Our greatest chance of finding you the right role is to get to know you personally. The best way to do this is to meet you as everybody is unique and what you are looking for is personal to you. We believe that by taking this time we will understand your skills and requirements from the off which really does help us ensure we are recommending the right options for you.
The registration process includes completing some standard forms, a couple of tests and an interview. The forms and tests don’t take very long, the main part of the process is the interview, this is where we establish the key information about you and what you are looking for in a role and your career.
We recruit for most positions based in an office such as: HR, Marketing, Accounts, Operations, Facilities, Reception, Sales, Customer Services, and so on. If in doubt please do call us and we can discuss whether we are the right consultancy for you.
Interviews can be a daunting and scary process for even the most confident of person. Something Peach has done since day one is to provide an interview brief and debrief. Our consultants have built long standing and strong relationships with many of our clients and in fact some of our clients class us as an extension of their HR Team. In order to make sure you feel at your most confident when going on interview, your Peach Consultant will go through the job with you thoroughly to ensure you understand what is required, they run through company information and interview format, including tips & techniques in order for you to get the best out of the interview.
Debrief
In order to manage the interview process thoroughly and successfully, we make sure you call us immediately after your interview to tell us your thoughts and level of interest. The information you give us at this stage could be crucial in the decision making process.
No problem at all – although many applicants only register with us, we are more than happy for you to keep your options open. All we ask is that you keep us in the picture about other job applications – that way we avoid any chances of doubling up which can be embarrassing and look unprofessional.
We will manage the process from there. Gaining feedback, learning from our clients your positives and then hopefully, all being well, arranging the next step in the process for you.
We attract our candidates through recommendations from both clients and candidates. We do at times have to advertise for a specific type of skill and it is at this point we use a national database and various job boards to attract a specific candidate for your particular need. In this instance we still will meet and interview the candidate on your behalf before you meet them.
We take pride in our company and in our roles as consultants. As we are an independent recruiter, our reputation is absolutely key and we have to work that little bit harder to impress. This means, we treat our clients and candidates alike, without one we wouldn’t have the other. We work as an extension of your HR team, we short list the applicants, listen to your needs and only send you the applicant(s) that fit your criteria. We do not want to waste your time with applicants sent on a ‘hope they stick’ attitude, and will only send you applicants we truly believe fit your role, team, company, ethics and long term goals of the business. With a team of consultants that have all worked for Peach for many years, we can also guarantee your account manager will work with you from day one and will manage your account with consistency and commitment throughout.
A big thank you to Hannah and Amanda at peach. Through them, I managed to get my first graduate job after months of being unsuccessful with other agencies. They were very committed in helping me and supported me through the entire experience. I Would definitely recommend Peach to anyone looking for work!

“I worked with Peach for the first time on a short term contract and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had of working with an agency. Hannah was quick to set up an interview for me and after I got the job, she and Amanda helped me apply for a DBS certificate. Hannah also continued to support and check in with me regularly throughout the duration of the contract. I highly recommend Peach!”

“I just wanted send a note to thank Amanda and Richard from the bottom of my heart for helping me find my next new role.
When I started my job hunt, I was feeling anxious and nervous about my job role needs. I wondered if anyone would be able to understand and articulate these to a potential employer. You completely understood and listened to what type of job role fitted around my life. With the very first interview you put my way, not only did I get the job, all my needs and wants were met with my new employer. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me and I will be making sure all my friends and family looking for work come your way.
Thank you for listening and caring.”

Suddenly we required a temp and our normal agency couldn’t help, after a quick google search I found Peach and Amanda, from that day she has been exceptional at assisting us cover our Reception in Windsor. As soon as I spoke with Amanda on the phone that first day she was so helpful, friendly and accommodating to our business needs. Since then Peach have assisted us in finding two superb receptionist who we are very excited to have in our team.
Nothing is too much for Amanda, Hannah and Richard, they are a great team and fantastic to work with!

“I worked with Peach over 15 years ago and had a wonderful experience as a Temp until they found me a permanent position in HR. Last year when I was looking for work again I was back knocking on Peach’s door and Hannah has been my guardian angel. She navigated me through various placements all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. When I was ready to settle into a permanent position, Hannah helped me realise that goal. I just can’t thank you enough Hannah, for all your help and support.”

My whole experience with Peach has been nothing short of excellent. I have been very lucky to have Jo’s help a second time and I can’t thank her enough for helping me secure my current role.
It was my first time temping before I was made permanent and I was a little worried in the beginning, but Jo was extremely supportive and always made sure I understood each step of the recruitment process and the job specifications. I highly recommend Peach for their professionalism, as well as their very friendly approach to recruitment.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Peach for over 20 years. As a candidate they placed me in my first HR job straight out of university, and numerous jobs since then. They have been with me for my whole career encouraging and supporting me. Due to their efficiency and professionalism I became their client, and Peach filled many of my temporary and permanent vacancies, aligning competent candidates for the specific skills required in the roles. Amanda and her team are wonderful and I never hesitate to picking up the phone to them.” – Sim G, Bedfont

“I’ve been using Peach now for nearly 20 years as an employer and an employee and they’ve always been great, therefore when I was made redundant in October 2016 I didn’t bother going anywhere else. Two weeks and 1 interview later, I started as an administrator at a construction company, and now I’m a permanent member of the team. What I didn’t realise was that I’d be on site from time to time wearing the full kit, not the most glamourous outfit I’ve ever put on, but on the plus side, it’s a great job which I’m loving!” – Jo P, Heathrow
