“I wish to confirm that Alex Harp Recruitment found me two jobs. Firstly in Newcastle with engineering company where I worked as a Timber Design Engineer. The second position was in Cork with another engineering company, where I am currently working as a Structural Engineer.

Alex Harp was very professional and friendly. All the time I was informed without delay what was happening. They also looked after my accommodation in Newcastle and in Cork, all my interviews were arranged and they gave me a lot of preparation and advice on how I should approach the interview. I feel that all the preparation was extremely important when it came to my interview, especially as I am Polish. I always felt very comfortable going into my interview.

In my opinion Alex Harp are very trustworthy and I would recommend them to anyone. I have never worked with such a professional company before, even in my home country of Poland. I am delighted that I got the opportunity to work with them. I can now give once piece of advice to anyone who is looking for a new job, send your CV to Alex Harp. You can sleep well knowing that they really work hard for you and want to help you find that ideal job.”

“My wife and I were living in Germany and we planned to move to Dublin. Not more than 24 hours after I sent my CV to several recruitment agencies I had received a phone call from Alex Harp. Within two months we were already in Dublin. I got a job as a Structural Engineer with an engineering company in Cork. It was exactly the position I was looking for. I am working on very interesting projects and I can develop my previous experience.”

“Alex Harp found me the perfect job. I mean not only a place where you earn money. I wanted to start my first job in Ireland with a good company, friendly people, and good money and finally my expectations became reality. I live and work in my most favourite of all Irish cities. Moving from Poland to Ireland was a big challenge to our family. It was very hard to make this decision. Alex Harp and its staff made it easier. My consultant was very friendly, helpful and professional. He understood all my expectations and needs. I was guided through this unusual situation. I recommend Alex Harp’s serviced to all who are looking for a job outside their countries.”

Tomasz, Poland, Architect, Cork

“Alex Harp contacted me prior to my arrival to Dublin, which had a very positive effect on me as I have never worked aboard and was travelling full of illusions. I was surprised how quickly they organised interviews for me with very prestigious architectural firms. Also, they truly listened to me about my interests and expectations in order to get me a position within a company of my preference.

I appreciate all the assistance in relocating and advice Alex Harp has given me during my first few days. My consultant who helped me to prepared for the interviews, but also encouraged me to have the confidence to pursue a salary that would fulfil all my requirements. Alex Harp found me the perfect job, I would definitely recommend them.”

Laura, Italy, Architect, Dublin

“I contacted Alex Harp before coming to Ireland because I wanted to find a job as soon as possible. My consultant arranged an interview the very first week of my stay and two more interviews a few days later. All the companies were chosen very carefully. They were looking for an employee with my qualifications and experience. Alex Harp contacted me before each interview to provide me with information about the company and after each interview so I could give them some feedback. Moreover, I got all the information necessary on living in Ireland which a foreigner needs.

Alex Harp was supportive like a family for me; they helped me in so many ways other than finding me a job. I will keep on recommending Alex Harp to my friends in Poland as well as in Ireland.”

Janina, Polish, Architect, Dublin 

"I would like to thank Alex Harp Recuitment and its entire staff for finding me a job in Ireland. Especially I would like to thank my consultant for his professional work. I always had a feeling that with his help I would find a job in a very good practice as it happened. From the beginning (his first call to me was in Beijing at 2am) he was keeping contact with me and I knew that there is somebody in the other end of the world who was helping me. When I came to Ireland for interviews my consultant was always giving me hints, so I knew my next step. It was perfect.”

“This is an opportunity for me to once again to say a big thank you, for the extremely efficient and thorough way in which you facilitated and negotiated this CT Radiographer post for me. I believe that from the onset, you knew exactly what I was looking for and matched me perfectly to a niche post.

I really do appreciate how speedily this has all come about. Your constant communication by email and phone always made me feel that I had not slipped through the cracks and I had not been forgotten. The package you negotiated for me was perfect! So congratulations are in order for you. Thanks ever so much.”

Jenni, South Africa, CT Radiographer, Limerick.

 

“I would like to state my sincere thanks to Alex Harp Recruitment for the unbelievable opportunity to work in Ireland. I especially want to thank you for your constant assistance, support and motivation during the negotiations and interviews. Alex Harp Recruitment made my dream come true.”

Thea, South Africa, Psychologist, Dublin

“Thank you so much for getting me my perfect job!

Your service was always very prompt and quick. You are very friendly and you always follow up any questions that I had. You were very patient, friendly and helpful and not mind to walk the extra mile to organise or understand my voice.

My friends will also highly recommend you. It is a hard job to please people as everyone thinks differently about things. You are able to bring all the parties together and still get good results by informing everyone.

You definitely had a very good feel for people. Your standards are high and you only give positive feedback that you think necessary. You try to smooth the way for applicants. There are not a lot of people that can do the job as good as you can and I will always highly recommend you.”

Jeanette, South Africa, Radiographer, Dublin

“Alex Harp has helped me to secure two good positions as an Occupational Therapist in the past nine months. I gained my first job whilst I was still living in the U.K within a matter of days. Alex Harp secured me a job in the field I wanted to work in. It was also close to my new home. You arranged a phone interview for me, which meant I didn’t have to attend the hospital in person. My consultant kept in regular contact with me and always returned my calls quickly and always answered any queries I had about the position that I had applied for. Best of all, my consultant took the time to find out what type of work interested me and then found positions which fitted my criteria. I would not hesitate to use Alex Harp in the future and I have found them to be both helpful and reliable.”

Alanie, Radiographer, Dublin

“I had the pleasure of working with Alex Harp Recruitment for the purposes of finding a placement as a Psychologist and relocating to Ireland. I chose to work with this agency on the recommendation of a friend who relocated to Ireland about 18 months previously.

My dealings with Alex Harp Recruitment were exclusive. The levels of enthusiasm, commitment, efficiency and overall professionalism, were truly outstanding and far exceeded any of my expectations.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Alex Harp Recruitment to anybody, as I would be surprised if the service I received from my consultant and her colleagues at Alex Harp could be surpassed.”
