They were looking for a partner who could;

Understand what it’s truly like to be part of their team
Assess not only skillset and experience but also personality, ethos, and values.
Add value beyond sending CV’s

The feedback that counts

Uprated has worked with Konker for the past 2 years and Ashley has been instrumental in helping us to attract talent to the agency. The last 12 months saw us win a number of new clients, including some that required us to quickly add resource.

Ashley understood our agency, culture and needs, enabling him to quickly identify candidates who were a strong fit for the business, saving us a significant amount of time and allowing us to reduce our typical recruitment time frame to meet our new clients’ needs. We look forward to continuing our work with Ashley and Konker to support the growth of the agency.
