"Liverpool at work is a great service that helped me set up the majority of staff for a new store within a weeks notice. I will be using it in the future and have passed them on to a number of my colleagues to benefit from the really good work that they do. All my applicants had received an application form, been screened and invited to an interview within the week and at one of their locations. I only needed 5 employees but wished I could have taken more due to the high standard of the applicants. Time saving and of a really good quality!"
- Mark Williams, Store Manager- Tesco Express
"As part of our commitment to 'localism' for the use of local labour and trades GB Building Solutions felt that it was important to demonstrate this commitment. In conjunction with Liverpool In Work we were able to notify a rich seam of trades and services who, thankfully, presented themselves at our Supplier Engagement day to register their details with us which we now wish to take forward and expand our supply chain. Liverpool In Work have been extremely proactive and helpful to us in this matter and I would strongly recommend that any other companies who are seeking to win public or private works in Liverpool make use of them."
- John Owen, Communications Manager NW
"I just wanted to say how well Brian in particular, interviewed. He had a very person centred approach and made it clear that he had learnt a lot on your course. "
- CIC
"Service was brilliant! We needed to recruit over 70 staff for our new store whilst still running another branch. Liverpool in Work took a lot of pressure from us by sifting through at all the CV's from applicants, arranging the interviews so all we had to do was turn up on the day to interview the potential staff. They also were able to let us use their premises for interviews & induction days."
- Barbara Davey, Store Manger of B&M Stores
Samantha Carmody started working for us on 21/3/12. Already she has had a positive impact on the company. Co-workers have praised her for her ability to relate to the Service Users and the excellent care she provides. Her manager, Tracey Gilmore, said that Sam had told her after her first day shadowing, that she already felt that this was the job for her, and that she would be very happy doing it. Tracey said that her enthusiasm is really refreshing. I also asked for Service User feedback from a Service User who makes regular complaints. He was full of praise about Sam, stating that she is a 'natural carer' and he and his wife feel very comfortable with her.
