Usman Qayyum, Automation Project Manager
Having used Zebra and worked with Gerard for over 13 years, our Company has come to use him as our first point of contact when recruiting new staff for engineering and other technical roles. The process is made easier by Gerard, as he gets to understand the job specification and our requirements and filters effectively for candidates, meaning we spend less time looking through lots of CV’s and ultimately allowing more time to interview a more suited selection of candidates. I find Gerard professional and understanding of our needs and have enjoyed working with him over the period I have known him. I, therefore, would highly recommend Zebra and the service given by Gerard.
Richard Potts, Engineering Manager, E2S Warning Signals
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Gerard Latham. He prepared me exceptionally well for interviews, was very patient with me & kept in constant contact. Having dealt with numerous agencies in the past and not having had great experiences, Gerard restored my faith in agencies, making me feel like an individual rather than just another number looking for a job. He is an expert. I’m sure that his efficiency will help other candidates find a good job and have this vital support that I had.
Elena Susickiene, CAD Revit Technician
Gerard Latham of Zebra Technical Recruitment has successfully supplied staff to our Company for many years. We have always found Gerard to be extremely professional in his business approach. He has always taken the time to research and understand the needs of our business and then focus on the specific recruitment task at hand. I can state quite honestly and without reservation that Gerard stands apart from other agencies and recruitment approaches. He has been instrumental in successfully recruiting a large proportion of our engineering team in recent years, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to other engineering organisations. If you need any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.
