Working with Sam on our candidate assignment was professional, thorough and, unusually for recruitment, a fun process. This was a newly created and defined role and Sam helped us along every step of the way, including the difficult task of dealing with internal candidates applying. We would definitely use Forum if required again and he and the Forum team were a pleasure to deal with.

Sam possesses extensive knowledge and insight into the FM industry from both the client's and candidate's perspectives, enabling him to effectively connect the two. As a candidate, I appreciated how he took the time to understand my experience and career aspirations before presenting me to potential clients. At the same time, he ensured I had the freedom to assess whether the client and role aligned with my ambitions, rather than solely prioritizing client requirements

Thank you for reaching out regarding my experience with Charlotte Preece from Forum Recruitment. I am happy to provide feedback on my recent engagement with her. Charlotte has been an invaluable resource in helping us with our staffing needs.

My experience with Sam has been very positive. He approached me 3 months ago with an opportunity that I turned down, as I was extremely happy in my field. He noted this, as I received a call from him with an opportunity in my field that was to good to not be be open to. Sam has listened to my needs and has given me an opportunity that I would not have taken as he has matched me with a position that meets all my expectations.
