Are you looking to Recruit an HR Professional?

• Grafton Haymes are without a doubt one of the best recruitment consultancy firms I have had the pleasure of working with to date. They recommended me for a Payroll Assistant role and were positively proactive throughout the recruitment process. I found this to be extremely useful in helping me to ultimately secure the position. I would recommend Grafton Haymes to everyone.

• Grafton Haymes are truly professional and experts in their field. They are extremely prompt and courteous in making regular updates and giving feedback. They pay attention to both the small details and the bigger picture.

  Emma Baker
  UK HR Manager

• I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your support. There are many out there who call themselves consultants/associates – but they wouldn’t make you a decent shadow! And I intend to be very vocal about Christine McCorry whenever the situation arises.

  Jackie Hammond
  HRD Partner, Learning & Development
  Rail Safety & Security Board

• Unlike a lot of mainstream agencies, Grafton Haymes demonstrated a high degree of integrity. They weren’t just interested in placing someone, but genuinely interested in ensuring, that the ‘fit’ was a perfect one. Grafton Haymes fully understood her brief and set expectations at the beginning of all our conversations.

• Paul Grafton helped us to find not one, but three, first-class Trainers who are currently delivering a Management Development Programme they wrote themselves. The reason I manage this team of top Trainers is because Paul recruited me into my position too!

  Claire O'Brien
  HR Manager

• “Thank you so much for everything, I’ve really enjoyed working with you. Such a refreshing change from the huge recruitment factories that don’t treat anyone as an individual! If any of my HR friends mention that they are on the lookout for their next role, I will certainly refer them to you.”

  Elizabeth Clayton
  HR Generalist

• Subsequently as a client (in the job that Paul had found for me), I was refreshed by his personal (and personable) approach to meeting my recruitment needs.

  Paul Stone
  HR Director

• They treat their candidates with respect, stay in regular contact and cares about making sure that they find the right opportunity. Their support during my job search was genuinely “consultative” and we have stayed in contact through a number of job changes.

  Barbara Babcock

• Paul was invaluable to me in securing my new role. He was pro-active, professional and knew the market I wanted to enter whilst being friendly and approachable – a perfect person to guide me through my move in-house.

  Alex Bird
  Employment Law Consultant

• The whole experience was really positive as Grafton Haymes were so good at keeping in touch and keeping me up to date as and when she heard anything. I also really appreciated how flexible they were, in coming all the way out to see me where I used to work, to explain the role in person, and also ringing me in the evening (in the initial stages) so I didn’t have to worry about hiding in a meeting room to take the call away from my colleagues during working hours! I was so apprehensive about making the right move, but Grafton Haymes  really helped by explaining any concerns I had to the client which we were able to sort out. I really love the role I do now and the commute is so much easier, so thank you for helping me to make the right move.
