I have had the pleasure of working with Gen Callum Associates for over 20 years, and I can confidently say that their support and professionalism have been exceptional throughout.

It was Glen Callum Associates that helped me secure my first position nearly two decades ago, and I remain grateful for the role they played at the very start of my journey with the company. Over the years, they have consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of both candidate and client needs, always approaching their work with integrity, reliability, and a personal touch that sets them apart in the industry.

I truly value the longstanding relationship I have built with their team, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a dedicated and trustworthy recruitment partner.

Phil Parkes – UK Head of Sales – Kent (UK) Ltd

Thank you for lifting the weight off my shoulders Glen. You came in and immediately gave me a whole load of CV’s to start looking through, after a final shortlist of 3 I was spoilt for choice, it was a tough decision as all three could do a great job Finding good people is difficult and you made that super easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to call you again. You did a great job!
Steve Jarnett – Director of Sales – Corteco

I found Kayleigh to be a thorough professional and very experienced. She was very client oriented and adjusted to every change to job descriptions. Being a detail-oriented person , she not only found the right candidate who matched the job description professionally but also was a perfect fit on personal level.
Christina – Finance Manager – Aftermarket Technology Business

We have used Kayleigh for many years & she has rarely failed to find us exactly the right person for the job we’re filling. Sometimes we don’t make it easy for her as we cast our net wide in the jobs market to satisfy our own curiosity but time and again, especially compared to other very ‘slapdash, put 2+2 together and I make my commission’ agents, Kayleigh stands out as she’s really taken time to know us as a company, and take time to really establish if the candidate really will be a good fit for us before proposing them which in a sea of CV and agents is very refreshing.
Erika Bultitude – Director – Battery Distributor

Hi Rob, Our experience was a good one working with yourselves, quite refreshing compared to many recruitment companies that essentially throw anything and everything over the wall without thought or consideration to the real business needs and people concerned.
Managing Director, UK Spring Manufacturer

I have worked with GCA for some time now, the professionalism shown has been second to none. GCA listens to our requirements and is committed to finding a suitable candidate. I have been delighted with all aspects of the service provided and I would have no hesitation in recommending Glen Callum Associates.
Sian, HR Manager, Major Motor Factor Group

This was our first experience of using a specialist automotive recruitment agency. We think you did very well… but we have no benchmark to compare against. Your competitors may be doing much better…  if they are I’m not sure how!!
For me the process was excellent with very strong communication happening at all stages. I certainly felt involved, ultimately responsible but that a guiding hand was always there to help, steer, remind and organise as necessary.
Glen was always professional, provided plenty of information on each candidate and I felt (despite a lack of clear coherent info from me) got a very good handle on the sort of person we were looking for. He then went on to provide candidates who were above and below this ‘ideal’. It gave us confidence in what was out there and what you get for your money. Sure, we ultimately made our own choice but I certainly do not feel we would have been able to find these excellent candidates without Glen’s help.
We had a sort of ‘no show’ and Glen was on the case straightaway making certain we understood why and apologising.
You exceeded my expectations.
Thankyou.
Glenn Mason, Managing Director, Leading UK Aftermarket Buying Group

We have been using Glen Callum Associates for many years now as a company and they have great market knowledge to help find people in the Automotive industry to help match job descriptions and experience required. Our latest recruitment they managed to find 3 new candidates who all started at the beginning of this year and are proving to be the right choice. Rob’s communication is brilliant, and he lets you know every step of the way along with making sure the candidates are well prepped and kept in the loop every step of the way. He is very easy to speak to and very fast with responses and any questions that may arise whether it be from myself or communicated through the candidate. This is a bonus on top of having a good level of candidates that are well matched to the job description. Rob will always make sure he has got as much information needed to meet your needs which is why he is so pleasant to work with.

Marc Wise, Sales Director, Shaftec

I can’t recommend Glen Callum Associates and in particular Kayleigh highly enough. They’ve been instrumental in helping me build a strong, capable team – sourcing the right people across all areas of the business including Managers, Administration, Customer Service, Finance, and specialist foreign language speakers.

What sets Glen Callum apart is the level of support they offer throughout the recruitment process. From understanding our needs to assisting with interviews, I see them as a business partner, not as a supplier. Their dedication, professionalism, and ability to consistently deliver the right talent have made them my go-to recruitment company – and their support has been integral to the growth and success of my business.

Nigel McDonald, MD, NiMAC Ltd

Having had experiences of other agencies when recruiting and when job seeking I can say without any hesitation that Glen Callum are the most conscientious, thorough, knowledgeable about the industry and definitely the most professional.
So thank you once again for your excellent service
