Hoople has been the ideal admin supply agency for us, and the team has consistently been so helpful, giving us exactly the admin support we need.
Hoople Recruitment were able to open a door for me into gaining experience in my chosen field. They were successful in finding me a role as an agency worker, which eventually led me into securing a permanent position in a school. I found the staff to be extremely helpful. Kerry, especially, was always at the end of the phone and was quick to solve any problems in a friendly yet effective manner.
We have rarely had to appoint new staff over the last ten years, with people only leaving when they reach retirement age so, with five retirements in the last eight months, recruitment has seemed a daunting challenge. Nick, our Recruitment Consultant, has eased the way, and we have filled all our posts in a timely manner, finding people very suited to the roles we had vacant. Thank You Hoople
