Quick Job Search
Let us help you find your dream job
Signing up with a recruitment agency to help you find your dream job should make things easy for you. Job candidates should feel like they’ve got someone doing the legwork for them, like they’ve got a job search PA or their own job coach.
And that’s exactly how we like to work. We aim to make finding your new perfect position a painless experience.
When job candidates get in touch with us, we will work in an open and honest way, and that’s all we expect in return. Together we will establish exactly what you can give to a role and what you need from that role. It’s this simple yet successful partnership that delivers such great results.
The impact that your job has on your life is huge, and with the majority of us spending longer at work than anywhere else it’s no surprise. We understand that the decision about where and how you work, and perhaps more importantly what you do, shapes so much more than just your hours between 9.00am to 5.00pm.
We aim to make the experience of finding your dream job painless
In every conversation we have with job candidates looking to make a change, our role can be very different depending on what you need from us. Some conversations are about us giving guidance, some are about offering support, some are for reassurance, and some are just about confirmation – we understand that every person who contacts us is an individual and has their own unique story, history, skills, ambitions and goals.
The first part of your journey with Vanilla will usually be a consultation with us, either on the telephone or via a video call on MS Teams or WhatsApp. The aim of this is for us to really get to know you; not just learn about your work history and skills set, but about your motivations, ambitions and personality too.

From the very start you were very professional supportive and helpful from registering, applying for the job, the interview process and continuing to provide on going support whilst in my temp to perm position.
You continued to check how I was getting on and speaking with my employer to receive updates on making my position permanent.
I have now successfully secured my permanent role.
Thank you for all of your help and support throughout I will happily be recommending you to others I know looking for employment!
Thank you

Should I find myself looking for my next role I would certainly get in touch with Kate.
Kate’s dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are truly commendable. She not only helped me secure a job but also went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. Her ability to understand my needs and match them with the right position was remarkable.
One specific instance stands out: Kate proactively connected me with relevant job openings, provided valuable insights, and guided me through the entire process. Her genuine interest in my success made all the difference.
In summary, Kate’s professionalism, integrity, and outstanding service make her an asset to any organization. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel and positively impact those she works with.
Even after helping me find something, the incredible service didn't stop, several follow ups to make sure everything was going well and a goodie bag with a congratulatory card which really was the icing on the cake.
Cannot speak highly enough of the help and service I received.
I'd hould recommend to anyone.
Jaimi went above and beyond from the first call received right through to after the interview process. Being at all times very approachable, friendly, supportive, and a professional recruiter who was getting the best out of me in preparing for the interview phase. It doesnt just stop therw.....I had the feeling I knew her for a long time and I had a friend beside me who understands my needs this is how comfortable she made me feel so I could open up and unleash to my fullest potential.
She`s great with people and I think shes an excellent role model. She impressed me so much that I advised her could become a LIFE COACH/MENTOR.
Thank you so much Jaimi!!!
Jaimini's dedication to her role is truly commendable. She goes above and beyond, taking the time to comprehensively prepare me for every facet of the application process. Whether it be before a crucial interview or in the aftermath, Jaimini remains a steadfast pillar of support. Her ability to provide guidance and insights is invaluable, making the entire experience seamless and empowering.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jaimini to anyone seeking a recruiter who not only excels in her role but also genuinely cares about the success and well-being of her candidates. In a professional landscape where such dedication is often rare, Jaimini's commitment to excellence truly sets her apart.
Thanks for everything Jaimini.
I have never received such high-class service during any recruitment exercise and would recommend Vanilla to anyone looking for a change. I certainly would not have considered such a massive life change as I have taken in this role without Vanilla there to help me along the way.
Thanks again !
It was also great to receive a card and a mug on my first day of work! It is the little things that keep us all happy. So thanks for that!!
Jodie came to visit the client where I was working and took time out to meet me - and brought me a gift! That was so touching.
I’ve only had really positive experiences with Jodie even when I was placed in a fixed term contract with an assignment she found for me. She kept in touch and made sure that everything was going smoothly and offered her help and expertise on a couple of HR issues I had. I never once felt like just a number on her books. I even received another set of gifts to say good luck with my new role! Everyone at the office was like ‘what kind of temp agency is this?!?!’ LOL
They’ve obviously never seen such a thing. I really appreciated how I’ve been treated as a temp worker as I know in the industry we’re neither here nor there for a lot of employers and often get treated that way, to speak frankly!
I would highly recommend using her at Vanilla recruitment to hopefully secure a new job they may have advertised.
I am very happy in my new role and it is very ideal for me, I have nothing negative to say about Jodie, I owe her a lot for finding me this opportunity & I’m very much looking forward to being taken on permanently by the company.
After having 1 interview, I secured the job and feel very excited about my new role! It is exactly what I have been looking for and the company has amazing values and great career opportunities!
I am really grateful to Jaimi for helping me to find this role and would highly recommend her to help in your job search.
If you are serious about changing job then look no further, ask for Jaimini she gets results! Very professional, down to earth individual who takes care to know you as a person and helps get the best results for you !
Jaimini is very hands on, she’s eager and results orientated. She’s the best at what she does and that shows. If there was a premier league for recruiters vanilla would be at the top and Jaimini would be star player.
Jaimini I can’t Thankyou again. Hopefully we don’t cross paths time anytime soon but if ever if feel the need to change my job up again without hesitation I will find you.
She had several jobs available and explained each one perfectly and definitely helped me understand what each job wanted and how my skillset would fit into each one.
she was through and her care and attention to detail during the whole process was first class.
Could not recommend this company enough to help you find the right next step for you.
So Thank You, Kate! Here’s to my new beginnings.
Thank you once again
