Even at a time where the market was very competitive to secure a new role and it was a tough time for the industry, you worked tirelessly to provide me 3 great companies to meet with.

Alex Still
Managing Quantity Surveyor

Joel has supported Wates London Construction businesses commercial recruitment needs since 2017 and the candidates sourced by Joel have always been of a consistently high standard.

I believe this is as a result of Joel’s understanding of Wates’ values and culture and the quality of candidates expected by Wates. Once a brief is given to Joel, in my dealings with him he has always met the brief tailored to Wates’ needs and requirements, rather than experiences of other consultants who have simply provided unsuitable candidates available at the time on their company’s books.

He is a consultant who I have grown to trust, and I would recommend that we take the opportunity of making Henry Martin Recruitment Wates’ recruitment partner. Joel’s knowledge of the commercial /surveying sector and the diligence that he has displayed in his selection of candidates, is second to none. He has always demonstrated through sourcing the right candidates for the available positions that he is more than able to meet Wates’ very exacting standards.
