Every one of these was written by someone who worked with Mike, in their own words.
Project managers, estimators, surveyors and buyers who were placed in permanent roles, and the contractors who hired them. Nothing here has been tidied up or shortened to sound better.
If you want to speak to someone we have worked with before you commit to anything, ask. Mike will put you in touch.
Contacted Mike at ravensearch looking for a new role. Found Mike to be very helpful and well versed in the industry. Within a couple of weeks managed to secure offers with companies that weren’t even advertising roles at that time. I would recommend using ravensearch.

I am writing to express my thanks to Mike Halliwell, for the great service that he has delivered to us over this last year. The engineers that we have used are all of high calibre and represent the agency and Michael very well. The whole approach Mike took to placing the right people in the right place was just right, CVs of just a few candidates were delivered that would be suitable rather than a large number, he was knowledgeable about their strengths and weaknesses and he was able to ensure that the candidates would have the right character to fit in. He also worked well to the strict deadlines that we set and helped us accordingly when it mattered. I have every confidence in Mike's ability and will continue to work with him in the future.

We often recruit for niche, hard-to-fill technical positions. We have used a lot of different agencies in the past, but now find it most effective to deal with a select number who understand our business, work relentlessly on a requirement even when it takes a long time to fill, and use every technique to find the best people. Mike has demonstrated a very pro-active approach to our recruitment needs and managed to find excellent people within limited time. Good people are key to the success of any company.

I am writing to express my thanks to your agency, and in particular Mike Halliwell, for the assistance he has given over recent months. I was aware from the start that this would be a challenging assignment and Mike has done an excellent job in acting efficiently and promptly while steering us through the process and helping us find the right person. Mike took the right approach on sending CVs through of candidates that would be suitable, they acknowledged each candidate's strengths and weaknesses and ensured that the candidates would have the right character to fit in with HE Simm. I have been impressed with the service I have received and how they have kept in touch to check everything was progressing smoothly. I will have no hesitations in recommending and recruiting through Mike again in the future.
I can't praise Mike highly enough, I, like many, was initially sceptical of recruitment consultants as I have never used one previously. I went to a meeting on a Thursday with Mike, it was a nice, relaxed atmosphere which put me at ease, we discussed my options and the following day he had arranged two interviews for the following week, both roles were tailor made for what I was looking for, which was brilliant! I was offered both roles and started work the following week. Mike has been in touch several times to ask how things are going and has been a great help ensuring the transition to my new role has been seamless, he has impressed me with his attention to detail and professional attitude and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services once again. Thanks once again Mike!

Mike has been a great help to me over the time I have known him, he always goes that extra mile to help and never failed to deliver what he promises. He is always working hard to get the best option on your behalf. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking for different opportunities in the job market.
When I had to leave a company I really enjoyed working for, for personal reasons, Mike made sure that the move was to a company who are a perfect fit for my experience and career goals. His communication about the role and throughout the interview process was great and I was really happy with the level of service he gave. I would definitely recommend him to others looking for their next move.
