Peeq - The HR Recruitment Specialists Reviews

I have known Mark for many years and it has always been a pleasure to work with him, both on the Client side when he delivers a personal and exemplary service for both his Clients and candidates, and as a candidate myself. I appreciate his thought leadership and knowledge, alongside his sound practical advice and coaching. I can honestly say Mark is one of the best in the business, handling any rejection you may face with such humility that it ends up a positive experience. Peeq are always responsive and considerate, following up to check in even if you are not actively engaged. When you are in a process as a candidate, they ensure you are well briefed and fully prepared for any process you enter into. Peeq only seeks to match the right candidates with the right opportunities, there is never any attempt to oversell. Their focus is on finding the right match for the right role without compromise. I highly recommend Peeq to any companies or leaders looking to find great HR talent. You can trust Peeq to give the right level of commitment to supporting you in making the right hire.

I made contact with Mark recently as he had stood out as very knowledgeable and helpful over the years. My session with him was invaluable and I came away with food for thought as well as some really useful hints and tips. It's great to have an external perspective and I always appreciated how generous Mark is with his time. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Peeq to both candidates and also to employers. It’s refreshing to work with a recruiter who really takes the time to understand candidate skillsets and motivators thus also making a great match with employer needs much more likely.

Mark Barnicoat was kind enough to devote his time to supporting me with advice on how to elevate my LinkedIn profile and make my CV more attractive to prospective employers. Mark's advice was first class and absolutely invaluable - providing really insightful, honest and helpful feedback - free of charge too!!! His personable and supportive approach was massively encouraging. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Mark if you're looking to elevate your profile in the competitive job market .

Mark brings extensive industry knowledge and was able to share invaluable market insights and guidance on refining my job search strategy.

Mark is brilliant - he provided me such an insightful and empathetic session on my job search which has been invaluable. All his pointers on my LI profile and CV are super tangible and I'm looking forward to now implementing his words of wisdom. Mark genuinely cares about the people he is working with. I've also used Peeq to hire, and they are fantastic. They go above and beyond to really understand the role, the company and culture, it's a fully bespoke service and I was sent such high quality candidates. I hope to work with them again and will always recommend them. Thank you Mark and Anna!

The Peeq team are amazing! It isn't just the fact that they are hugely experienced. Neither is it because they genuinely care for the individuals that they are supporting - it really feels like you are the most important 'client' that they have. They are excellent at what they do but what really sets them apart from so many is that they care so much that, in preparing for their meeting with you, they use all of their expertise and knowledge to create a bespoke plan specifically for you. They share their knowledge even though it might mean that they miss out on a placement fee - it doesn't bother them at all. All they want to do is to ensure that you are as well equipped as you possibly can be for your search. They are really nice people as well! I can't recommend them highly enough!

I recently had the pleasure of spending time with Mark discussing my job search, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of support he provided. Mark went above and beyond with his detailed advice and guidance on how to approach my search. He took the time to review my LinkedIn profile, suggested a few valuable changes, and shared helpful tips and tricks to improve my strategy. Mark has such a personable, calm, and thoughtful manner, making the entire process not only productive but enjoyable. I would absolutely love to work with him as either a candidate or a client.

Mark has recently supported me in the search for my next role. He has provided with invaluable tips to enhance my CV and LinkedIn profile as well as clear advise on how to create more conducive job searches in job boards. Mark is personable in his interactions and knowledgable in his advise. But above all, he is kind and supportive and understands the plight of finding a new role.

Lindsey Oliver 2024.12.10

     

Having recently been made redundant, a previous colleague recommended I speak to Mark - and I'm so glad I did! He was super personable, and shared some really simple, practical (and non-patronising!) advice about how to approach and enhance my job search, some of which I was able to put into practice immediately after I ended the call, and others I've been working on over the past few weeks. I was also a litle sceptical of using Chat GPT, but again, he showed me some very practical and subtle ways to incorporate it's use into my overall approach which I've been able to put into practice without feeling like I've succumbed to the bot! Thanks Mark, for taking the time to talk to me - I would absolutely recommend a chat with him to anyone early on in their job search or who needs to reset and refocus their search.

I recently connected with Mark during my job search, and he represented me for one of his roles. Throughout the process, he was highly communicative, providing regular updates and offering support both before and after interviews. He also shared valuable career advice. I highly recommend Peeq as a specialist HR agency, both from a client and candidate perspective.

Mark was a fantastic source of advice for helping improve my LinkedIn profile and career goals. His knowledge was invaluable for ChatGPT, and I loved the real-time view of improvements I could make to my CV to give me the best possible opportunities to secure a new role. He took the time to get to know what I wanted to achieve from my job search, and used this to provide valuable tips to help me hone in on organisations and industries I was interested to work in. I would highly recommend Peeq for recruiting and CV coaching! 🙂
