Vanilla Recruitment

I cannot recommend Kate Goodman and Vanilla Recruitment highly enough. From our very first conversation, Kate took the time to truly understand my background, experience, and what I was looking for in my next role. She didn’t just match me with a job; she matched me with the right opportunity, one that aligned perfectly with my skills, career aspirations, and personal circumstances. Throughout the entire recruitment process, Kate was incredibly supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer valuable interview preparation and advice that gave me the confidence to perform at my best. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt informed, encouraged, and supported. Thanks to Kate’s hard work, dedication, and expertise, I secured a fantastic role that I am genuinely excited about. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and personal approach set her apart from many recruiters I have worked with over the years. I am incredibly grateful for everything Kate has done for me and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for their next career opportunity. Thank you, your support has made a real difference, and I will always be thankful for helping me find such a fantastic role.

I went on several interviews that were organising via Vanilla Recruitment. I spoke with Kate regularly. She was so helpful with finding me the right position, having pre and post interview chats. I have been offered a great role, exactly what I was looking for, Kate set it all up and helped me from start to finish. I will look to Vanilla Recruitment for any future help with job hunting!

Jaimi first contacted me; I’d been made redundant from a job that wasn’t for me, I was doing a ‘filler role’ as I have bills etc so couldn’t be out of work but also wanted to find something for a career. Jaimi was incredibly helpful and given my ADHD and neurodiversity gave me the nudge and confidence I needed. 2 months into my new role and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Jaimi

can thoroughly recommend Vanilla Recruitment for recruitment services. Kate and Jaimi have been very proactive and supportive consultants in sourcing quality candidates in both Finance roles and warehouse supervisor roles. They are very proactive and their follow-up service once candidates are place is very good compared to other recruitment consultancy agencies I've worked with. Vanilla Recruitment as a provider are also very good at providing other services including HR Huddle which is an excellent support network for the HR community (and non-HR managers). Can definitely recommend!

I had a fantastic experience working with Kate. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and what I was truly looking for in my next role. Their communication was clear, timely, and supportive throughout the entire process. What really stood out was their professionalism and dedication — they provided valuable guidance at every stage, from preparing for interviews to negotiating the final offer. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to secure a role that perfectly aligns with my aspirations. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable recruitment consultant.

I have worked with Kate at Vanilla for a number of years recruiting for team members. Kate makes sure that she understands our requirements and our team fit to ensure that the candidates sent through are suitable. More recently I was personally looking for a change in role and Kate placed with my current employer. Working with Kate and Vanilla for a number of years, Kate got to know me and my capabilities, which resulted in a quick placement. Recently, I have again been working with Kate at Vanilla for new team members at my current employer. It has been nice to work both ways with Kate and Vanilla, so I have seen the full process as a recruiter and recrute and it has always been professional. I highly recommend Vanilla Recruitment, working with Kate is an added benefit - Thank you Kate

Kate at vanilla has been amazing in placing me in my new role. The whole process from start to finish she has made sure I’ve had anything and contacted me and followed up at every stage of the interview process and afterwards to make sure I am ready for my new role. Thanks again Kate.

Kerrie and the team were and still are absolutely incredible, between the opportunity itself, the correspondence, and their overall professional but consultative mannerisms they couldn’t have made for a better experience in such a daunting endeavour

Eloise has been absolutely brilliant when supporting with my application! She was quick at responding, provided clarity on the process and answered any questions I had regarding the role. Thank you again for helping me secure my new job, I would highly recommend Vanilla Recruitment to anyone searching a new career path or role 🙂

We have never been fans of using an agency to recruit an employee, but didn't relish the thought of ploughing through hundreds of CV's and arranging interviews. Vanilla Recruitment was recommended to us, so we decided to try them on this occasion. We have been very pleasantly surprised at how easy Vanilla made things. Kate came to our office to see where the employee would be working. She gained a thorough understanding of what the role entailed and what sort of person we were looking for. Kate took on the task of contacting suitable people, sorting through the CV's, chatting to the candidates, then arranging the interviews, just a few at a time. We were given an in-depth CV, as well as a brief sum up to advise why the candidate, in Vanilla's opinion, was a good choice for our role. Kate offered to sit in on our interview, and afterwards, she gave us feedback from the candidate and advised them of our feedback. We took someone on, but on that occasion, it didn't pan out as planned. However, it was not something anyone could have foreseen. Kate was really professional and just set about finding us another candidate and in less than three weeks, we had interviewed again and found the perfect person for the role. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Kate and her team and I can't recommend their services enough. Communication was constant, candidates were all worth us seeing and it worked out really well for us using an agency. Thank you Team Vanilla.

