Candidate Testimonials

Joe is a friendly and trustworthy individual who took the time to really understand what I was looking for and find new opportunities that fit me best. I highly recommend connecting with Joe and seeing what he can offer you.
– Dan Vickers, Sales Engineer at SensoPart UK Ltd

Joe is a great recruiter, very open and kept me well informed throughout the recruitment process. Offered good support once I got the job. I would recommend!
– Stuart Keeble, Sales Engineer at SensoPart UK Ltd

Joe came to me with an opportunity at a stage in my career where I was in a big dilemma, I was truly torn in regards to what I should do, and he was absolutely remarkable in helping me through it all. He was very patient with me, took a lot of time to speak to me and give me advice over numerous phone calls, as well as allow me the time I clearly needed to make a very, very important decision. Joe was instrumental with his help, advice, and support on how I tackled both my current work situation and the discussions with my potential new managers, he came through on everything he suggested or promised, and to top it all off he negotiated a superb package for me. I have never developed such an amazing relationship with any recruiters ever before, which is true testament to Joe’s approach, attitude, and demeanour. I am not exaggerating when I say this – Joe is the Jerry Maguire of the recruitment world.
– Michael Sachpekidis, New Business Development Manager (Automation Systems) at Lenze UK Ltd

I have worked with Joe on and off over many years and have always found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the automation industry and of industry requirements. Most recently he helped to find my current position, which, one year on, is proving to be a good fit. I have no doubt that Joe will be a success in whatever his next role turns out to be. A thoroughly professional character.
– Keith Atkinson, Automation Sales Engineer at Weidmuller UK Ltd

I have found Joe to be the consummate professional on both occasions where he has helped me further my career. He is honest, straight forward and is not afraid of dealing with the finer details of his work, whilst also being very professional in the way he goes about his work in supporting his candidates and satisfying the requirements of his clients. Personally I would recommend Joe extremely highly both as an employer and as a candidate.
– Les Young, Managing Director at Astute Machinery Consultants Ltd

Joe is very helpful and proactive, doesn’t waste your time with opportunities irrelevant to your criteria and technical skills. Joe is approachable and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended and would work with again. Thanks again for your help.
– Esmay Moyo, Automation Engineer at Celesio UK

I have dealt with Joe, over a number of years. He would know what sort of jobs I was looking for and those that were of interest with me, he would never send me for jobs for the sake of it. He knew his client base extremely well, as well as potential candidates. I would highly recommend Joe, as a talented and highly professional recruiter. Joe was the type of guy if I was offered potential job offers from other recruitment companies would be prepared to talk through the offering with me and offer his professional advice which I took, and he was rarely wrong. Whoever, employs Joe is getting a professional and talented go-getting recruiter. If Joe was to go down the route of changing careers, I know he would make a huge success of whatever, he turns his hand to.
– Mark Bambrick, Sales Director at MRGH

I’ve crossed paths with Joe a several occasions. Joe isn’t like any other recruitment people, he doesn’t use you as cannon fodder and fire you at everything, suitable or not. He works with you and with his clients to find you the right job and them the right candidates. Joe coached me and took the time to get to know me. Eventually, he placed me and I am very grateful for his efforts. I’ve needed to use recruiters on several occasions and I find it like buying a car, a necessary evil. If you’re looking for a forever job or looking for a decent member of staff to join your team, ask Joe to help, you won’t regret it.
– Mark Turner, BDM at Regina Chain Ltd

Having known Joe for a number of years I can honestly say that both he and Affinity Search have always provided a thorough, professional & honest approach & helped me in seeking new employment opportunities and have always come up with the goods in times of need. An absolute pleasure to deal with and well recommended.
– Ian Bullock, Sales Channel Manager at Draeger Safety UK Ltd

Joe Foster is one of the top practitioners in his field. Always professional and thoughtful, with great advice and care for his clients. Always keeps you updated with progress, unlike some I could mention and comes highly recommended from me.
– Mike Herbage, BDM at Luxonic Lighting

I recently found myself in the unfortunate position of redundancy, in my search of new work I was recommended to Joe. So many times recommendations are empty words spoken by people, however Joe definitely proved true to the recommendation and therefore I would have no hesitation in making the same recommendation! Right from the start Joe was professional at all times, informative and consistent in his approach and always keeping me updated and successfully placing me in a new role with Eldon Electric. Little touches like the Congratulations card, follow up calls etc following the job placement all made the experience seamless and stress free. Thanks Joe, I hope I won’t need to, but if the situation arises in the future I will definitely give you a call.
