Candidates

Honest Recruiter - A Rare Find As an applicant, Anne took every effort to ensure I felt comfortable, had every bit of information I could ask for, and tailored her approach to suit me. Her contentiousness was well appreciated. Most importantly, she was open and honest throughout and did everything that she said she was going to do. I’ve engaged with a lot of recruiters over the years and Anne definitely is up near the top.


Extremely helpful with the prep and genuinely invested in the candidate’s success! Thank you so much 😊


Anne at New Ventures is a rare find! I can’t recommend Anne at New Ventures Recruitment highly enough. She recently helped me secure a role as an HR Case Manager, and the experience was genuinely outstanding. From the outset, Anne impressed me with her deep understanding of HR functions and the realities of working in the profession. This meant the support she offered was not just generic or surface-level, it was incredibly personalised, relevant, and grounded in the actual demands of the role. She truly ‘got’ what we do as HR professionals, and that makes a massive difference. Unlike some recruiters I’ve dealt with in the past - who have misrepresented roles or gone quiet partway through the process. Anne was transparent, communicative, and supportive from start to finish. She went above and beyond, offering honest guidance, regular check-ins, and real encouragement. I always felt like she was fully in my corner. If you're looking for a recruiter who genuinely understands HR and cares about getting it right for both candidate and employer, Anne is a rare find. Highly and unquestionably recommended.


Absolutely lovely to speak to, Helped every step of the way and was always on the other side to answer any questions or concerns. Recommend 100%

Anne was really easy to deal with from start to finish and kept checking in on progress and with any updates, would highly recommend.


Highly Recommended Anne was a real help from start to finish. She was constantly in contact with me and following up any interviews I may have had, and getting the information back to me as soon as possible. For every stage of interviewing, I was given information on what to expect, and even links to websites that would help with any sort of assessments or scenarios. The whole experience was seamless and stress free. Would highly recommend


Excellent Recruitment company. Anne Leyland was exceptional. She listened to my job requirements and matched a role that was perfect. She explained the job thoroughly and answered all my queries as quickly and clearly as possible. At interview stage she spent time briefing me on what the interview may possibly involve, so I felt ready and prepared for it. Her guidance was outstanding and I honestly can say she’s been one of the best Recruitment Consultants I have ever had dealings with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone actively searching for work. The whole process was painless. Thank you so much for exceeding my expectations.

Brilliant company, thank you!

Friendly and professional Friendly and professional, a no pressure recruitment. Best of all, Anne had read my profile and offered me an ideal position.


Excellent service Anne was great from start to finish. Really informative and really knowledgeable about the role and the company. I felt like she was really invested in me rather than being just another role to fill. Lynn


Updated throughout the process Constant contact with me throughout the whole process from applying for a position and was still in touch after the position was offered to make sure I was happy with everything from my new employer. First class and such a pleasure to deal New Ventures for my new venture thanks Anne 😊


One of the best in the business As an experienced IT consultant, I’ve worked with many different recruiters over the past 30 years. I can safely say that New Ventures are one of the best I’ve used. Anne is incredibly diligent and always has your best interests in mind. An absolute diamond. Highly recommended. Steve


I cannot thank Anne and New Ventures… I cannot thank Anne and New Ventures Recruitment enough. I was stuck in a rut in a remote job and she has just secured me a new job with a Global Market Leader that is office-based! I am forever grateful and urge others to contact Anne and get on her books to secure a brighter future. Endless Gratitude Andrew

The ONLY recruiter for HR roles Last year, I was promoted into a Management role, and something I always struggle with is Recruitment. Anne just gets us! The quality of people I have been sent is of a high standard (not your usual "bums on seats for a commission" I have experienced in the past!,) and the feedback I have from new starts has been outstanding. I will not have anyone else fill my HR roles :) Becki
