Our testimonials
“I have partnered with Tempest Jones during my time at Clarion Housing Group and previously at Lendlease to support a number of key appointments within our Development and Project teams, across our Southern and Northern regions. Both on a search and contingency basis they take the time to truly understand the culture of the organisation and the specific qualities we look for in candidates. This, combined with their extensive network, sets them apart from other recruiters. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tempest Jones to any organisation seeking a knowledgeable and reliable recruitment partner.”

“Jenny I found to be very honest and really appreciated my situation, Jenny listened to my concerns to ensure my new job was a perfect match. I would highly recommend, she wasn’t trying to make the job fit for her own goals, only focused on whether was it right for me.”

“I would happily recommend Jenny as a really skilled recruiter. Jenny’s attention to detail and reassurance made my experience from a disastrous position to a brilliant one smoother than I could have expected. Professional but also incredibly reassuring and supportive. I felt she represented her client very well too. In the best way I hope I don’t need her again but wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.”
