Testimonials
Find out what those who have worked with the team at Code Resources have said about their first-hand experience of us – as colleagues, clients and candidates.
My job search was not straightfoward, as I had recently moved in to transport planning after spending nearly two decades working in universities - I wasn't an obvious, low-risk candidate. Code and Brian La-Ffin took time to get to know me and my skills and abilities, and used their knowledge of the sector to identify potential employers. They gave me sound, actionable advice on structuring my CV and clear and focused briefings before interviews. Most importantly, they introduced me to the company I now work for, and helped me negotiate a good salary and benefits package once I was offered a position. Throughout my search Brian and the rest of the Code Resources team were approachable and encouraging, as well as realistic. I wouldn't be where I am without their help. Kind Regards, Julian Moss Senior Transport Planner - WSP
"I approached Paul Clarke of Code Resources in April 2018 for potential contract opportunities within highway design. I found Paul extremely professional and helpful in understanding my needs (he found a very suitable contract role within a matter of weeks). I was recommended to use Code Resources, and I would strongly recommend them to others who are looking for a new opportunity within civil engineering for permanent or contract positions." Alec Darch (Senior Civil Engineering Professional)
“I was approached by Brian of Code Resources in April 2018 for some potential opportunities in Civil Engineering - Geotechnics. I found Brian an authentic, engaging and truly professional recruiter. He genuinely engaged to understand my needs and found a very suitable contract role within a few weeks. I strongly recommend Brian to anyone who is looking for opportunities in Civil Engineering sector.” SJ
I have learned Brian as an open, friendly and easy accessible recruiter with a clear communication and clarifying feedback. He has shown great interest and understanding of my position and interest as job seeker. Meanwhile I see that Brian has proven understanding of a client's needs for flexible available and supportive specialists. Happy that Brian has linked me to this project Luton Airport MPT Detailed Design, it is a very interesting project but meanwhile pressing. Thanks to Brian's efforts I am able to build on my relations with members of staff of Coffey in Yorkshire and I can develop my professional relationship within the Geotechnical / Civil Industry further.

"I rang Code Resources and spoke to Brian le Ffin about two suitable jobs, one of them was very acceptable. I sent in my updated CV to Brian and within a few days I spoke to the potential employer in a telephone interview who had seen my CV. I went to see the companies Senior Engineer and Director and voila they offered me a very acceptable contract to be a member of a large site construction project as their site representative which I accepted.

Being made redundant and needing to look for new employment after over 15 years in the same company was very daunting and worrying in the first instance. From my first contact to the present day (5 months with my new company) I have found the service provided by Code Resources to be of the highest order. Their knowledge of the market, regular updates and friendly manner made the whole process very positive. Highly recommended.
I can confirm I used the Code Resources electronic timesheet system on a recent assignment and found it very simple and easy to use. They did their usual great job in setting up the contract paper work and were professional in their day to day business Regards Dale
"I have always found dealing with Paul Clarke a positive experience - Paul provides a polite, proactive service and the candidates he sources are often of the highest calibre and we have recruited several staff members from CODE over the years. Without being overly intrusive, Paul keeps in regular contact with our business, knows the kind of people we require and understands our recruitment needs. Paul has helped our business grow over the years and I hope he continues to help us in the future".
I would like to thank all the staff at Code Resources, especially Paul Clarke for the involvement in finding me the right job. After 10 years of working for my previous employer, I have decided to move on, and try myself somewhere else. It was a big decision to take, however I received a huge support and understanding from Code Resources, along with help and advice during the whole process. Paul wanted to make sure I was happy with the suggested choices, and always discussed with me the potential interviews, prior to any arrangements. Also, after starting the new job, Paul made sure I was happy and settling well. Once again, a massive Thank You and I give my recommendation of this Recruitment Agency to anyone who is thinking of changing the carrier path.
‘I found my experience with Code resources very good. When comparing to previous recruiters I have dealt with, they were good at choosing appropriate employers to what position I am. I.e. employers who local to my current living location, employers who are looking to train employees through degrees etc. which I want to do. In terms of organising interviews, all interviews were arranged at times when I was free so I wasn’t travelling out of my way to get to interviews and there weren’t too many interviews in one day so appropriate preparation time could be given to each. Following interviews, they were also very attentive in how I felt during the interview and any comments the employers had after the interview. Overall a very good experience and would choose code resources again over similar recruiters.
