Marchwood have a somewhat different approach to recruitment from other competitors. Phil had several conversations with me at the beginning, where I told him about my past experience and skill set, my expectations and my ambitions. He patiently listened to what I had to say. The entire process took not much more than a month. Very little time was wasted and resulted in a very successful match between myself and the employer. I would thoroughly recommend Marchwood to strong candidates with good experience and high ambitions.

Trust this man. I was viewing job ads for a while when I noticed that the ones posted by Marchwood were the most relevant for me. After sending my CV to Phil we had a friendly telephone conversation where I shared my situation and my career development intentions. I would like to emphasize that thanks to his connection to the right people in the industry we soon found a potential company where I met my current team. Job is exceeding my expectations. After many years I am still so satisfied, thanks again Phil.

Phil was very helpful to find me a part time position which still met my career ambitions following the birth of my daughter. Most recruiters who had contacted me didn’t follow up once they knew I was looking for part time so thank you Phil! He was very attentive to my needs and never made me feel like I should settle.

Phil has a different approach compared with the other recruitment agencies, which I really appreciate. After couple friendly chats on the phone he managed to find me a position that was a good fit for me. I recommended Phil to couple of my friends and colleagues. Thanks again Phil.

Phil always presents himself in a friendly and professional manner. I've been extremely pleased with not only the effort he put in when finding a suitable role for me, but also the advice he provided on my career progression. The readily available network that he's developed is a testament to his attitude regarding the building industry, and the high standards that he's set for himself and his clients.

Phil and Marchwood are a breath of fresh air in the recruitment world. The unique process drives a great candidate experience which is professional, controlled and thorough. You will have a genuine expert in your market, industry or specialism in your corner helping you make the right career move. To any candidates out there thinking it is time to make a move I would thoroughly recommend utilising these guys to help you on that journey.

Phil worked hard and diligently to find me the right opportunity. You hear and read a lot of bad press about recruitment consultants sometimes and I can honestly say it doesn’t apply to Phil. I like his approach and I was kept informed at all times.

I was quite particular about my requirements, indeed they changed through a period of about a year as I investigated my career move and Phil listened to these, adapted and ultimately brought to me the exact role I was looking for. Can’t really ask for much more.

I highly recommend Phil. After our initial conversation, Phil gave me time and space to consider my options before following up on where I stood. Once decided, Phil took note of what I wanted in a job and went the extra mile in finding the right fit for me.

Phil, thanks for helping me to secure my new position at Aecom. Great job!

I'm really pleased with the approach taken by Phil. He went extra mile by listening to what aspects of a job I wanted to change. I had interviews lined up with few companies which allowed me to make a well informed decision on which environment is best for me. Every engineer is different and Phil puts a strong emphasis on tailoring his recruitment process to each individual. From the first chat we had, until starting my new role, I've been feeling well looked after. Thanks Phil!

Had a great experience with Phil, took into account all my comments resulting in a move which benefited my career.

Could not recommend Phil and the team more, they genuinely seem to practice what they preach. Phil listened to what I was after and delivered exactly as he said he would. Not only that but with his relaxed and friendly approach he makes the whole process straightforward and stress-free.

Phil did a great job in securing me a new exciting role and a great next step in my career. Phil took the time to understand my situation and what I wanted from my new role and proved himself to be a real door-opener in a time where many companies were reluctant to hiring. I would definitely recommend Phil and Marchwood to anyone who are looking for a new role within building services.

I've been working with Phil for over 5 years now and in this time he's secured great positions for me at high profile international consultancies in London and Bristol, as both a contract and perm engineer The roles put forward were always exactly on spec with close support provided from the initial discussion with him through to interviews and then securing the best package. Even more impressive is having opportunities put forward during early 2020, when the 1st lockdown was in full swing.

Fantastic level of service and interaction with Phil and the team, resulting in me finding a perfect role for me. Phil's desire to understand me as an individual rather than a number, engagement with me throughout the process, discussing roles and their relevance to me in an honest and open way is a real differentiator. A much better experience during my search with Phil than with other recruiters I was in touch with at that time.

Within only a few weeks Phil managed to find me a job that ticked off all the boxes and gave me the chance to enter the next stage of my career. Working with Phil went very smoothly as he listened to what I wanted and from his knowledge in the field of building services was he able to offer me multiple job opportunities. I would highly recommend Phil.

Phil is a fantastic recruiter, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he’s done. Phil was able to put me in contact with multiple different employers, of different sizes, within the building services industry. He worked fast and dealt with all of the admin, so I didn’t have to.

When I did find a position, I was interested in Phil was able to negotiate on my behalf and get the best possible deal for all involved.

I would strongly recommend Phil to anyone looking for new opportunities, as well as employers looking to find new employees.

My experience with Phil really couldn't have been better. Phil took the time to understand me as an individual and focused on providing me with career opportunities that wouldn't have existed without his contacts, insight and support. Superb service throughout the entire process.
