The Feedback

“I couldn’t recommend eSift more as a partner for recruitment. Lauren Morley has always worked honestly,
collaboratively, and productively with us as a business and has always understood our needs.”

K.F, HR & DEI Advisor

“We have been using eSift for many years and although I was Initially sceptical about this method of candidate search and qualification, I am completely converted now. One of the reasons is the excellent working relationship that has been built up between us. In my view that has been almost completely down to the professional and conscientious approach of Lauren ably supported by the rest of her eSift colleagues.

There have been many examples of rapid search, quick turnaround recruitment projects which have been delivered on time and on budget. My most recent project had a requirement for 8 field-based trainers and a manager to populate a new dedicated team. From briefing eSift through to final job offers took less than 5 weeks and more importantly for me eSift lived up to their name by sifting out the less qualified candidates and providing me with a genuine quality short list. I have complete faith in Lauren’s ‘Sifting’ ability and know she’ll always go the extra mile to complete a project and support me to have fully populated teams at the start of all our contracts.”
