Client Testimonials

[cs_testimonials testimonial_style="simple" testimonial_border="yes" ][testimonial_item ]I have worked closely with Craig for over 5 years now and have been using him exclusively for the supply of agency workers for our business during this time. Craig has shown that he is hard working and passionate about supplying the correct candidates for our business. He knows exactly what we are looking for and endeavors to supply us with the best guys that he has available at any given time. During the time that I have worked with Craig, he has moved companies to further his career but we have continued to use him as our main supplier of agency workers. Over the years, Craig has supplied us with labour for some of our largest contracts, various levels of additional manpower were required to allow us to complete these projects and during these times we have always been given a professional & comprehensive service at all times.  I’m sure his new business will be a success. FABRICATION MANAGER - Aberdeen

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]I would like to take this chance to thank you with your help on providing the several guys we got over the course of the last four months and give you positive feedback on all the guys who worked with us over this busy period (some we knew from before some we didn’t). We were under a large amount of pressure at the start of this contract to deliver on schedule and under budget. As we approach the end of this contract we have had our clients Project Director visit us personally to express his thanks on the timely delivering of their goods and the excellent execution of the works. The personnel you provided certainly helped us get to this point. FACILITIES MANAGER - Aberdeen

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]We have been using Craig Buckley as ourpreferred recruiter for over 6 years. I can say he is always honest.  He is a likable person.  I wish you every success with Buckley SpecialistRecruitment. We’re surprised it has taken so long for you to set up your ownbusiness. Trust that we will continue to use you for the foreseeablefuture. Good Luck. FABRICATION MANAGER - Norway

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]Craig is a hardworking recruiter able to cope with demanding projects and in challenging environments.  I spent a lot of time coordinating an offshore wind project in Holland with him. Nothing was ever to much trouble, he dealt with conflict very well and motivated the team to get things done. The project got off to a rocky start, we were in new territory carrying out works we hadn't had experience in. After the first few weeks everything came together and the project gained momentum and progress was better than we anticipated.  He was an asset to our operation and I look forward to hopefully partnering with him again in the future. HSEQ/PROJECT MANAGER - Saudi Arabia

[cs_testimonials testimonial_style="simple" testimonial_border="yes" ][testimonial_item ]We have engaged with Buckley SpecialistRecruitment Ltd on several occasions recently. To anyone considering usingthem, give them an opportunity and you’ll never look to alternate recruiteragain, they know what they are talking about and know the market well. SinceI’ve been in the industry a very long time (too long some might say), you getto know all the tradesmen in the area good and bad so when I contacted them andthey reeled off the names of available candidates to me and all of them werepeople I valued as good hands it immediately came apparent they know the industryand I could rely on them to only submit good CV’s.  Have saved me a lot of time on both occasionsand they guys have yet to come to me with a complaint relating to the agencywhich is extremely rare I must say. PIPING SUPERVISOR - Middlesbrough

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]Craig is a great hardworking recruiter with a wealth of experience. Top class communication in sourcing very good candidates and dealing with any issues through contracts. He provides the best contractor services and achieves his goals, enhanced with the best payroll system I have ever used. Craig doesn't provide a temporary contractor service, he provides managers and organisations with a long term skilled workforce. FABRICATION SUPERVISOR - Aberdeen

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]When I was told some months ago, that we were to use a new recruiter who I’d never had any dealings with - I envisaged problems from the outset. However, on first contact their friendly member of staff took all the information required in one quick phone call which was a surprise in itself since I usually get repeated interruptions from recruiters who haven’t listened properly in the first instance or neglected to ask the right questions. Within 4 hours I had 10 CV’s for the 10 vacant positions. I put the CV’s to the hiring managers and they recognized all of them as being good, employable tradesman so it came immediately apparent these guys know the people and know what they are doing. All 10 started the following day and we’ve yet to have an incorrect invoice from them so they must be paying the workers correctly.  Hats off to you. Delivered beyond expectation as you said you would.  Highly recommended recruitment agency. PAYROLL COORDINATOR - Highlands

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]Craig worked alongside our recruitment & HR function during a demanding offshore wind scope. We required over 300 offshore contractors to complete this project. Craig sourced 158 of them for us which included supervision, quality control, welders, platers, mechanical fitters and rope access technicians.  He coordinated a complex training schedule, the logistics were extremely difficult from start to finish.  We had to ensure all contractors were on the right course on the right day over a period of 8 weeks prior to the project starting to get everyone through the training. There were challenges which included chartering flights, handling staff changeovers every 2 weeks, planning rotas, scheduling which teams were to work on what transition pieces.  It was a difficult project for us but without the additional support and hours that craig put in it would have been much, much harder. Thank you for all your hard work on this contract. HR MANAGER - Darlington

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]My first dealings with Craig was back in 2012 when we required support for an offshore wind project in the UK.  Since then we have engaged with him on several occasions sourcing welders for our workshop in Denmark, supplying GWO trades for windfarm projects and assisting in the supply of welders for a demanding construction project in Lowestoft.  He has assisted us with tenders and helped us project and budget potential projects.

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]Our business partnered with Craig I think 5 years ago when we were in need of seasoned offshore welders able to impress a new client having been awarded a last-minute contract.  We didn't have the manpower internally and so approached several agencies. Within an hour of making the call I received 10 CV’s, obviously, all people Craig new well based on his comments on each person.  We had rates agreed, check in’s booked and paperwork complete before any of the other agencies had even sent one CV.  Since that impressive delivery and excellent feedback from our client we have continued to use Craig for all offshore ad-hoc requirements and he has continued to deliver time and time again.  We now class a few of the people he has introduced as core crew workers and have worked for us 70%-80% of the year since 2015.    Excellent service always. There is no doubt your new venture will be a success. Good Luck! WORKS MANAGER - Aberdeen

[/testimonial_item][testimonial_item ]Buckley Specialist Recruitment have been supplying our company with ad hoc offshore support for years. We repeatedly call upon the contractors introduced to us by them when we are unable to find people ourselves.  9 times out of 10 these are the difficult requirements such as coded cunifer welders or instrument pipefitters and valve technicians during TAR season. 95% of the people we have engaged with, introduced by Buckley Specialist Recruitment have been competent, hardworking contractors with most importantly a good, flexible attitude towards work.  We have had the odd problem with a person or two but we expect that. When there has been an issue Craig has immediately resolved or replaced the contractor. OFFSHORE RECRUITMENT MANAGER - Aberdeen
