Whilst at Lufthansa Technik I successfully worked with Butler Ross on a number of Procurement & Supply Chain vacancies. Often roles were urgently needed or had been live for some time and we had already been through a number of agencies who had found us candidates but very few had hit the mark in terms of what we required for this position.Due to the nature and responsibilities the roles often had we required particular candidates and very strong skills.

From this they had a good grasp of what was required, and I would always receive a shortlist who matched the requirements we had. Throughout the recruitment processes the Butler Ross consultants were professional at all times, given feedback in a timely fashion after each candidate has interviewed with us and has controlled the process in a well-structured fashion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Butler Ross to any organisation looking to fill specialist procurement and supply chain positions.

Butler Ross assisted me in sourcing the final members of the procurement team, following a major restructure. We discussed the types of people who I was looking for, to complete the team. Whilst not getting it quite right first time the teams persistence paid off, having delved deeper into our requirements via phone calls and emails, Eventually teasing out a very precise person specification, which then led to a 'perfect CV' being presented.

I am writing with regards to the agency Butler Ross who I had the good fortune of working with during my time as Account Manager at Capita Resourcing. I hadn’t worked with Butler Ross previously, however our Supply Chain Manager was extremely positive regarding their contribution. Casting a fresh pair of eyes over the account and building new relationships with the existing supply chain did nothing to prevent Butler Ross re-establishing themselves as a key supplier and the first point of call for interim procurement requirements. Butler Ross could be relied upon to fill the difficult, niche roles, demonstrating a level of customer service far in excess of their competitors. In addition to the day to day recruitment, Butler Ross also demonstrated a collaborative approach to their relationship with both Capita and our clients and would always support requests for information and new initiatives. Simply put, Butler Ross is an important recruitment partner as opposed to a supplier and I have recommended them to other accounts within the business on the basis of their proven track record. Finally, the team at Butler Ross are always extremely enthusiastic and professional, and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
