Testimonials

​We have been experiencing a rapidly growing headcount and we are glad to have Humankind supporting our recruitment. It’s been a pleasure to work with Kellie during the last months, she’s been able to adapt to our constantly changing requirements and willing to adjust her approach as needed. We are used to receiving great feedback on Kellie’s overall professionalism and quality of CVs from Hiring Managers. Looking forward to continuing our partnership with Humankind!

​Working with Kellie and HumanKind to secure a new position was truly the best experience I have had working with a recruitment firm. Kellie was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my personality, career history and future aspirations to determine what would be a good fit. I felt well informed and supported during every stage of the process, as she was communicative and highly responsive. Additionally, her genuine nature made it easy to reach out if clarification was needed. I would definitely recommend working with Kellie and HumanKind Recruitment as their service exemplifies quality, efficiency and care. 

​My experience with Kellie Burgess and Humankind was so efficient, the entire process was practically seamless. Kellie’s expertise and guidance helped me secure a full-time, permanent position in a role that aligns with my skillset and offers a healthy work/life balance. Kellie was incredibly clear and as transparent as she possibly could be in her communication, and was also very responsive when I had any questions. Our family is forever grateful for all of Kellie’s efforts. She really puts the ‘human’ and ‘kind’ in Humankind.

Adam was amazing to work with during my job search. He really took the time to understand my career goals and matched me with the perfect role, which I truly enjoy! His communication was always clear and timely, making the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive recruiter. Thank you Adam!

​I recently secured a new role through Humankind and found Adam to be excellent throughout the recruitment process. Adam provided insightful advice and guidance as I prepared for the interviews and he kept me updated at every stage. Even after starting my new role, Adam continued to keep in contact to see how I was settling in, demonstrating how he genuinely cared about finding the right role for me. In terms of my experience with recruiters, I found Adam to be above and beyond with his service and I’d highly recommend reaching out to him and Humankind if you’re looking for a new role.

​Working with Humankind was a game-changer for us. Andy understood exactly what we needed in an SEO team member and delivered spot-on candidates in record time. The whole process was seamless, from our initial requirements discussion to constant updates on available candidates. Couldn't have asked for a more organized and effective service. Highly recommended!

​It's very rare that you meet a recruitment agent that is friendly, attentive and doesn't try to put you in a box.Not only didAdammake the transition into my new position seamless, he has kept in contact and ensured that I have settled in and remained professional as well as courteous through out the process. I wish all recruiters worked in this way. In 19 years, this is the first time I've recommended a recruiter. Which says it all.Keep up the good work and never lose your edge.

​Having dealt with Humankind on both permanent and freelance roles I have come to know the team well. They are extremely helpful, knowledgable and more than willing to work with you in order to become more appealing for a role. Something which I personally find very helpful.They are always available to contact (something that can be difficult with other recruiters) and I truly believe they have their clients best interest at heart.

​Looked after very well! Being new to the Freelance setup, Humankind made me feel very relaxed and comfortable with this new approach to earning. They are very patient and informative which was definitely needed during this transitional period. Nothing was ever a problem. I regularly got work and interviews from their proactive and genuine staff. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for myself and my confidence. Great work and highly recommended.

​10/10, I have nothing but nice things to say about Humankind! I was originally contacted by a gentleman called Michael who put me forward for a role that was such a great fit for me. He then passed my details onto the director for marketing recruitment, Andy and I dealt with him for the rest of my experience with Humankind. Andy was amazing, attentive, supportive, constantly checking in and got back to me so quickly on the days that he was busy in meetings. I didn't get the first job I was put forward for and at a point where I thought perhaps that might be it, Andy put me forward for another role and was a great comfort to me when I didn't get the first role. Thankfully, with the help and guidance of Andy and his belief that he had put me forward for a role that was great for me, I got the job!Job hunting is as most people know, long, tedious and often very disheartening, especially when you feel you are doing everything right and have the experience to match an equally as enthusiastic personality. Andy helped me overcome those trying times and I really felt like he was the most attentive, funny and optimistic recruiter I have EVER worked with and I have dealt with a lot in Manchester. Anyone who is looking for a role in the North West area I strongly recommend Humankind and really can't praise them enough! Fantastic team and genuinely really lovely people who get the job done!

​I had the pleasure of commissioning Humankind to place the majority of my external hires for intermediate and senior-level positions on my team this year, and can say without hesitation that they deliver on a different level to other recruitment firms I’ve worked with in the past. They were involved on every level of the assignments and especially took great care in the early “discovery” phase to ensure that they understood on a deep level what we needed before recommending an initial round of candidates. This wasn’t a simple, “read the JD – start scraping LinkedIn” type firm. They had great questions, and it showed in the results as high-qualified and engaged candidates started appearing in my inbox very soon after our initial calls. I still count the team members they helped place amongst our most successful people, and I eagerly go to them first with conversations about new roles.​

​This team has brought us great candidates for numerous roles over the past 2 years. They are our go-to recruitment experts, we trust them without exception and they reduce the pressure off our hiring managers and HR teams, which we really need. They go above and beyond, to understand our company values, the JDs fine details and finding great matches for us in the market.

I have worked with Chris for the last year to recruit for 3 of my teams. Each time he has been a pleasure to work with, but more importantly, he has found us great candidates. Not only have they had the right skill sets, but they have also been the right cultural fit for our organization. He is extremely responsive and communicates updates without prompting. I would not hesitate to provide Chris with future mandates and have full confidence he can find the people we need.

I recently secured a new role with help from Andy. Andy was great throughout every stage of the recruitment process, he was always on hand to offer advice and talk things through. This gave me a much smoother and more personal experience than I’ve had with recruiters in the past, so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone looking for a new role in the marketing space.​​
