On back of a recommendation, I contacted Quest Recruitment to avail of their services. I was not disappointed! The service provided by Quest (particularly Deirdre Murphy ) was first class. A fantastic end to end service. They made contact with immediate effect, quickly established my background and job interests and provided continuous updates and guidance. This was my first venture into the job market in a long time, so it was great to acquire such high end support. I would truly recommend Quest Recruitment to assist with job search, as they have proven to be a highly professional and capable recruitment organisation.

The offers you found for me were perfectly matched with my experience and expectations and your help in preparing me for interviews was priceless. All the materials about the interviewing companies you provided me with were excellent; your guidance on what to focus on was very valuable and always accurate. Please let me thank you again for all your efforts and your kindness.

As someone who had never used a recruitment agency before, I was unsure what to expect when I started dealing with Quest Recruitment. From the very beginning Deirdre was incredibly helpful, not only explaining her role in finding me a new position, but also helping me prepare for the recruitment process itself. Throughout this process Deirdre was always quick in responding to any of my questions and most importantly, she was very professional, open and honest in her answers.
I’ve already recommended Deirdre at Quest Recruitment to other colleagues who have found themselves in need of a new job and would recommend them to anyone who would like (or is being forced into!) a change!

“Having availed of the services of Quest Recruitment in my last two career placings, I had the pleasure of consulting with Louise Delaney on both occasions. I would describe Louise as consistently professional, approachable, diligent, and helpful in equal measure. She was most prompt in locating suitable opportunities, setting up the corresponding interviews, providing excellent information pre & post interview on any queries that I had, and negotiating offers on my behalf.
Ultimately, in prioritising matching the right candidate to the right company, she guided me in selecting suitable & successful placements on both occasions. Louise is an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her as an excellent choice of consultant to anyone looking to further their career in the financial services industry.”

Quest Recruitment provide an excellent service and I would highly recommend Quest Recruitment to any person who is I finished college in 2009 after completing a Bachelor of Business Honours Degree. From the day I finished college until November this year I had been applying for jobs non stop without any success. I got in contact with Steven from Quest and he was extremely helpful. Stephen helped me to improve my CV and my interview techniques which really boosted my confidence.
Within two weeks of meeting with Steven I got the job of my dreams, without Quest I would not have even been called for a first round interview as looking back now my CV was not to the standard of which it is now. The Quest team met with me before both my first round and second round interviews to make sure I was fully prepared and this took away any nerves I was experiencing.
I would like take this opportunity to thank Quest Recruitment for all the help and support they gave to me. Wishing Quest every success in the future.

John McCormack assisted me in the job seeking process. After sending my CV through an external website I was contacted within 24 hours. John asked me specific questions to understand what my current jobs was and what exactly I was looking for. He decided to meet me a few days at his lunch break. John managed to secure me a new role with Northern Trust. I would highly recommend John and all the team at Quest.

I dealt with Quest Recruitment when applying for a position within Bank of New York Mellon in November 2010. I found their approach extremely professional and friendly from start to finish of the recruitment process. John McCormack at Quest guided me through the process from the assessment stage to interview and also the screening and reference checks once I secured the job. I believe that one of the main reasons I secured this role was due to John’s work in preparing me for the interview and narowing down what areas to focus on. He rang me the day before the interview to make sure I was well prepared and also followed up post interview and was a great help. I would strongly recommend anyone to avail of the services of Quest Recruitment when seeking employment as they have a very focused, professional, open and friendly approach to their work.

From beginning to end I was very happy with the service provided by Quest. I was put in contact with Deirdre Murphy through W.I.T’s career office. Deirdre had great in depth knowledge of the role and the industry as a whole and was able to give me a good idea of what to expect throughout the recruitment process. I received a detailed preparation pack to assist my study for the role and was in regular contact with Quest in the lead up to my interviews, this included mock interviews over the telephone and in person. Overall I rate Quest Recruitment very highly and would not hesitate to recommend them to someone searching for employment in the financial services and banking industry.
Daniel – Graduate

I would highly recommend Quest as I found them to be the most helpful Recruitment Agent I’ve ever dealt with. When I was looking for employment, I had dealt with a couple of different Recruitment Agents and each of them met me and informed me of open position etc. However when I was contacted by Deirdre in Quest, she seemed to go that extra mile and I found her very helpful and approachable. She not only kept in regular contact informing me of any open positions but she also gave me advice on bettering my CV and interview techniques. I was contacted by several Recruitment Agents regarding a position in the same company, however Deirdre was the only one to get me the interview. It was this company which I’m now employed thanks to Deirdre. I’m very grateful for all the assistance I received from everyone at Quest!!!

‘When I decided to change jobs earlier this year I had intended to visit a few recruitment agencies. Quest was my first port of call and after meeting with them I had no need to go to any other agency as I was so impressed with the high level of service they provided. I hadn’t had a formal interview in 6 years so I was nervous at the prospect of an interview but David was fantastic at preparing me in advance and even meet me just before the interview to put me at my ease. Thanks to him the interview went great and now I have the job I always wanted. So thank you Quest.’

I had planned to change jobs during the summer of this year, but I knew with the crowded workforce and limited jobs available at this current climate, that it would be tough to get a look-in on my own. I realised that it would be best to do this via a recruitment agency. I had heard good things about Quest Recruitment from some of my colleagues, so I decided to contact them. I can honestly say that Quest no only lived up to, but exceeded my expectations. I dealt with Louise who I found to be very friendly, knowledgeable & efficient. She listened to all my requirements and within a very short period had found the perfect job for me, of which I am currently happily employed for the last month.
