Testimonials

“A very professional approach. The whole process was seamless, communication was efficient throughout. All candidates put forward were acceptable. I have no doubts that I would use McCourt Newton again. It has been a pleasure working with you and I am really happy with the speed of the service and the quality of the final candidate. I have worked with McCourt Newton on “both sides of the fence” now and can say that it has been a great experience on both occasions.” Managing Director- Walki UK

“Over the years I have worked with a number of recruitment companies, either to source a new role, or recruit. McCourt Newton have been a breath of fresh air compared to others. The brief was accurate, the company information was comprehensive and I felt they fully understood what the candidates role would be and what would be expected from them. I felt the initial meeting with McCourt Newton prior to any interview, was extremely beneficial- they know the industry very well, can single out the right candidates to fit the role- not just sent through several CV’s that seem to fit! Highly recommended.”  Sales Manager – Paper Based Packaging

“I really would like to thank you very much for your help. There are many recruitment companies out there, but you are from very far the most professional people I have worked with. Please can I keep your details.” – Quality Manager – Packaging

“From a candidate perspective I don’t feel that there needs to be any improvement. I have previously dealt with recruitment groups and the difference and professionalism with McCourt Newton has been brilliant.  I had a great experience with McCourt Newton, helpful, informative, professional. Great to have updates throughout the process too. Highly recommend. Completely stress free recruitment process.”  Business Development Manager Primary School Catering.

“Before meeting one of the McCourt Newton Directors, I really did not have a good word to say about the recruitment companies working in our industry, who universally overpromise and underdeliver. This was a Board level appointment and the McCourt Newton Director took a very detailed brief, screened a large number of applications, delivered an impressive long list and a very high quality shortlist. As part of this we were provided with detailed interview notes on the short listed candidates, which were very helpful. We ended up being spoiled for choice and we are delighted with the appointment we have made. It was an outstanding service.” – Group Managing Director – UK  Corrugated Packaging Group

“Very professional with the right balance of contact.  Good understanding of the role requirements and our company.  Sharon met all timelines as agreed right from our very first conversation regarding the placement.” – HR Manager RPC Bramlage Division

“There were no areas of the recruitment process that were not of a high standard. As a candidate living in New Zealand aiming to relocate back home to the UK, time difference was potentially going to be a problem, but Lynn was fantastic as she was flexible in her time, communicated clearly and kept me well informed so that the whole process went smoothly.” – Operations Manager – Corrugated Packaging Group 

“Lynn is a credit to the recruitment industry. Not only did she spend time in completely understanding the requirements of the business and applies thought and innovation to source the most suitable candidate, she also keeps in touch regularly as industry opportunities arise which can mutually benefit her clients.
