I would like to write a testimonial for Elkie Holland to say how much we valued her assistance in finding the right person for our software developer vacancy and ensuring that all our needs were met at every stage. We would definitely work with Elkie again the next time we are recruiting."

Elkie is the best placed person in the UK to provide suitable Pick / U2 / Reality / mvbase, and so on contract and permanent staff. Always reliable, always delivering on time, I have placed several projects in Elkies hands over the years, and every time she has delivered the exact requirements on time and to budget. Thouroughly recommend ELkie's company Prospectus if you are looking for rdbms people.

My first contact with Elkie was when she acted as a recruiter to find me a position. Having received excellent service from Elkie it was natural that I should then use Elkie to help me find staff for a new IT function within the company I worked for. During a period when the skills I was looking for in my staff were in short supply Elkie came up with innovative ideas for recruiting staff, including open evenings and even travelling to Australia to recruit staff from there. On moving to another company I continued to use Elkie to find staff for the next ten years, until I left the IT industry. I have nothing but praise for the way Elkie works and for her enthusiasm, skill and knowledge. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Elkie and have every confidence in the work that she performs.

I really appreciate the approach Elkie takes to recruitment compared to the rather faceless and impersonal large outfits, where it sometimes seems like dog eat dog !, and I can say that now from both sides of the fence.

In the current economic climate, it seems that agencies are swamped with applicants and rarely take the time to respond to their applications. Not only did Prospectus respond, but through understanding my strengths and requirements, I was interviewed for 2 positions and got through to a second interview. For a personal and professional service, I thoroughly recommend Prospectus.

Have worked with Elkie to place people over several years and find her and her colleagues to work very effectively. She works with a high level of integrity based on my experience and incisively identifies the right candidates for roles.
