Myles was and is fantastic, even though I did not end up choosing to pursue a role with Crux at this time, he was responsive, helpful, encouraging and everything a recruiter should be when speaking with candidates. I'd highly recommend him and Crux to employers looking for candidates and vice versa for service and professionalism.

I’ve recently found myself at risk of being made redundant from my current job role so I added my CV to CV library. The very next morning I received a call from Myles White at Crux careers wanting to discuss my situation as he had some potential opportunities for me. Myles was polite and very professional. He manage to secure me a couple of interviews and although I ultimately didn’t secure a job from these interviews I am confident that if I was still looking Myles would have helped find me a job. Would certainly recommend crux and Myles to anyone who needs help with finding a job

From the first call I made to Crux Careers Lorenzo was very professional. He understood the position I needed to fill and I suggested potential candidates straight away. Within 48 hours an interview had taken place and I had a new member of staff. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Excellent service from Lorenzo, he was really efficient and friendly. I will highly recommend Crux Careers, especially Lorenzo. He was very informative and kept me updated throughout the entire application process.

First class experience. During a period of 6 months, and a big lifestyle change for myself and my family, I approached Myles due to the way he had approached me, professionally and personally on previous discussions before I actually needed him. During a busy period of house hunting and a relocation, I needed someone I could trust to find me a role suitable to my move and crucially in time for moving. I actually never used another recruiter during my job search other than doing it myself because Myles understood, which is key, exactly the role that would suit me and my skills and I had the fullest of confidence and trust that he would place me in my next role. He did exactly that! Always approachable, tenacious to search on your behalf and very personable. I cannot recommend him personally and also the Crux team enough. Myles and the team are experts within the property field and if you are not using them as a candidate or employer, ask yourself why! Thanks Myles , keep in touch.

Really great experience working with Crux Careers. Thank you so much Lorenzo with helping me find my new job! Helped me throughout the process. And pushed to help me get the right job for me. Kept me undated though the whole process. Would definitely recommend to any others to expand their job search.

Trying to deal with these agents is impossible. I’m a landlord at a flat on the ground floor below a flat they are agents too. They have had a major leak in the flat they are agents too and basically told me they are getting a humidifier . What a joke. My tenant says the ceiling is about to collapse as in the pics attached and Julie at John Shepherd tells me the issue is fixed. No urgency what so ever on behalf of their tenants . The plumber they used used 3 different explanations for the leak and none of them are accurate. If this is how they respond in emergency’s they are not proper agents and show absolute no duty of care to their tenants and to the other people they are affecting .NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We recently viewed a property that is for sale through John Shepherd. We were welcomed by Natasha, who was very professional, kind and supportive. Her professionalism and understading was very reassuring for us. We highly recommend this estate agent for your search too.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We’ve had excellent and professional service from Rickie Westwood at John Shepherd. From finding a property to being completely sorted in less than a week. Rickie was extremely responsive and helpful, answering our questions and resolving any issues. Also, the system that John Shepherd uses to check references and process the tenancy agreement is very efficient (including ability to do e signatures). The whole process was seamless. We can’t recommend them highly enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

If I were a prospective tenant, I would avoid. They are currently trying to withhold part of my disabled brother’s rental deposit for such grievous offences as leaving a half-full container of Shake ‘N Vac behind, and allegedly stealing a fridge magnet that was never there in the first place! Quite how he prised the non-existent magnet free, Heaven only knows, as he has no grip following a massive stroke. Apparently, he also managed to dirty the inside of an oven without him or his carers ever opening the door. I wonder how many other desperately vulnerable people have had a similar experience in the private rental sector? It certainly damages one’s faith in human nature. UPDATE: We did not take the case to tribunal because of my brother’s failing health - we want the time he has left to be as stress free as possible. So they got away with it. I really don’t know how these people sleep at night.
