Testimonials

  • Zenith People is a brilliant example of what a true partner looks like – highly responsive, behaves like one of your team and incredibly professional. The value they have added ranges from helping us specify what skills and expertise we need right through to rapidly scaling our operations. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them as a recruitment partner.

    Nicki Clark
    Commercial & IT Recruitment
  • “We have been working with Zenith People now for over two years, and they have provided us with a range of services, including the recruitment of Trades, IT, Administration & Customer Support, HR and Technical staff. They have also provided apprenticeship training, leadership and management workshops and other staff training programmes where required. During that time, we have found them to be a reliable and consultative partner who provide a value-adding service that holds our business objectives and interests at heart. They are interested in what is best for our business and want to work together to help us successfully deliver our business strategy.”

    Phil Pallister
    Construction & Commercial Recruitment
  • “Zenith People have been a breath of fresh air in the IT recruitment arena in the North East. They are a real pleasure to deal with, helpful, supportive, get results for us, and at the same time is not annoyingly pushy and appreciates we have day jobs to do as well as recruitment. Their support of the regional IT sector is first class. Their passion and commitment to enabling the region to be successful in filling the IT digital skills gap are so refreshing to see. Their consultants get that collaboration in the current digital climate is paramount to success for the industry as a whole. I would class Zenith People as a partner, not just one of our suppliers.”

    Michelle Crosby
    Commercial Recruitment
  • “I have worked with Zenith People since the business started way back in 2001 and have always had a strong relationship with the team. They understand the North East candidate market extremely well, enabling them to provide the best advice and guidance around recruitment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as your recruitment agency.”
