Testimonials
Listen to what some of our clients have to say about us.
I’ve known Jonathan for a couple of years now and can honestly say he is 1 of 2 recruiters that I enjoy working with and will trust with my career.
Jonathan recently placed me at a company, which was a lengthy recruitment process throughout a global pandemic, and to say I was impressed is an understatement.
Not only do I recommend Jonathan as a consummate professional on LI, I will actively advise my industry peers to work with him.

The support and communication have been amazing! She has listened to me and understood exactly what my goals are and what success I’m wanting to achieve in my next career move. There has been plenty of opportunities, but using her wealth of experience Yasmine has been a significant factor in sourcing the perfect position for me! I would personally like to thank you.

I’ve worked with Jonathan for the last three years and have never received anything other than incredible service.
Quick to identify our needs, he was always able to drill into the true nature of our requirements - even when the information that he was given was sketchy at best! He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come.

Group Head of Print
Evo Group
Having consulted with Taylor Higson for many years I have found them to be one of the most conscientious and diligent in their field. Their research into my market, my business and my company's specific capabilities and expertise meant that candidate selection was always accurate and relevant. By taking the time to visit me they built a strong understanding of the skills, characteristics and personality that a candidate would need to succeed in my business which is surprisingly rare in recruitment. Taylor Higson would be a strong asset to any business wanting to recruit quality candidates.
Group Sales Director
Packaging Company
Taylor Higson are without doubt one of the best headhunters I have worked with. They understood exactly what we were looking for as a business and were very selective with the candidates they put forward to me. Unlike many recruitment agencies who throw any
number of potentials forward, Taylor Higson listened carefully to what we were looking for as a business and only contacted me with people who fitted the criteria completely. A breath of fresh air. As such I would have no doubts in recommending them to anyone looking to recruit.
Director
Large Format/Wide Format & Exhibition Display
I have used Taylor Higson’s experience on a number of occasions and every time they manage to deal with my requirements, even though they are sometimes extremely challenging. On every occasion, the people at Taylor Higson have always taken full control of the task in hand and are yet to fall short on their hard to achieve promises. Having these qualities has always given me reassurance that Taylor Higson will find the right candidate,
whatever it takes... I would have no problem in recommendind them as a highly capable and skilled recruitment company and will certainly be my first point of call in the future when I require well trained, experienced staff.
Managing Director
Signage business
Taylor Higson consultants act with great energy and are extremely proactive in meeting a client’s needs. I registered several vacancies with the business and compared to other agencies they were able to put forward multiple candidates with a high degree of fit to the brief. Try them.
CEO
Direct & Transactional Mail Business
Taylor Higson are true experts in their field. They understand the sector they recruit for; understand recruitment; understand their clients. The latter is the most important for me. Taylor Higson made my life a lot better in terms of recruitment, liaising directly with my managers at my request but keeping me informed every step of the way. They went out of their way to visit our offices in Surrey a couple of times whilst being based out of Manchester themselves. They met the team they recruit for and learned as much as they can about me, the Company and the team.
HR Director
Large format and Graphics company
Taylor Higson is a highly professional recruitment business who always work with honesty and integrity. The team is extremely knowledgeable within their chosen industry and have a very good reputation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Taylor Higson or in using their services again in the future.
Business Development Director
Direct & Transactional Mail business
Taylor Higson asked the right questions and importantly listened and worked with the answers. They showed a real interest, provided excellent choices and took the time to discuss the options, with good observations.
