Jackie at Rural Recruitment was amazing from start to finish with our recruitment needs for a gardener both in Jersey and the UK.
Jackie was very professional, friendly and efficient and made the whole process seamless. She was very thorough in her searches to ensure that the right candidates were put forward for interviews, kept us up to date at all times and was always at the end of the phone if we had any questions.
I would highly recommend Jackie and her team at Rural Recruitment.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca at Rural Recruitment to anyone looking for a highly professional yet personal service.
I contacted Rebecca with quite a tricky assignment to find a competent, friendly temporary Nanny/Housekeeper over the Christmas and New Year period…no easy feat!
Rebecca took time to establish the key elements of the job and put forward potential candidates. I chose a wonderful person called Rachael who turned out to be Wonderwoman in disguise! She was a complete star and I am so thankful to her.
Thank you Rebecca for a great service and I will certainly sing your praises…
Best wishes

Happy New Year to you.
I am very honoured that you have asked me! Certainly I am very happy to help you.
It’s ok to mention my initials but certainly not the family, please.
I have been very fortunate to work with Rebecca at Rural Recruitment. Throughout the whole process she has kept me informed and updated at each stage. Even on the days she was on annual leave she didn’t forget about me and still helped me whenever she could. Before the final interview she kept in touch and wished me the world’s luck and also followed up after the interview. It truly shows the 100% compassion and commitment for her clients as well as job seekers.
The Rural Recruitment is an outstanding company which provides an extraordinary service and very specialised in their area. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for their dream job.
Once again, thank you very much Rebecca for all your support and encouragement!
Best wishes,

Rural Recruitment provided a simple solution to my mother’s live-in housekeeping needs. Their process is friendly and straightforward and once I had locked the brief they went live immediately. The quality of the candidates was excellent and the whole process (from flash to bang) was far quicker than I could have hoped for. Great job and a heartfelt thanks
Ben Corah
As anyone who lives in rural Norfolk knows, finding a proper housekeeper is pretty much impossible. Until now. A great service from Rebecca, all the way through from finding the right candidate to all the checks and due diligence. A super smooth process, very professionally undertaken. I would not hesitate to use Rural again and again. Thank you.

I came across Rural Recruitment, advertising what seemed like a very promising position, I applied and Jackie responded promptly, then continued to provide regular updates, even at weekends and evenings.

I have used Rural Recruitment for four positions in the last few months and I have always found Jackie to be pleasant, helpful and sensitive to our needs. Rural Recruitment has found an impressive list of candidates for our posts.
Mr & Mrs T – Bures, Suffolk
“We had not used Rural Recruitment previously but they came recommended by a friend in the same line of work as us (Insurance and Financial Services). We were really impressed at how quickly Georgie and Jackie got to work and lined up interviewees for us to meet. Communication was great throughout and within a month of placing the advert we had a new employee in post who had exactly the skills and experience we were looking for”.
J B – NFU – Norfolk
I first came across Jackie at Rural Recruitment when I was searching the internet for a suitable job description to plagiarise for an ad I was going to place myself. I subsequently spoke to Jackie and, how glad am I that I picked up the phone. After just a few moments talking to Jackie she had picked up my requirements and probably, with hindsight, knew the sort of person I wanted better than I. I placed the job with her and in no time she had sent a couple of candidates through to me. Within a week or so, having discussed the candidates on the phone between ourselves we had a shortlist and two were invited for interview. The second was engaged and has now been working successfully for six weeks; I am very pleased. Jackie knew my requirements, and most importantly satisfied them, in a pleasant and efficient manner. I would have no hesitation in using her services again.

I recently contacted Rural Recruitment to apply for a job I had seen advertised , however this position had been filled. Jackie took the time to contact me and discuss in details what I was looking for.
A day later Jackie contacted me again with a position she thought would be perfect and contacted the employer to discuss my cv.
Tow days later I had an interview. I was offered the position.
Rural Recruitment take the time to help you through every step and check in throughout your employment. I would highly recommend.

We are delighted to recommend Rural Recruitment to help anyone looking for staff to help them out in a variety of roles. They are great at helping you define what it is you are looking for, and then finding the right person for that role, simplifying the process.

Dear Jackie
When my Father’s much adored, long standing, completely unsurpassable Carer/companion returned to Poland, we really feared for our very vulnerable, blind, elderly father’s future care. We didn’t want a rota of agency carers passing through and so turned to you. You introduced us, as if by divine providence, to the most outstanding, kind, thoughtful, vigilant and utterly professional couple. We cannot thank you enough for this extraordinary pair, who are both joyful and compassionate. It is honestly the greatest relief to know he is so secure and happy. And too, that communication between us all is solid, easygoing, transparent and confidence giving to my Father and the whole family. You performed a miracle!
Warmest wishes and thanks,
Katharine – Suffolk
“Jackie and Rebecca are magicians! We were in a very difficult spot needing a full time housekeeper on very short notice after our long term housekeeper needed to move home. The team not only found us local housekeeper in 30 days but someone who exceeded all our expectations including having a back ground in childcare. I’d highly recommend Jackie and Rebecca to anyone!”
Thank you again!

Nothing seems to much for her and she always has a smile on her face…such a joy.

All our team felt in very good hands and that we could relax safe in the knowledge that the best job possible was being done. Rebecca was always looking out for us with her wealth of experience to make sure that we considered all aspects. We ended up with the dream team and avoided some potential pitfalls. We could not be happier with the result.

I stumbled across Rural Recruitment when asked to give a reference and from the moment I contacted Jackie to the successful placement of two candidates, I have been nothing but impressed. Their attention to detail and ability to listen and truly understand a given brief put them beyond most recruiters across many industries. I would not hesitate in using them again and have already recommended them elsewhere. The candidates presented were of excellent calibre and we are truly thrilled.

I contacted Rural Recruitment in the summer of 2018 enquiring about jobs in the equine industry. Rebecca was extremely helpful and was very efficient in sending me through a couple of local groom/rider positions that matched my requirements, she kept me regularly updated regarding interviews and feedback. I found Rural Recruitment very helpful and supportive even after I started work. As a result I am now working at a lovely, local point to point yard with a great team and thoroughly enjoy my job.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for employment.
Chloe W
Having used Rural Recruitment to find myself a new position I wanted to say how efficient and professional they were in finding me employment.
Rebecca contacted me within hours of applying for a post and followed this up with a face to face meeting to discuss my requirements and expectations and to let me know what was available in my area, how far or long I was prepared to travel etc.
The meeting was informal and pleasant and a good way to get to know each other. After arranging an interview with new prospective employers within a few days, I am now settled into my new job and have been working for my employer for almost a year.
This has been followed up with emails and phone calls to see how I felt things were progressing and to check I am still happy and settled.
I would thoroughly recommend using Rural Recruitment to anyone looking to find employment including friends and family. They really do go that extra country mile.
