"We signed up to Chameleon's innovative contract scheme in May this year, and since then they have filled a number of permanent vacancies for us in both Accounts & Office Support.
The quality of candidates has been superb, which has meant some tough decision-making on our part!
The service is friendly and efficient and has made the whole recruitment process for our imminent relocation so much more bearable.
And as for the cost - remarkably inexpensive."

I would like to say thank you for listening to us and understanding our requirements right from the word go. You have seemed to understand our criteria far better than other agencies as you clearly seem switched on to what we are looking for.
Having looked for over two months and interviewing other candidates supplied by other agencies, we were starting to wonder whether our requirements were too exacting, or whether we were being too picky.
Certainly one particular agency that we have used felt this was the case.

Good Morning Isla,
Thanks for all your help in a successful outcome for us as we continue to grow. Please pass on my condolences to the unsuccessful candidate, honestly it was down to the toss of a coin in the end, it was that close between them as the standard was so high.
Kindest Regards

"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."

"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."

"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."

"...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."

"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."

I am so thankful for the support and opportunity I was given by you during these last few months.
There is a lot to learn but I am so pleased to be in this trainee position and I simply love what I am learning.
I believe that everything is going well. These first six months will be only about the placement within different departments of Supply chain but after that I have the opportunity to be in a position, first in France then Germany possibly. Thank you!

Having dealt with other agencies in the past, I would just like to thank Sharan for the pleasant and efficient way that she handled my job application.
The support I received from the very start of the process through to actually being offered the position I applied for was wonderful.
I thought that once I had started my new position that would be the last I heard from them but they have been in touch to see how I am settling in.
Thank you for all your help, support and kindness

Dear Isla,
I'd like to sincerely thank you for all your work in the last few months. You've been very helpful, understanding, cheerful, and enthusiastic all along, even though I was just one of the applicants.
The recruitment process under your hands was one of the - or quite possibly the best I've had the pleasure of being part of.
Please accept my thanks for everything you've done. I've felt that you went above and beyond of what could be expected of anyone in your role, and I think that's something very rare nowadays.
Thank you once again,
Wishing all the Best,
Greg Berta - January 2011

‘I am really pleased with Chameleon Personnel. They actually went through my CV and gave me a few pointers to update it when I applied, rather than it going straight to the dustbin route. Following this, my application was then forwarded, and I got immense support and prep throughout the process till the very end! And even now as I am happily settling in my new role!
I am really grateful to Fiona for everything, and would definitely recommend Chameleon to anyone serious about their career .
Thank you once again.’

on Chameleon Personnel Services
"After working in London and living in Leighton Buzzard I was unsure of which recruitment firm to contact. I saw Chameleon Personnel Services advertised whilst walking in the town centre and just called in to see them. I was made to feel very welcome and everyone took the time to talk to me. Thank you so much."
and on Teresa Nee
"Teresa made contact with me directly after a role came in which she thought would be of interest to me. Meeting Teresa face to face was the best way to take things forward for both of us. She made me feel at ease straight away and understood the fact that 'one size does not fit all'. The constant communication and the fact that she saw me as an individual who knew what I wanted has benefitted both of us. I would just like to say excellent service and thank you."

‘I first heard about Chameleon Personnel when I applied for a particular role through a job site. They were helpful, gave me lots of information and were quick and effective in the process. There is always someone friendly on the other end of the phone and the support they offer is very much appreciated.
Coming from a background of limited work experience I thought the process of finding a job would be long, hard and disappointing. However when I applied for this one role Teresa Nee contacted me immediately. She gave me support, encouragement, information about the occupation, advice and a warm welcome every time I called! She calmed down my pre-interview nerves and called me within hours after my interview to let me know I got the job! Teresa constantly gives me guidance and commitment and has made me feel extremely comfortable and confident in my new job, thanks!’

“Having looked for work in London through larger recruitment agencies without success for six months, I noticed Chameleon in passing. Not only did Sharan meet with me straight away, outside office hours, she also found me the perfect job within a matter of weeks. I couldn’t be happier. Chameleon Personnel are a refreshing change from the pushy big city recruitment agencies”.
