Reviews
What clients and candidates say on Google.
“I had a really positive experience with Katy and Humand Talent throughout the recruitment process. Katy was incredibly supportive and always kept me updated in a timely manner. She guided me through each stage of the interview process, which made the whole experience much easier and less stressful. She is very kind, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Whenever I needed any clarification or had questions about the role or interview process, she was always available to help and provided clear and useful information. I really appreciated Katy’s communication, support, and positive attitude throughout the process. My overall experience with Humand Talent has been excellent, and I would highly recommend Katy and the Humand Talent team to anyone looking for professional and supportive recruitment guidance.”
“I had a fantastic experience working with Humand Talent. Jess was absolutely lovely to work with and provided incredible support throughout my application process. She offered a lot of valuable guidance and maintained clear, timely communication at every step. Even though this specific role didn't turn out to be the right fit, Jess went above and beyond by securing actionable feedback for me. The collaboration was great, and I would definitely be happy to work with them again in the future!”
“I worked with Poppy at Humand Talent earlier this year, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. She took the time to understand what I was actually looking for, and connected me with the opportunity at Vicon — which turned out to be a great fit. What stood out most was that Poppy didn't disappear once I accepted the offer. She followed up after I started to check in on how things were going, and even let me know that my manager, Chris, had told her I was a great addition to the team and doing well. Now almost three months in, I'm feeling happy and settled in at Vicon, and I'd recommend Humand Talent — and Poppy specifically — to anyone in the U.K. or U.S. looking for a recruiter who matches you with the right opportunity, and actually stays in touch after you start.”
“Honestly, Humand Talent Limited has been amazing to work with. Finding a job can be so stressful, but they were super reactive and a really reliable point of contact the whole time, which took away so much anxiety. They genuinely listen to what you need, know exactly what info to give you, and they actually have serious job offers. They are just great at finding you a good opportunity that truly suits you. A big thank you to Adrian and Joseph for all their help!”
