TPP have been exceptional to work with. They are our go-to recruitment organisation when we need temporary members of staff to support us during busy periods. They are always very efficient and easy to work with, and the candidates that they provide for us are always highly skilled and hard working. Penny in particular has been a joy to work with and has gotten to know our organisational needs and culture so well in order to provide us with the best possible support.
Working with you has been a great experience! You’ve been incredibly accommodating, supportive and understanding throughout the process. I really appreciated your expertise and the way you always strived to find the right candidate for the role. Recruiting can be stressful at times, but your professionalism and calm demeanour made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. On top of that, you consistently worked quickly and delivered exactly to the timelines agreed in advance.
Working with Sarah at TPP was such a smooth process with a positive outcome. Her passion and dedication to find the right candidate was very reassuring as a hiring manager and she shortlisted a fantastic group of candidates. All candidates were of a high standard, and we have been very happy with our chosen person. The whole process was clear and efficient, with clear communication, a quick turnaround and genuine passion to find the best candidate.
Sarah has been brilliant throughout this year helping me with recruiting temporary support staff. It’s a pleasure working with Sarah and other TPP colleagues in her team, who are always responding promptly to emails and calls. Sarah has a good grasp on how to identify right candidates for the roles matching their experience with client requirements and is always happy to give useful tips and advice on recruitment trends for membership organisations. Her cheerful nature and sense of humour is a bonus – making working with her effortless.
Kate was extremely professional, providing timely updates and excellent quality CVs and candidates for the role. We found some excellent temporary support and I’m grateful for Kate and the team at TPP for making the hiring process so much easier.
We have worked with TPP for some time as they have a great understanding of the charities and fundraising market but also as they have partnered with us on multiple roles, they also have a really good sense of what works for us and what doesn't in terms of candidate fit. Penny worked directly with us on a recent Interim Head of Funding role. The position was difficult as we needed someone with a very specific skillset in a very short timeframe. Penny was able to find us relevant and suitably qualified candidates at pace and offer advice on what would work best in the role, with the result that we filled the role with a very quick turnaround.
