What our customers say

We have worked in partnership with Escape Recruitment Services to support our temporary and permanent labour requirements, and have been consistently impressed with the level of service provided.


Escape have demonstrated a highly responsive approach, often reacting quickly to fluctuating production demands and short lead times, ensuring we have the right level of support in place when required. Their understanding of our operation and ability to adapt to our needs has been a key strength.


The onboarding process has been smooth and well-managed, with workers arriving well-prepared ...

I’ve worked with Shuna to hire a few roles within the business and she’s always on the other end of the phone – even when we’ve changed our minds a few times. Always positive and likes to understand the business and what would fit with us. As a result, we’ve ended up with some great candidates and ultimately good people working with us!

Charlie is an invaluable asset during the recruitment process for us, helping to ensure we attracted the right candidates regardless of role.


Charlie was supportive of the candidates, before during and after they were given permanent contracts. Always maintaining open lines of communication with the team members and us as HR team, throughout the whole recruitment process.


While we moved from permanent to temporary contracts Charlie was also crucial ensuring this change was seamless and ensuring the candidates and CVs were still flowing into our hiring managers.


Lastly, on a more personal level, Charlie is super approachable, always willing to help and have a good catch up. I know she’ll be there when w...

I would like to take this opportunity and thank your company, especially yourself, for all your help and support. Thanks to your thorough research, brilliant communication, and patience, we were able to employ valuable candidates who are now a great addition to our business.


We really appreciate your efficiency, and we hope to continue our successful cooperation.

I wanted to get in touch, to say how amazing Linda was with me throughout the process...


Linda showed a real sense of kindness, compassion and encouragement to me...


If you offer your team incentives, or reward them for going the extra mile, I would appreciate it if you considered Linda for this, as she was first class.


I had a great experience working with Nick during my job search. He was clear, approachable, and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. Nick took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me secure a role that I’m really happy with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. 


I want to put this in writing about my recent experience dealing with Nick Crawford.




I can only say 10 out of 10, Nick took the time to look out relevant job opportunities that match my previous experience and my CV.




He also managed to get me the opportunity of 2 interviews, spoke to me in-depth about the positions and shifts, and was always available if I had any questions.




Kept in touch really well during interview process.




Can't thank Nick enough for all his time and effort.




Shuna is very knowledgeable about the recruitment market, and works professionally with candidates to find right fit for the clients. I have had a great experience working with her and appreciated her professionalism and support throughout the process. Thank you, Shuna.

I have worked very well with Natalia, she is very attentive and has been a great communicator, anything I have asked for she has gotten back to me quickly and effectively. She is very helpful and I feel puts great effort into her job, I enjoy working alongside her to support my business needs!

Escape Recruitment has been nothing but helpful to the business in recent months and we cannot thank them enough. After a short visit to our facility, the Escape team were able to take away a portfolio of office and shop floor core manufacturing positions we needed to fill urgently and delivered on their promise to get the right candidates in front of us within days.


I recognise that this quick turnaround of candidates who all matched my portfolio requests has helped the company continue operations and minimised the impact that would have been felt had we not used Escape.


In addition, I found the Escape teams honesty quite helpful and refreshing, not just with the financials, guidance on new market salary expectations...

Having successfully filled a variety of vacancies across our business, including but not limited to positions within our engineering, production, quality and senior management teams, we now consider Escape to be one of our main suppliers for recruitment services across our business. We have found the team at Escape Recruitment to be highly knowledgeable about our industry and the candidates they introduce to our business are of a high quality and know what to expect in terms of interview and the role they are applying.

When working with Escape, I found them to have an excellent understanding of our business and industry. They were very much aware of the challenges that can be faced when hiring, and put forward quality candidates that were an excellent fit for our business both technically and culturally. They managed the recruitment process in a professional and well organised manner, and simplified the whole experience for us. The...

Escape made my recent search for a Procurement Manager amazingly easy; Shuna was there to support and guide every step of the way, which meant that I could get on with my day to day knowing that everything that needed done was covered.  Brilliant job!

From my first conversation with Nick, he was very informative regarding Highland Spring, their ethos, their market position and where the role fitted in with the structure. He pointed out the specific cultural changes they were trying to implement and at what stage they were in their journey. This communication began during an initial telephone call and was further expanded upon during a follow up face to face meeting. Pre-interview briefing notes were comprehensive and a well thought out introduction to the company. It allowed me to gear my further research into key areas and left me feeling really confident I knew enough about the company in order to formulate clearly just why I wanted to join their high performing team.

Escape Recruitment Services has provided me with an exemplary level of service [since 2012] as one of Heineken’s key preferred temporary recruitment suppliers.


Linda is very quick to respond, provides great support, and excellent in delivering our resource demand when we need it. Linda has delivered on some key temporary recruitment campaigns for us over the years as a business in particular for our Customer Contact Centre in Livingston (Sales Advisors), IT Service Desk (Edinburgh), Brewery site in Tadcaster (Sales Support Executives) and London (Front of House Executives) where she has sourced credible candidates that match the spec and budget requirements resulting in many temp to perm contracts being offered and us ret...

