive difference to people's lives. Having been made redundant from my current role I contacted Bloom Connections to ask for help in putting my CV forward to help me find a new role. Within a day they had sent me a job description for a role that was perfect for me and me for it. They introduced me to the client and within a day I was having an interview.
Jak at Bloom Connections has the ability in making you feel confident and able to feel proud in selling yourself - something that I believe has helped me get the job that she put me forward for. I cannot thank you enough - you're amazing!
Sam
Candidate
The Bloom Connections process surprised me. I have never felt so wanted and welcomed by a company, my family was also pleasantly surprised at the welcome card from the team. All in all the best start to a new job anyone could hope for.
