People saying nice things.

Everything is going great so far, I’m super happy! I’ve just arrived back from my first event in America which was a success! We hit our target and I got on stage and moderated which was fun! Thanks for all your help once again with everything!

Candidate, Conference Producer

Helen has successfully delivered candidates across marketing, operations and conference production and she has recruited within these jobs at all levels from graduates to senior managers. She works tirelessly to keep us informed and updated on progress and if Helen is finding it difficult to find the right candidates she lets us know but keeps going! Thank you!

Client, Head of Content - Global Media & Events

After having my children I wanted & needed to return to work. I was looking for a full-time job which worked alongside my children, I didn’t want to compromise on my career progression and could not afford to take a low salary. After 2 wrong job moves with lovely companies (who talked about having flexible working but in practice they didn’t have the support structures or experience to accommodate it) I thought it was going to be an impossible task! I was recommended to talk to Helen at Jackson Barnes who is a mum herself and she worked hard to find me the right role, in the right company with a rewarding salary. I have recently secured a senior job in conference production working for a great global company who embrace flexible working for ALL employees. Through a blend of working from home and in the office plus having flexible (and changeable!) start and finish times I get my job done very well alongside being a mum. I think great technology, understanding, the right internal support structure and a positive & trusting attitude from the business help make flexible working successful here. Helen you have a great knack for really getting to know your candidates and delivery on their needs and wants.

Candidate, Manager - Conference Production

Thanks for coming along to our event today Helen, we value the time and interest you show not just in supporting us with our recruitment but also attending our events and meeting our people. I hope you enjoyed the day and developed your understanding of what our events are about. Great to see you again!

Client, MD, Media & Events business

Helen was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole recruitment process. She evidently has strong industry connections and was able to find me interviews at incredible companies. Helen was always available to talk through interview preparation and always gave insight and advice on the next steps, making the whole recruitment process a great learning experience.

Graduate, Conference Producer

Now four months in, I’m loving the experience – the job itself is great and not only do I live in a gorgeous flat with a swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym, but it’s dead easy to travel around South East Asia. I can have weekend breaks in so many places that would have been inaccessible from home: already, I’ve been to or have booked trips to Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket, Bangkok, Java, Bali, Laos, Myanmar and Taiwan, and I’m hoping to add to that list quickly. Thanks so much Helen for all your help in getting me this job!

Candidate, Conference Producer

When considering your next role, it’s essential to work with a recruitment partner who understand the industry, support your objectives and genuinely want to help you achieve them. Jackson Barnes Recruitment have helped me secure interviews and roles with leading companies in the events space, by matching my expertise perfectly with their clients requirements. Working with Helen at JB recruitment is truly an outstanding experience and it’s a relationship I hope to continue for the foreseeable future, as my trusted career advisors.

Nick, Conference Producer

When I arrived at my group interview, I knew exactly what to expect from how to get in the building to the activities we would be participating in. Helen made sure I was informed, I felt really confident and excited to get going. Jackson Barnes Recruitment has 3 candidates in the group interview, we were all prepared and it was noticeable some of the other attendees had not been given the same advice as to what to expect and they didn’t look as confident and comfortable. We were much more prepared and as such, we got a lot more out of the session because of this

Kate, Conference Producer

If you’re looking for a new opportunity in the events world Helen is your woman. I have never met or dealt with a more professional and wonderful recruiter. Helen really cares about you, and where you are going to go. She works hard to find you the right fit and is always on the other end of the phone with reassurance, or any advice (even if you’re not currently working with her.) Just a lovely person to work with. I would 100% recommend her!

Candidate,

The company are amazing, I just passed my probation! Honestly the job of my dreams, couldn’t ask to work with better people! It’s such a happy, positive environment and even when it’s challenging the support is amazing! Travelling to The US next month for my first event too I can’t wait! Thanks so much for everything!

Candidate,
