Testimonials

We are currently collating feedback from our users to hear of their successes. Here are some of the latest:

Just wanted to say a belated thank you for your excellent support of the recent recruitment process we have been going through here at the Friendship Centre. I was impressed not only with the quick turnaround of getting our adverts placed but also the level of responses we received as a result of your publicising them for us. I am also very impressed with the statistics you were able to provide and this will enable us to further improve upon our processes in future.

We have successfully recruited a Centre Manager who, subject to satisfactory references, will be starting here later in the Summer and a couple of the applicants we interviewed had seen the vacancy on line.

Furthermore, I am due to interview applicants for the caretaker post and admin officer post next week and three of the interviewees specifically stated that they found out about the vacancy from Spangle Jelly...which again is brilliant!

Thanks once again for your help, I will ensure that we always contact Spangle Jelly in the future when we are recruiting and I will certainly recommend you to colleagues.

With all good wishes,

Den Barry

Centre Manager

"We used Spangle Jelly to successfully recruit a Business Administrator who

had all the professional skills we needed and an understanding of the voluntary sector that you're unlikely to find through advertising in local media - we'd definitely use the service again."

Dave Newton
Chief Executive - West Itchen Community Trust

Both myself and our recently recruited day service manager saw the job ad on your site and not the newspaper, where we’d also advertised. The team have decided to use only your site for our current vacancy.

General Manager
Portsmouth Mind

We advertised several posts through the usual sources at a cost of over seven hundred pounds. We had just two responses. Due to this low response rate we extended the deadlines and re-advertised these posts but this time using Spangle Jelly. To date we have received ninety nine applications for the same posts from all around the country. I would highly recommend Spangle Jelly as a way of receiving a high calibre response to your job adverts.

Kim Brown – Chief Executive – The Hampton Trust

I write to confirm that our Community Improvement Partnership has benefitted from the new 'Spangle Jelly Service' in particular for the recruitment of a Project Worker for the Children's Centre we are setting up in the Eastney area of the city.

We had a good range of applicants and a strong field. I'd highly recommend the use of this service to other organisations regardless of whether they are from the voluntary or statutory sectors.

Kind regards

We are a registered charity who recently advertised for a MIS and Courses

Administrator. Typically our process would be to pay in excess of £800 in the local press to advertise such a post. We received a number of strong applications.

The successful candidate appointed to this post had seen the job advertised with Spangle Jelly and applied directly to us via the site. Thanks to Spangle Jelly we have appointed a well qualified and excellent team member, saved ourselves time and money and would absolutely recommend using Spangle Jelly to anyone looking for staff. We will be using them again.
