What Our Clients Say

We have used Ortolan’s services for nearly seven years.  In that time they have filled literally hundreds of vacancies for us.  Whatever our recruitment needs, they have stepped up to the mark in a consistently professional manner and our long term partnership with Ortolan reflects the value we believe they add to our business..

Elaine Montgomery, HR Director Smart Parking Ltd

Ortolan have consistently provided us with a cost effective and extremely professional service.  Their experienced team has helped us fill positions from the front line to senior executives and they have always been utterly reliable and a pleasure to do business with..

Graham Morphew, Managing Director Apcoa Services Group

I have worked with Ortolan for over 6 years now and throughout that time they have been unfailingly professional, responsive and a real partner to our business. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Sharon Eley, Shared Services Director National Car Parks Ltd

Delighted to say that yet again we have had success using yourselves to fill the positions we had within our claims team, all three coming from the adverts we ran through so thank you so much.

Ian Dye, Recruitment Manager (Europe) Travelers

Thanks for your help with this - I have been really impressed with both the value and quality of your service. The quality of the applicants we have had via your work has been far, far higher than our original efforts! Feel free to quote me on this!

Gary Downes, Managing Director Solutions in IT

I was extremely impressed with the response rate and would certainly recommend you for use in the future.

Jeremy Tuffin Operations Manager Envoplan

Just wanted to let you know we successfully appointed someone in our marketing assistant role from a cv you had sent over. Will definitely be using you again and recommending you next time we require a position filled!

Natasja Rasmussen, Marketing Communications Manager Olivers Travels

We were already using a recruiter when we contacted Ortolan, and the successful candidate you sent through was also sent by the agency. So next time we will miss them out and try purely Ortolan Connect.

Having worked with Ortolan since 2011 I would unreservedly recommend them. Their responsive and professional team – who really understand what I need because they have all come from businesses where they have been hiring managers themselves - have helped me with a large number of recruitment assignments. Not only do they write brilliant advertisements, they then deliver exceptional candidates. I have used them to recruit for high profile positions in the UK as well as in Spain, Switzerland and Germany and they have saved us hundreds of thousands of pounds in fees compared with conventional recruitment agencies.

Sarah Ellis, Talent Acquisition Manager, Wonga

Hope started operating in 2013 and we had a lot of positions that we needed to fill. We initially relied on recruitment agencies and did a little bit of our own direct advertising, but wanted to explore more cost effective recruitment methods. We decided to try some “e-recruiters” to see how they could help. Ortolan were by far the best and also the most cost effective of the suppliers that we tried and we now ask for their help with virtually all of our external recruitment needs, because they provide a very personal and tailored service, have people, rather than computers, working on their candidate searches and short lists. Using Ortolan has significantly reduced our expenditure on attracting candidates, but has also meant that we have had a much broader range of people applying to work for us than before. I’d highly recommend trying Ortolan to see how they can help you.

Peter Spargo, HR Manager, Hope Construction Materials Ltd

Wandle engaged Ortolan People to design and deliver an assessment centre to support an organisational restructuring we were undertaking in early 2016. From the outset we were impressed by the intelligent and responsive approach Ortolan took to this assignment. They designed a bespoke set of exercises to address our specific requirements and put together all of the elements we needed to enable them to deliver the assessment centre exactly as Wandle required. Their team were professional, always helpful and extremely responsive and they integrated seamlessly with me and my colleagues. It was exactly what we had hoped for and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ortolan to anyone who needs this type of service. They know what they are doing and deliver at a price point which feels like real value for money.

Debbie Chun, Senior Operations Manager, Wandle

Thanks for all your help with this, this is the first time I’ve used Ortolan and I’ve been really impressed, you’ve saved me so much time!
