Testimonials
"As a Sole Practitioner looking to expand, it was essential for me to get my first full time recruit right. I know how hard it is to recruit the right person first time round, so I was loathe to spend thousands of pounds with an agency only to find I'd got it wrong!
So when Fiona told me about her new scheme it sounded perfect for my circumstances.
£300 a month was a much more realistic proposition for me and, coupled with the knowledge that I had 4 other chances to get it right over the next 12 months, I was more than happy to sign up.
Having used Chameleon Personnel several times to recruit in the past, I knew that they could source for me, and more importantly, continue to source for me if need be at no further cost.
As it happens, I haven't yet quite needed anyone else as my first recruit is just perfect...she's been with me 10 months and I haven't finished paying for her yet! I don't know of any other agency offering these terms!?"

"Recruitment can be an expensive exercise in terms of both time and money, so when Chameleon Personnel told us about their cost-saving scheme, it made sense for us to sign up.
We no longer have to worry about hefty recruitment bills, and when we have a vacancy, we only have to explain our requirements once and they send us suitably vetted candidates to interview.
The service is professional and friendly. I'd recommend it to other businesses looking for a personable but professional agency to deal with, at a fraction of the cost."

"It's refreshing to find a local recruitment company that delivers on professionalism and the calibre of candidate they put forward.
Not only that, they are nice people to deal with!"

"Like many other Finance Directors I'm sure, I had no intention of recruiting this year; we've spent tens of thousands on permanent recruitment fees in finance in a 12 month period before, so when we heard about Chameleon Personnel's new contract scheme I felt I'd like something like this up my sleeve, just in case... I arranged for the presentation and sure enough two weeks later I found I had a complete re-structure on my hands...
Chameleon Personnel provide an invaluable service to us in terms of the quality of service, the scheme's cost effectiveness and value for money. Initially we registered two temp to perm roles which were quickly filled, and both candidates were subsequently taken on permanently with no further fee to pay other than our monthly standing order of £300. In addition I'm confident that if I need anyone in my finance team in the next 10 months that they will fill the role. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to cut their recruitment costs substantially."

Financial Director – Euroway Vehicle Contracts Ltd
"We had recruited Accountancy and Office Support Staff from Chameleon Personnel over the past couple of years and knew that the service was extremely reliable. When they started their new annual contract scheme I was quite sceptical as I felt it was almost 'too good to be true'.
Our Management team also had concerns about the product and how it would work, so we arranged for Fiona to come to us and present to the Board.
We wanted to be further convinced of their ability to supply the appropriate calibre of candidate. As a result of the meeting, our concerns were dealt with and we signed up that day.
Since signing up last month we have already recruited one candidate in Field Sales at £22,000 and I expect that in the next 12 months there will be more.
As Finance Director I am happy in the knowledge that we have already reduced our recruitment costs this year and more importantly, that this cost is now fixed regardless of any 'surprises' in our Finance, Admin and perhaps more unusually for Chameleon Personnel; Sales team.
Well done!
I am happy to endorse both their service and this revolutionary new concept in recruiting."

"Alliotts engaged the services of Chameleon Personnel Services in April this year and Fiona and her team have provided us with an excellent service putting forward high calibre candidates and, in just three months, have already placed 3 staff with us. As a result we have made substantial recruitment savings."

"For an SME, recruitment is a time consuming and costly exercise, and the idea of paying a small monthly fee to engage the services of a professional agency was very appealing. We were somewhat sceptical about the level and quality of service we would get for such an outlay, but these fears were completely unfounded.
We have just recruited a key member of staff through the agency, and the whole process was handled just as we would have wished. Applicants were well screened, and carefully matched to the profile we supplied, and we were able to quickly fill our vacancy.
As well as the obvious cash flow advantage, the added benefit to us is that we do not keep getting calls from them looking for work as they now know we'll call them! They owe us four more..."

"...I would like to say that I like the fresh approach to recruitment that you have employed and as far as the service to go along with it, this has been second to none, so thank you for your efforts."
Jim Bergson
Bergson & Eaton Ltd
"We had a recruitment need for a very specific role in our practice a few weeks ago and were intrigued by the marketing material we had been sent by Chameleon Personnel for their new scheme.
We arranged for a presentation, signed up, and our role was filled in a matter of days.
As far as we are concerned it's the best value for money we have ever received from a recruitment agent in the 26 years we have been trading.
I can't see why a business wouldn't sign up to this programme."
