Reviews

"Coming from an agency background myself, when I moved to internal, I was inundated (as expected) with a stream of agencies wanting to "introduce themselves". Steve already had a strong reputation with the managers in the business, and therefore I began working with him and have never looked back. What makes Steve, genuinely stand out from others is just that "being genuine". Steve clearly has respect for himself, which has led to him providing a knowledgeable, honest and exclusive service. Steve demonstrates excellent market knowledge and has done himself justice in becoming a unique expert in his field over his 13 year career, which lacks in the current external recruitment market. Working with Steve is a pleasure and if I ever need to look externally, Steve is my first point of call." -- Olivia Withers, July 2019 "Steve Guest is an Entrepreneur, a Visionary, an inspired Leader, a doting Husband and Father. Fiercely competitive, a man of extreme determination who elects to pour his heart and soul into everything that he touches. Displaying an unflinching character he thrives on challenges and doesn't accept failure as a possible given outcome. During the time I have known Steve he has expressed a keen interest in writing, driven by his real time experience as a Manager, given the longevity of a career in his specialised profession within the recruitment industry. What stimulates and motivates Steve, is to stand in success, driven by the need to provide for his family, which is central to everything that he does. It is this desire to provide which ultimately makes him a winner." -- Shaun Bedward, July 2019 "I have known Steve for several years and would highly recommend Steve when seeking new opportunities as his expertise, knowledge, honesty and integrity are second to none. Steve has offered me valuable advice and opportunities of employment throughout the years and I have Steve to thank for my current Employment. I would and have recommended Steve's services to colleagues." -- Jason Thomas, Sept 2019 "Whilst working with Steve he was always professional. He had the ability to strike up excellent relationships with both clients and candidates, even after a short time. His was driven but never let this affect the quality of the service he provided to either his clients or candidates. He was one of the most consistent performers within the business in many areas including fees. He was always willing to help and advise others should they need it. I would have no problem recommending Steve". -- Daniel Fowler, May 28th. 2012 "Steve was a valued colleague at SF group. He demonstrated an excellent work ethic and was a pleasure to work with". -- Jamie Rodden, May 15th 2009
