Testimonials
"As part of our programme to expand Clarke Controls business we needed to recruit a new sales team. We felt that handling the recruitment process internally wasn’t the right way to go and that using a recruitment consultancy would not only be very expensive, it would mean that we would need to manage the process internally. Hayton Consultancy was recommended to us and, following a detailed discussion of our requirements, they took over the recruitment process which included the job specifications, advertising, candidate selection and managing the interviewing process. The project was executed quickly, efficiently and at reasonable price, ensuring we found the right people for our new sales team." Andrew Collier, Business Consultant, Clarke Controls
“We were introduced to Hayton Consultancy from another business that was very complimentary on the good service they had provided. When we met with the team, we could see they were very professional, they definitely knew what they were talking about and filled us with confidence they could do the job. They took ownership and removed a problem with minimal input required from me – absolutely key in my book. We would recommend Hayton Consultancy to any business as a HR provider that Just Get’s it!” Jon Woodall, Director, Space 48
"We have used the services of the Hayton Consultancy for the last six months and they have become a valuable extension to our company, providing up to date employment law advice. In the time that we have been working alongside Hayton Consultancy, they have prepared all of our employment law documentation on our behalf, which we have complete confidence in using, due to their knowledge and expertise within this field. We value our employees and want them to feel that everything we do, we do so in their interests. The Hayton Consultancy has provided the documentation and advice to help us do this better than we ever could have done without them. I personally can not recommend both Kim and Kerry enough, they are both very approachable, knowledgeable and always on hand, which is particularly helpful in an urgent situation. Now that we have a good handle on the majority of employment law aspects due to their help, the Hayton Consultancy have suggested that we now look to train new man managers within our company, providing them with the training and advice to help them make this transition easier. This is another aspect to the Hayton Consultancy and illustrates how they are not one dimensional company and are always “thinking outside of the box”

"Helix HealthCare Ltd has been working with Hayton for the last two or three years. They have been very instrumental in setting up our employment contracts in line with all the additional bits that we often forget. We know as a result we have a fair and straight forward contract of employment covering off all issues which could arise in the future. It's a warm and reassuring feeling that we have this box well and truly ticked off. Kim has recently sorted out in a very calm but direct manner an issue in respect of dispute with a previous contractor. Her ability to take the sting out of the situation and to bring it to a swift and satisfactory conclusion has saved a lot of heartache and time.
Hayton Consultancy is very much part of the Helix team."
