From our clients & candidates

  • Amanda - Client, Membership Sector

    Anita, you lead a team of experts who provide what feels like a truly personal service. I always feel well looked after and know that when I am recruiting for a role that all Forté candidates (the successful and unsuccessful ones) are well looked after by you and your team.

  • Fiona - Candidate placed in Contract and Permanent work

    Mōrena!

    This is my last day employed by Forté as a temp. I have accepted the permanent role and start next week. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for all three contract roles Forté have placed me in and have met some great people and had some amazing opportunities to grow and learn. I have found Forté to be the best agency I have engaged with and love your approach, you are very unique, professional and caring. You have all been there if I needed you.

    I will definitely miss you all, but I am sure we will cross paths again. I wish you well in the future.

  • Maria - Candidate placed in permanent work

    Just a quick thank you for getting to know me today. This was a whole new experience for me, other country, other city, other people, first time on the train, first time in town... and then I got lost on top of everything... not even to mention the rain and wind. But... then I met nice people and at the end of the day it was actually an amazing experience. And now I am not so scared anymore.

  • Daphne - Client, Regulatory Sector

    From my very first contact with Forté Recruitment I was made to feel welcome. My recruitment consultant was really supportive, friendly, provided me with all the information I needed about the role and was really great at communicating the various steps in the process. Her professionalism was really appreciated and she made the process easy and stress free.

    I would highly recommend Forté to both recruiters and applicants. Thank you!

  • Gill - Candidate returning to workforce

    Wanting to return to employment after a lengthy absence, I approached Forté Recruitment. Shayna was able to dissect my resume to find my transferrable skills and experience and apply them to the job opportunity. She was extremely well briefed on her client's requirements and preferences and was open minded enough to put me forward, although I did not have all the relevant experience the client was initially looking for. I am now in the fourth month in the job and enjoying every minute. Thank you, Forté for a positive and supportive experience.

  • Paula - Client, Membership Sector

    I wanted to drop you a line to commend you and your team on the service you provide.

    As a client, I had dealings with three of your team.

    Please know that the service I have received from all Forté staff has been impeccable each time I've had contact.

    The team have been unbelievably outstanding. This is exactly the kind of assistance we should expect when we're looking for a service, but we both know that doesn't happen. 

    I am so thrilled that the same level of service has been carried through at 110% quality.  You do an amazing job of hiring the best people and bringing out the best of their qualities. 

    You have a valuable team of passionate, caring, good communicators and dedicated people. 

  • Candidate placed into permanent work

    Over the years I have dealt with many recruitment agencies and have never encountered such diligent workers in this space. My faith in their ability was never tested as they were steadfast in getting the job done. On an additional note I received a diary in the mail a couple of weeks after them landing me an amazing job. I had three interviews with two job offers thanks to them within a short period of time. I would strongly recommend you solicit their services and take on board some great tips they have to get you back on the work horse.

  • Candidate placed into fixed-term contract

    Far and away it was my best experience with a recruitment agency. Your team are incredibly professional and helpful and warm, and seemed really knowledgeable about the sector I was interested in, and were really supportive of my requests (for example, they didn't try to persuade me towards jobs or industries that I said I wasn't interested in :) (other agencies I've tried in the past have been quite pushy!) Great experience, I'd recommend you to anyone.

  • Candidate placed into employment

    All team members I have met so far have shown passion for what they do, experience, and have provided excellent communication and support.

  • Candidate placed into temporary employment

    Jude is always clear and upfront about expectations and the reality of the job market. Sometimes people can be direct, honest and brutal, but this is never the case with Jude, I always get direct, honest and kind.

  • Placed candidates

    Very easy to register and constant communication throughout the whole process.

    I have found the team at Forté really professional, supportive, and friendly. Thank you!

    Everyone is very welcoming and the team took their time to get to know me and work out what roles would be suitable for me.
