As a recruiter for senior Marketing and Sales talent for a leading FMCG company, it is imperative that we have great relationships with our specialist Preferred Recruitment Suppliers. As one of those suppliers, 'The People Group' have proven to be able to consistently deliver great quality, specialist talent to Diageo Ireland. This is possible because of their deep understanding of the culture of our business, not to mention their knowledge of the specialist, and sometimes unique, skill sets required by our Marketing and Sales functions. The People Group pride themselves on having an up-to-date database of the best professionals on the marketplace, and this can be measured by the speed in which they can provide candidates to us. Diageo looks forward to continuing to work with 'The People Group' as their track record of picking winners speaks for itself!

Thank you so much for the huge part you played in getting me a wonderful job. But moreover, thank you for all your help, advice and support over the past fewmonths. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it - Kindest regards,

Thank you very much for the assistance in searching for a Country Manager for Cupa Natural Materials Ireland. From the beginning, your approach was very accurate, listening patiently to our requirements and our strategy in this territory. Afterwards, the 3 candidates that you proposed to us were all of an exceptionally high standard. Actually, we are sure we chose the best, but any of them would have fitted perfectly for the role. As you know, for this same process another very well known British recruitment agency approached me offering their services. Their result was poor and disappointing, a waste of time for both me and the candidates they sent me to interview. Let me tell you than from my point of view, you stand out from the other head hunters by providing a more specific and detailed approach to the search. Basically, you listen (something strange to find these days) and act upon your customers' needs. Who could ask for more.

"In recent years, I have worked closely with the People Group - to find suitable candidates for various roles within the Brown Thomas Marketing Department. The immediate understanding of the brief, speed of responsiveness and most importantly the quality of the candidate has always been excellent. I have never been disappointed".

The People Group is one of the longest established Recruitment agencies in Ireland and it is evident from their service. Of all the recruitment agencies we have dealt with, we have found them to be the most professional in terms of the quality of service they sit down and spend time discussing each role with you before doing their search; all candidates are very well vetted, well briefed and suited to the roles. I don't think there is a candidate in the FMCG market that they don't know. The People Group have placed many candidates with us over the past number of years and we will continue to use them again in the future based on the excellent service they provide.

After 4 years of living away from Ireland, the prospects of returning and having to search for a new position were daunting to say the least. This whole process was made much easier by The People Group. After I had given The People Group my details from overseas, Tom and Mark Burgess kept in regular contact to check dates and times for my return and to set up meetings and interviews. Upon my return their focus quickly turned to getting me into the right position for my career. What makes The People Group better and unique is that they do not just tick the boxes. They actually take a vested interest in YOU the person who is trying to find employment. They meet with you face-to-face and get full and detailed descriptions of your position, role, responsibilities, tasks, achievements and more. The People Group will not send you to interviews that you are not qualified for or positions in which you are not interested. What’s more The People Group will discuss potential interview questions with you prior to the interview and they are usually pretty accurate. Tom and Mark Burgess of The People Group were absolutely fantastic to me. I am now in a position with a major multinational in a position that is tailor-made for me and my skills. I would never have had a chance at this major multinational through any other recruitment agency. That in itself shows how highly regarded The People Group must be. It is for these reasons that I would not hesitate to contact The People Group for any future career switches.

"When I first started looking for a senior marketing role, I met with 3 different recruitment companies. By far the most professional and caring were The People Group. They really understood the type of role I was looking for and most importantly wanted the best ‘company fit’ for me. From the very first conversation we had, I felt they really did have my best interests to heart. The role they found for me, Marketing Manager Tayto has proved vital to my whole career path. Having come from a multi-national, they knew embarking on the marketing of such an iconic Irish brand like Tayto, could prove unbelievably satisfying and challenging. Having placed me, they always kept in touch, checking everything was as it was promised and above all else that I was happy. The People Group care about their relationships with their clients too – It doesn’t do them any good to put a person in to a company and they end up unhappy. The People Group, are exactly what they say on the tin – their business is people and they care about them"
