TPP GIVING BACK
At TPP, our principles guide everything we do and our people are committed to driving them through every aspect of our business, using them as the foundation stones on which to build mutually beneficial relationships with candidates and organisations.
As part of our commitment to non-profit and public sector organisations, we have set up a TPP Giving Back programme, offering various additional free services to non-profit organisations.
I was approached by Danielle for a Trainer opportunity, and was not initially actively looking for a new role. I was never made to feel pressured, was given a lot of information, and was able to ask endless questions. Danielle was extremely accessible and always happy to help. I received an extremely professional service throughout and was offered an amazing opportunity which I accepted!
Danielle Tramontin, Business Manager, suggested that I apply for a position that I had not previously considered and was extremely helpful in forwarding my existing CV. Low and behold I got an interview and the job. Thank you Danielle without you I would still be looking.
Danielle Tramontin, was my contact. She was very supportive, kind and very effecient during a very difficult time especially after being made redundant.I have always loved your jobs and so pleased that I have been successful through you.Would highly recommend.
The experience I had (and have had over the years) with TPP is amazing, I must admit it was a pleasure working with Angela and Bita. Working with Angela is more than forwarding your documents to a prospective employer but the process is thorough , professional and you get a lot of guidance and help all the way.
The TPP agent was very professional and responsive. The process was easy and the information provided was very helpful. Altogether a very good service.
We found a brilliant candidate through TPP. I was really impressed with all of the CVs they sent through for the role. They were very helpful in terms of arranging interviews and talking me through everything I needed to do.
I am really happy with my new role and Chenda was great throughout the entire process. Very friendly, always kept me updated and responded to my queries very fast. Can't thank you enough :)
Think I said enough above, Kristina, was/is outstanding, kept in touch, communication very good.
I have already recommended Mark and TPP to colleagues who are contractors. The best agency I have ever worked with. Mark checked in at every step of the process and I really felt like he was working for me.
Mark at TPP was brilliant. He always made sure I had all the information I needed ahead of interviews, and was supportive and kind.
