It’s always a pleasure to be placed by Harvey Jacob.

I have worked for Simon for 3 years, and in that time, he’s regularly visited me on the various sites to see that I was okay and to get a feel for the project. Simon is always on call for any problems he can help with, and I look forward to working with Harvey Jacob for years to come.

I was made redundant Christmas 2008 at the height of the economic crisis. I contacted many agents, but due to the volume of candidates that were made redundant, agencies were overloaded and weren’t too interested or helpful in finding me a new role. Numerous phone calls and emails were left unanswered. However, I found that Simon Cross regularly updated me with prospective job opportunities and quickly returned my phone calls. Simon was also very particular in matching my skill set with the client’s requirements – this ensured that no time was wasted putting me across to a prospective employer who was looking for something else! (Happens very often). I was quite lucky that shortly after speaking to Simon, he found me a job.

I have known Simon Cross for over twenty years as a recruiter and have always found him to be committed to his clients and to his employees. He always seeks high-calibre employees to provide an excellent service for his clients. He is approachable, always available for his employees, and works hard to find them employment even in difficult times. I rate his professionalism and his friendship very highly, and he is always my first choice for finding me suitable employment.

This serves to confirm that I have known Simon Cross – Director of Harvey Jacob since 2009. Simon Cross has placed me in various roles over the years, both on a freelance and permanent basis. From the first time I spoke to Simon he delved deep into my experience, competence, strengths, and he made sure he placed me in a role that suited my experience and skillset. In 2014 he placed on a permanent role which allowed me to grow, and I was soon promoted to Senior Site Manager and onto Contracts Manager, I stayed in that position for 8 years. When I contemplated moving on, I knew that Harvey Jacob would be able to assist. Over the years Simon and the team at Harvey Jacob have also recruited people for the businesses I have worked at, to include Site Managers, Engineers and Quantity Surveyors. Harvey Jacob are very experienced and skilled at asking the right questions which allows them to either understand what you can do and have done in your career or when recruiting for a client, asking detailed questions to understand the client, their needs, to help them source suitable candidates to fit the businesses requirements. I can highly recommend Harvey Jacob as a specialist Construction recruiter
