I was referred to Rose at GKR by an interviewer who worked for a Mews property specialist company. Rose was an absolute delight to work with. She was professional, proactive, supportive and got me my first job in London within a WEEK of working with one another. She went the extra mile and gave me valuable interview advice and kept me in the loop regarding feedback from the companies I Interviewed at. It reached the stage that Rose even calculated how long my journey to the offices would take, so that I could focus on my preparation and have a stress free job hunting experience. I’ve never come across a more authentic, professional and hard working recruiter before. Rose deserves all the success that comes her way and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.

First class experience with Bradley. I had been in touch with a few recruiters but Bradley was by far the best. Listened to what I was looking for and got me a placement for the exact company I wanted. He was never pushy and I felt like he genuinely wanted to help, it was like talking with a friend. At points I was indecisive and Bradley assertiveness helped me to make the right decision. He provided great advice and followed up to make sure everything was okay. Thanks again Bradley and I will be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a job.

Superb communication through-out, completely different to other recruiters, Michael went hunting for vacancies rather than just sending me automated emails from existing jobs that most other recruiters seem to do. Not only that, he actually got to know me and the role I was looking for to make the match completely compatible from both sides rather than just putting me forward for anything. A truly quality over quantity service, will hopefully be expanding the office I’m in and would only use Michael's recruitment to do this.

Had the pleasure to work with Rose Lock and she was amazing over the past month on a new role for me. She kept me in the loop of the process and her commitment during the process was incredible. Really would highly recommend GKR International and thank you Rose for getting me the perfect role!

I can honestly say that this has been my best experience working with a recruitment company namely Rose, she helped me with every step of prep before interviews and was always checking in with me and updating me on any potential opportunities.
I know that if I am in the position where I need to find a new opportunity in the future Rose will be my first call.
I look forward to starting my new role and I can say that is largely down to how pro active and invested Rose was in my success.
Lastly anytime I did call the office everyone I spoke to was always very friendly , a 5 star experience all round

I was recommended to go with Lee by a friend and it was the best thing I could have done to find a suitable role. Lee was communicative, informative and was able to tailor my search based on my requirements and personality. He made the process seamless and much less stressful, all whilst staying friendly and professional.

Rose is extremely professional and caring. Not only did she keep me updated regularly, but she also ensured that I understood every step of the process and helped me make decisions about my next career move. She was supportive, efficient, and prompt. I must admit that her enthusiasm, positivity, and professionalism played a significant role in helping me make the right choice for my career. I would definitely recommend GKR, especially Rose, to any of my friends from now on.

I had the opportunity to work with Lee at GKR Recruitment, and I’m really grateful for his support. After being with my previous employer for six years, this was my first time interviewing for a new role in a long time, and also my first return to work after having my first child. I was looking for a flexible position to balance work and family life, and Lee took the time to understand my needs. He put me forward for some excellent opportunities, including the role I’m now in, which has been a great fit. I really appreciated his guidance throughout the process—he made the experience much easier and less stressful. I’d highly recommend Lee for anyone looking for a professional recruiter who truly listens.

Had a fantastic service from GKR. Everyone I spoke with was extremely responsive and positive. A massive thank you to Mitch who personally oversaw my case. He provided an invaluable amount of information and experience on each interview, called before and after to see how it went and help me through the whole process.

Inhave had the best ever experience with Bradley compared to any other instance of dealing with a recruitment agent.
I cannot praise his efforts enough, from day one till i started my job, and EVEN after i started my job, Bradley Helier was constantly in touch with me guiding me through every single detail quesrions i had. The most amazing part that displays his extra ordinary work ethic was him following up even after i started my job, which really gave it a personal edge and made me feel grateful for a friendly support.
Great asset you have GKR International, really appreciate your service and cannot thank Bradley enough!
100% reccommend!

This recruitment company has been so supportive in helping me get a role. To be specific my recruiting agent Michael was such a profound help. He was very persistent in making sure I was ready for my interview. He was such a great help and as a result of his support and guidance I was able to ace interview stages with confidence and ease.

Thank you GRK International and thank you Michael!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Michael on the team who was unbelievably helpful and responsive with all my questions. He went above and beyond in helping me with my search and is by far the most professional person in recruitment I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He knows how things work and was always giving me great and actionable advice for interviews. Would happily recommend!

I had the pleasure of first speaking to Grant in May 2024 as a candidate. Grant really took the time to understand me, my values, my background and what role I was hoping to secure. He surpassed my expectations. To Grant, it wasn't about just filling a role and moving on, it was more. He found the perfect fit for the Company and myself. I would not hesitate to recommend his service and expertise, whether an employer or candidate. I am fortunate to remain in contact with Grant and his team, and use their services in building our UK team.

I’ve worked with a couple of the team from GKR, both so lovely, this time I was introduced to Anu.
I’ve never spoken to such a genuinely kind and positive person! She supported me from the get go and still continues to check up on me after helping me find a wonderful role. Very grateful for her attention to detail and support.
I’d previously worked with Bradley a while ago for a different role and he was equally as encouraging and supportive.
Very grateful to the GKR team for helping me gain my confidence and finding my feet in the corporate world :))

I recently began a new role through GKR International and couldn’t be happier—with both the position itself and the outstanding service I received. A special thanks to Michael Cartman, who truly went above and beyond. He took the time to ensure I fully understood the role and the opportunities it offered. His attentiveness and dedication made all the difference. Michael is a real asset to GKR, and I hope the company recognises the exceptional recruiter they have in him. I’d highly recommend GKR to anyone looking for their next opportunity.
