Robina has been with us for some time now and is a treasured member of the team.  She can be relied on to work proactively within her role and provides support to our Department.

Recently Robina has been offering support to additional teams and has played her part in reducing a backlog of correspondence that had built up over the Christmas period. I have also recently had Robina helping me with a scanning project which will eventually allow us to operate a paperless system. Robina is a diligent and hard working team member, she works well on her own and in a systematic way which is essential for this project.

As well as these skills she is a much loved member of the team, never forgets a birthday, always can be relied upon for chocolate at Easter and just a genuinely nice person.

Jason really was one of the best temps we’ve ever had, we even gave him a goody bag and a goodbye card, which is saying something!

Catherine Johnstone is a bespoke recruitment agency that add a personal touch to their business - recommending particular candidates based on brand 'fit' as well as experience has lead to many candidates being placed within the company. 

Excellent communication coupled with a positive approach to recruiting the right person means that I would personally recommend for other businesses or candidates to get in contact with Catherine Jonhstone

Jean was an outstanding temp and always did more work than expected. She was professional, extremely capable and was a huge asset to our team. We would certainly recommend her for any future temp bookings

Hana was second to none. She was polite and friendly, meticulous in her work and pulled out all the stops to assist in the running of the business centre. She was well liked by all.

Sacha was also very polite, friendly, helpful and again very popular with everybody. So much, she was offered employment by one of our occupiers!

Shahida is an excellent manager and whilst working for my team ran the conference & hires and film office.

She worked unsupervised and kept me regularly updated with progress and issues. If we were still operating I’d have no qualms in having Shahida back in the role that she has excelled in

Alistair is an amazing temp. He has been here nearly a year and is one of the top performers in the team. He is hard working, team focused and very flexible (and is always willing to stay late with short notice). On top of all this, he is enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with

Over the past two years that Tiffany has been here, she has consistently proven herself to be a hard working, industrious member of the team. She has led in the delivery of several high profile procurement exercises over this time period

I would like to say that I have two fantastic temps working for me, Laura and Leslie. They are both committed, hard working and professional.

They are both always on time and are always willing to help wherever needed

I recently engaged Jeremy to work on a ‘difficult to fill’ HR vacancy and was immediately impressed with his client focus and attention to detail. He has an unrivalled knowledge of the local market and took the time to understand our culture and processes.
Above all, Jeremy delivers on his commitments and is a pleasure to work with. I recommend his services and will definitely call on him again.

Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity

Catherine Johnstone Recruitment is, by a country mile, the very finest recruitment agency I have ever had the privilege to work with.

I laid-down an exceedingly tough challenge for Cathie and her team (led by the highly capable Tom Hughes).

I required 10 highly enthusiastic, outgoing, professional and creative thinking individuals who would grasp ByBox to the point they could articulate the service under pressure. In addition to this, I needed them to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for 6:00am ready for a gruelling day of intense guerrilla marketing.

They delivered EXACTLY what I was after! Unforgettable people who went out of their way to tell every stranger about ByBox.

Catherine Johnstone Recruitment are seriously dedicated, professional, organised, enthusiastic, attentive recruiters.

I would recommend Cathie and her team to anyone who has specific, complicated, demanding and challenging needs. They certainly know how to deliver!

Ben worked with very little supervision as he was based within an office within our local hospital. All the work he completed was of a high standard, ensuring that very tight deadlines were met.  He dealt with the emotional aspect of the work with a mature and professional attitude, way above his years.   

If there is a future opportunity to employ Ben I would not hesitate to offer him a post within our service

 Team Manager/ Public Sector

I just wanted you to know how pleased everyone is with Ben’s performance. He seems to have displayed the following abilities:

* Hit the ground running in what is really a very complex set of systems * Organises himself and his work well * Gets on well with everyone, including those he has to progress chase * Knows how to challenge without offending and knows when to ask for help.

He is a definite asset and we are very pleased with him

It may be too early to speak.... but I wanted to commend Josh and the two Fionas for coming in to work in these very difficult weather conditions. They could not have been more committed if they were substantive staff. Fiona 1 has been a tower of strength these last two weeks whilst our regular director's PA has been away and this week we have been down to just the 2 of us in our team at times. Fiona 2 too has been the only one in her office manning the fort. Josh I think has been feeling poorly but has come back to work today. They are real troopers!

Unlike many other Recruitment Agencies, Catherine Johnstone Recruitment provides a personal, friendly and professional service from start to finish. We wouldn’t dream of dealing with any one else!!

We set CJR a testing brief and not only did they attack it enthusiastically but kept us fully informed through-out their search. The panel interview process they co-ordinated was faultless and the quality of the final applicants was exceptionally high making the final choice quite a challenge. Negotiating with the successful applicant was handled quickly resulting in a successful placement. Overall it would be difficult to fault the professional service offered by Jeremy and his team from beginning to end of the process, it was clear that they cared

Please find attached Aysha's timesheet. As I said on the phone earlier to Sue, she is fantastic - very friendly lovely girl and picks up what we are showing her very quickly, and just gets on with the job - even the boring filing. Thanks very much for your help

Just to let you know I was up having some training at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations at King’s Cross the other day and talk got on to temp agencies – the Good the Bad and the Ugly. You will be pleased to know that when I was saying that I only knew of one honest temp agency in Croydon a complete stranger on my table said, ‘you mean Catherine Johnstone?’ and agreed with me that you were the only guys who were bigger on delivering than selling

I just wanted to say that Fiona has proved to be an exceptionally good appointment. She came in and got on with things with a minimum of fuss, using her initiative appropriately but always checking back if need be. She kept me informed about what was happening, made sure that what needed to be organised was, and established excellent working relationships within the department and elsewhere. Considering that she was also new to the industry, she has done remarkably well

Kate (Client) February 2010

We would all like to say thank you for supplying Carina on Monday. She was wonderful, friendly and so helpful - able to turn her hand  to anything we threw at her. I certainly appreciated being able to catch up with my work that had been piling up

I just wanted to pass on my feedback on Shahida. She’s been an absolute star in helping me turn around my temp situation so quickly. Being only just into my third day in my new post at that point, I was really grateful for all the help she offered. She went the extra mile and more
