I've had the pleasure of working with Martyn at Shire & Wold Staffing, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first conversation, he was personable, approachable, and genuinely likeable. He took the time to really understand my skills, aspirations, and what I was looking for in my next role, making the whole process feel personal and tailored. Martyn consistently goes above and beyond a typical recruiter, he keeps in touch regularly, shares relevant opportunities, and provides guidance and encouragement every step of the way. Even when the job search feels tough or discouraging, he is the kind of person who makes you feel supported, understood, and motivated to keep going. What really stands out is his professionalism combined with a human touch, he genuinely cares about the people he works with, not just filling roles. Martyn is reliable, responsive, and proactive, and it’s clear he takes pride in helping candidates find the right fit. I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with him and know he makes a real difference for the people he supports. A fantastic recruiter and a truly great person.

Zoe and Annalisa have been consistently a pleasure to work with. They really take the time to get you understand you as an individual and find out what kind of role would be most suited. I never have to chase for feedback and responses and they are very proactive. I was employed at my current role using Shire & Wold and and I am still in contact now I'm looking to move on. Highly recommend!