I couldn’t recommend Vanilla Recruitment highly enough. Over the past 10 years, Kate Goodman has placed me in three fantastic roles as my finance career has progressed — a career that Vanilla recruitment and Kate helped to kick-start when I first entered the field. On total Vanilla have placed me 4 times, the first time being in 2014 fresh out of A levels. I wouldn't go anywhere else when I'm searching for a new opportunity.

I had a fantastic experience with Eloise and the. team. The end to end process from initial consultation > interviews > to job offer took 2 weeks which was brilliant. Eloise made me feel at ease and communication was regular to keep me in the loop.

Kate was extremely helpful in helping me find an Accounts Assistant very quickly. She understood exactly what I needed and provided the right candidate in a short time. Her support made the recruitment process smooth and efficient. I truly appreciate her professionalism and would highly recommend her services.

Jaimi was lovely to speak with, enthusiastic and full of helpful advice throughout the whole process from initial contact through to interview and feedback stage really spot on.

I have had the pleasure of working with Vanilla for over 11 years across different areas of our business and they continue to impress with the quality of their service. What sets them apart is their thorough understanding of both our business needs and the calibre of candidates they put forward — they always take the time to get it right. As an independent local company, their support goes far beyond recruitment. They provide excellent opportunities for networking, both online and in person and regularly host events that keep us up to date with the latest HR trends. From a business point of view, this combination of recruitment expertise and community engagement is invaluable.

Kate is the most professional recruiter i have met. She went through my registration and application very thoroughly but at a pace that suited me. She also gave me some interview tips that were very helpful. I couldn't have been more prepared, and I got the job! I have been telling everyone how impressed I was. I would definitely recommend Kate to anyone seeking work.

I had the pleasure of working with Kate Goodman at Vanilla Unique Recruitment, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our initial conversation, Kate was professional, personable, and clearly dedicated to finding the right fit – not just for the company, but for me as a candidate. She took the time to understand my experience and what I was genuinely looking for in my next role. Throughout the process, Kate was incredibly supportive, keeping me updated at every stage and offering thoughtful advice and insight along the way. Thanks to her efforts, I’ve secured a role that aligns perfectly with both my skills and long-term goals. It’s rare to come across someone in recruitment who is not only efficient and knowledgeable, but also genuinely cares – and that’s exactly what you get with Kate. A real credit to the profession.

I had a fantastic experience working with Jaimini Rainford at Vanilla. Jaimini reached out to me and from the moment I spoke with her she has been professional, highly knowledgable, supportive and has truly guided me through every step of the process, which helped me secure my new role. I’m very grateful for her assistance and excited to start this next chapter in my career.

What can i say this Lady is Legend!! Thank you for being enthusiastic, supportive checking in on me and generally being a great recruiter - you are a credit to your company!!! Ten out of ten Jaimi Rainford

Friendly, human, and relentlessly supportive, Vanilla truly sets the standard in recruitment. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Vanilla Recruitment. Eloise and the team made the entire process feel seamless and supportive from day one. Eloise, in particular, went out of her way at every opportunity, always one step ahead, making the process exciting and empowering. Vanilla genuinely cares about finding the right fit, and it shows.

By far the best recruitment agency I've worked with; absolute professionalism and excellent communication throughout the whole process.

Jodie at Vanilla Recruitment is simply outstanding. From just a conversation and a look at my CV, she pinpointed the perfect public sector role for me. Her invaluable interview prep made all the difference, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her clients' success. I'm thriving in my new position, and it's all thanks to Jodie's expertise and dedication. I'm grateful for the support and regular check-ins. Her inherent passion for helping people evidently compliments her talent acquisition prowess; it's an approach that truly shines through in every interaction.