Charlotte is always well presented, polite, full of passion for what she does and very professional in how she has approached the selection and placement of the temporary staff and how she has helped me with trying to find suitable candidates for the new roles we are looking into. 


It is a pleasure to work with her and I am sure we as a business will continue to enjoy the excellent working relationship we have with Escape as long as there are such good people within your team.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very professional and there to help when you need it!


I want to thank you for your help in finding a job when I really needed it. Previously, when I applied to the Job Centre, it did not bring any results, and I was lucky to find your agency.




You have always been in touch with me and ready to solve all kinds of questions about work, and even helped me find people who could take me there.




I'm happy because after three months of working through your agency, I finally got a contract at a company.




It was a pleasure to work with a person like you who does their job professionally and is always ready to help!


I found myself in need of a new job recently after my previous company announced redundancies. Andrew at Escape Recruitment reached out and helped to place me in a role that I was very excited about. He really listened to what I was looking for in my next position, and was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Andrew really went the extra mile to make sure I was well prepared, and everything went smoothly - even when the hiring manager was going on holiday Andrew was making calls at 9pm! I really appreciate all the help, and will not hesitate to recommend Escape Recruitment to anyone in the future.


Hi Shuna,




I hope this email finds you well. Just wanted to let you know that I am now settled here at Aggreko. I have fit perfectly into the team. Both managers and team members are happy to have me as a member of team. This place is truly a perfect fit for me.




I just wanted to thank you again for finding this vacancy for me. It truly changed my life. I hope you'll have wonderful Christmas.




Best regards,




Peter 


Excellent service from Natalia at Escape.


Natalia is very professional, understanding, and the communication we receive is first class.


Natalia is always willing to go that extra bit to ensure we have the staffing requirements we need


Would highly recommend.

[I] would like to share my positive experience with Eescape Recruitment Agency. In September 2023, I began my MSc in Data Science and Engineering at Dundee University. Coming from Afghanistan, I found adjusting to the new culture quite challenging. Among the many difficulties, finding a job and adapting to a new work environment was particularly tough.


Fortunately, I secured a part-time position with Escape Recruitment Services, under the supervision of Natalia Makowska. Working with Natalia has been one of the best experiences of my life. She has taught me a great deal, not only about the job but also about the role of a supervisor. Natalia's kindness, cooperation, and support have completely changed my perspective on what a s...

Working with Shuna was an absolute game-changer in my job search journey. Her expertise, dedication, and support were instrumental in helping me find my forever job. From CV advice to honing my interview skills, Shuna's guidance was invaluable every step of the way. Thanks to her, I have found a job that aligns perfectly with my skills and aspirations. I can't recommend Shuna highly enough for anyone seeking career guidance and support.

I have had the pleasure of working with Escape Recruitment for over a year now, and I can confidently say that this agency is outstanding in every aspect. From the moment I applied, the entire process was seamless and straightforward. I was able to start working the same week I submitted my application, which was incredibly efficient and stress-free.


One of the highlights of my experience has been working with Natalia. She is not only lovely and friendly but also incredibly approachable and always available when contacted. Natalia went above and beyond to ensure that I had jobs to do every week, especially when I was still a student. Her dedication and commitment to supporting me have been truly exceptional.


The staff...

Natalie is absolutely amazing at what she does, great at keeping in contact, unreal at finding opportunities extremely quickly and providing all the relevant information regarding these roles - best recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with - 10/10 service and I would recommend Natalie to anyone seeking a new role, if there's a role available that would suit you, Natalie will find it!


My experience with Escape and particularly Natalie in this instance has been first class.

From the initial Teams call, talking through the role and what we required for a role we had been trying to fill for a number of months, I always had the impression that with the enthusiasm and passion coming through we had a chance to find a candidate.

Natalie’s attitude from putting candidates in front of us, following up for feedback and delivering on the brief was first class.

Through my experience of working with Escape through Natalie I would recommend them for all your recruitment needs
Working with Escape to secure a new role has been a great experience. From the initial chat right through to accepting my new role, the process was seamless. Charlie took the time to build a thorough understanding of my history and skillset, and really dig in to what I was looking for in my next role. Stuart then expertly guided me through the application process, making sure I had all the tools available to me to feel fully prepared at every stage. His support has been first class, I can’t recommend him and Escape enough
I am delighted to share my positive experience with Escape. Natalia and team have consistently delivered outstanding service and support.


From the outset, Natalia has impressed with her professionalism and expertise. She understands our unique needs and provides a tailored solutions that perfectly aligns with our goals.


Natalia at Escape is not only highly skilled but also incredibly responsive and reliable, she has always been available to address any questions or concerns which we may have.


I highly recommend E...

Nick was amazing to work with. They really took the time to understand what I was looking for and found a role that fits me perfectly. The whole process felt way less stressful thanks to their support and clear communication. They gave great advice, kept me in the loop the entire time, and honestly just made everything easier. Super grateful for their help—I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for their next opportunity.
