Dan uses his considerable market expertise and well researched client knowledge to identify, screen and recommend highly suitable candidates for the roles he has been provided, in a highly professional and non-pressurised manner.

Client Success Stories

Refreshing is one of a ‘special breed’ of recruitment consultants in that they listen to their clients and provides pre-screened candidates that match the requirement. I first had the pleasure of meeting Dan back in ’97 when he was at Best People and he quickly became my preferred supplier for contract resource. We both ‘moved on’ in 2002 and I had no hesitation in recommending him to my HR Department when I ‘found him’ again.

Client Success Stories

Dan is a business focussed, results orientated recruitment professional and delivers well to brief. He’s also a good bloke and great to do business with. Give him a go!

Dominic Collins
General Manager

Client Success Stories

I use Refreshing to source staff for my team and have done for a number of years. I like to use Dan because his work is always of the highest quality – he takes time to source the right candidates and understands the culture of the business, as well as it’s technical requirements. Hence we always get a good candidate who fits in well with the team and can deliver great results. If I had to use three words to describe Dan’s work they would be integrity, quality and humanity. Will I use his services again? Without reservation!

Client Success Stories

“We have used Refreshing to recruit IT staff for a few years now and he consistently comes up the right people. I can recommend the approach too – no flooding you with prospective candidates and a good understanding of the exact requirements.”
Top qualities : Great Results, On Time, High Integrity

Lauraine Turner
IT Director

Client Success Stories

“I engaged Refreshing on a number of recruitment drives where it has been increasingly difficult to find very high calibre testing consultants. Refreshing has a down to earth, straight talking and flexible attitude to recruitment that has made it the first company I call. Flexibility in approach, honesty and candidate profiling abilities are well above the average recruitment consultancy and typically yield a higher grade of candidate placed for interview. Should I also be looking for work in the future, I would have no hesitation in trusting Refreshing to get me in front of the right people as they move in the right circles and have the right expertise to enable this to happen.”

“Mourant has been working with Refreshing Recruitment for four years now and the quality of service provided has always been exemplary. From the outset, Refreshing worked hard to understand the recruitment needs of our business before beginning to source the right match and calibre of candidates.

This coupled with efficient and timely turnaround of feedback from candidates places Refreshing amongst our preferred suppliers for IT recruitment.”
