What people are saying about us
One of the hardest parts of running an accountancy practice is finding quality, qualified and experienced staff with the right fit for my business. Trial Balance managed to find exactly who I was looking for which has really helped my business to grow. They are always a pleasure to deal with, really informative and dealt with the communications between me and the potential employee in a prompt and professional manner. I would be happy to recommend them.
Trial Balance are our go to recruitment consultants. They understand our business, who we are and what we look for in candidates. They provide the friendliest service and I would highly recommend. Thanks as always to the team there.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your great help and support during my job search. The service you provide is fantastic and I would have no doubt in recommending you to anyone who was in a similar position to me. Having had experience with other agencies, you are ahead by miles. Your friendly and supportive approach was so very much appreciated and really did help me through that first and quite scary interview!
I am hoping that this job will be a perfect fit, but would not hesitate to come back to you if for any reason I find myself once again looking for another finance position.
We recently contacted Trial Balance Consulting after being let down by another agency. Within a few hours they had located a strong candidate ready to start straightaway. Excellent service received from Trial Balance Consulting, I would recommend them to anyone.
As a fast growing business It was important for us to find the right calibre of candidate, one that enjoys the inevitable change that growth brings and at the same time an individual who would fit within the culture of our business. Having advertised directly without success, Dan was quick to understand our requirements and was very specific in the CV’s he sent over for the role which arrived in my inbox within a couple of days. As a result, we were able to offer the role to one of Dan’s candidates and bring to an end a two month search for a suitable candidate.
Trial Balance have been a terrific company to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to recruit for their organisation.
Our company has worked with Alex and his team at Trial Balance for a number of years now on various assignments and have always received a highly professional service from them. I have always found Alex to be a friendly, approachable and confident recruiter with a swift and professional manner. Alex's service are well recommended, as he has built up one the most favourably regarded specialist recruitment agencies in Cornwall.
We have been very impressed with the fast and professional service that Trial Balance Consulting have provided us.
This is the first time that we have used their services, they understood our requirements, sent us a small number of suitable candidates CV’s, which enabled us to fill the position within one week.
We were looking to replace a valued employee in a crucial role leaving big shoes to fill and Trial Balance exceeded expectations. Within 24 hours we were provided with a shortlist of candidates and we interviewed and recruited a smashing candidate within 4 days from when we first made contact. The team listened to our brief and provided quality candidates for consideration. Communication from Elle was exemplary; efficient and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We would be pleased to endorse Trial Balance; recruitment fees can be a bitter pill for SMEs to swallow but Trial Balance deserve every penny!
The quality of candidates introduced by Trial Balance has been excellent and we’re so pleased to have recruited two of them to join our growing client services team. Working with Trial Balance has been a painless and positive experience. We enjoy working with professional service providers that respond to our questions and requests efficiently and Trial Balance definitely meet our high expectations. And to make things even better, their fees are very competitive too.
I have had a really positive experience working with Dan at Trial Balance. He took the time to properly understand not just the technical requirements of the role, but the type of person we were looking for and how they would fit within the business and team.
The candidates put forward have been well considered and genuinely relevant to the brief, with a good range of experience and backgrounds. Communication throughout has been open, straightforward, and personable, and I've particularly appreciated Dan's focus on finding the right long-term fit rather than simply filling the vacancy as quickly as possible.
I'd be very happy to recommend Dan and the team at Trial Balance to other businesses looking for a recruitment partner who takes the time to understand what they need.
