Bradley at GKR has found me the perfect role in a fantastic company while making the whole process surprisingly easy. I have no doubt that I have made the right decision, and I’m very thankful to have been introduced to the opportunity by Bradley.
From point of initial contact he has been all over the procedure very efficiently and professionally, keeping in contact regularly and most important of all getting me into the best suited role possible.
What was daunting prospect of moving up to London and a job change has been made and exciting time, as well as providing me a fantastic opportunity.
I would highly recommend Bradley and his team to anyone looking for their next job or a new employee.
Thanks again!

I was referred to Rose at GKR by an interviewer who worked for a Mews property specialist company. Rose was an absolute delight to work with. She was professional, proactive, supportive and got me my first job in London within a WEEK of working with one another. She went the extra mile and gave me valuable interview advice and kept me in the loop regarding feedback from the companies I Interviewed at. It reached the stage that Rose even calculated how long my journey to the offices would take, so that I could focus on my preparation and have a stress free job hunting experience. I’ve never come across a more authentic, professional and hard working recruiter before. Rose deserves all the success that comes her way and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.

Michael was nothing short of incredible in helping me secure a new role. He was proactive, responsive, supportive and has provided great advice throughout the whole process, from putting me forward for a great opportunity right through to the end of my 3 month probation period. Michael always went the extra mile and has made transitioning jobs stress free and enjoyable. Can’t recommend GKR recruitment enough.

Roger Hawthorn deserves way more than just 5 stars. He's a recruiter that truly cares about you and goes above and beyond to help you secure your next role. I've had nothing but amazing service from GKR and would definitely recommend working with GKR to land your next role!

I had an exceptional experience with GKR London, Jason Ross in particular made the usually stressful process of looking for a new role, seamless, professional and quick! He found a placement for me within 1 week and a half and has continued to touch base and offer support in my new role. Would definitely recommend and can’t thank Jason enough for all of his efforts!!

It's an absolute pleasure to get to know Rose since 2018, I can't thank her enough for the effort she made for me. She takes her responsibilities very serious and she will take an extra mile to work with you, her advices have helped me so much.

My experience with GKR was excellent! Olivia Davis is an outstanding recruiter and I love her approach. She was interested in getting to know me whilst getting to know what is important for my career and next company. Her weekly follow ups went above my expectations which greatly alleviated my stress with the job hunt. She understands and cares about what my concerns were so I didn't feel like just another candidate. Thanks for placing me in my new role! I would highly recommend GKR for anyone in the properties industry for their next career move.

From start to finish my experience with GKR has been amazing. From my very first conversation with Rose Lock, I was instantly put at ease having not looked at changing roles in 11 years.
Rose supported me throughout my journey, making me feel prepared, supported and confident. She is a mentor providing knowledge but is personable and really listens and genuinely cares. Rose is exceptional at her job and a delight to deal with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am now looking forward to starting my amazing new role and its all thanks to Rose!

I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with Bradley Hellier who is by far the best recruiter I've ever dealt with (and there has been a few over the years). He was a thorough professional since our first conversation right up to starting my new role, I always felt like he was going above and beyond for me. Bradley has remained in touch throughout my placement and is always on hand to take your call should you need him. Would have no hesitation in recommending Bradley and GKR to anyone looking for a property role in London they are the gold standard!

There are very few professionals in this industry who bring competence to the table with a mix of a very positive attitude and an extremely friendly demeanour.
Lauren Moon is certainly one of them! She is very organized, rational and has an extremely efficient follow-up system. From last-minute pointers to good-luck emails, Lauren remained active throughout my entire recruitment process.
Highly recommended for any future collaboration! Thank you GKR and Lauren

I had the pleasure of working with Lee recently on my next career move. Lee was really great to work with, not only was he always in contact, he really listened to what I wanted and needed from a new role, and advised me on what opportunities would work best for me. He was supportive throughout the process, with encouraging calls before interviews and sharing his wealth of knowledge to give me the best chance. Lee goes above and beyond his role and lends support even after I landed my dream job. I can't recommend him enough.

I’ve previously used recruitment companies that I thought were amazing, until Emma Lyall at GKR London went and raised that bar. She has been phenomenal! From my initial conversation with Emma I knew she knew her stuff and she’s been consistent throughout every step. Within less than 1 month of dealing with Emma, she has landed me my dream job with a company I know I’m going to love! Thank you thank you thank you, Emma you’re amazing!

First class experience with Bradley. I had been in touch with a few recruiters but Bradley was by far the best. Listened to what I was looking for and got me a placement for the exact company I wanted. He was never pushy and I felt like he genuinely wanted to help, it was like talking with a friend. At points I was indecisive and Bradley assertiveness helped me to make the right decision. He provided great advice and followed up to make sure everything was okay. Thanks again Bradley and I will be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a job.

From start to finish my experience with GKR, especially with Rose Lock, has been nothing short of exceptional.

For someone young and still making his way through the industry, Rose was able to draw from experience to provide expert knowledge on my situation every step of the way. Her attention to detail and passion to deliver results really showed and provided alot of re-assurance.

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve started my new job and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Thank you Rose!

Had the pleasure of working with Olivia Davison who is absolutely amazing! Upon arriving in London I was recommended to get in touch with Olivia when seeking full time work in the Architecture industry here. She is extremely helpful and welcoming and felt she was very attentive to what I was looking for in a new role. She has a thorough understanding of the architectural employment landscape, as well as an extensive knowledge of the Industry here, giving trusted advice and support where and when needed! She very quickly placed me into a role which I'm very excited about and thankful for! Will definitely be recommending her to others within the Industry.

I was recruited by Rose Lock and had an amazing experience. Rose found me a job within two weeks and her communication and support was outstanding. Being new to the Property industry, I did not have a vast amount of experience, but with her honesty and passion to help me succeed, I have found a job which is exactly what I was looking for and I am very keen to start. If you are looking to find employment within the Property sector, I would highly recommend GKR, and more specifically, Rose.

I first met Rose on a cloudy British day five years ago. In just 24 hours, she had secured me a job where I remained for almost 5 years. This position offered immense opportunities for personal and professional growth. When I recently decided it was time for a change, I instinctively turned to Rose, knowing she'd be instrumental in guiding my next career move. After sharing my aspirations, Rose's exceptional professionalism shone through. She didn't just meet my expectations; she surpassed them.To be candid, Rose's approach to recruitment is unparalleled. Her genuine honesty and dedication instill a confidence that you are in the best hands. Every pivotal moment in my career has had Rose's guidance, and I owe her a debt of gratitude. Where I stand today in my career is, to a significant extent, thanks to her.

Google reviews are great because I can share how wonderful Emma was. I had experience with other recruiters who came across ad condescending. Emma was personable and listened to all of my needs/requests and ended up fitting me with the perfect job opportunities. I was actually a bit surprised how exceptionally well she was able to find the perfect fit for me. I’m super happy with my new role and would absolutely recommend Emma.

I worked with Anu to find a position when i was made redundant. She has been so friendly and personable. She provided me with regular updates and check-ins during the process; great communication all around. Even when she was on Annual Leave, she passed on my interview process to Emma who was also incredibly helpful and kind. It’s been a pleasure working with both of them and was happy when placed in the position I was hoping for. Going through the job hunt process was made a lot quicker and easier with Anu and Emma help and advise. Would recommend working with them.
