Have been working with Platinum for 6 years now and they always keep me busy!!! They always give me a job to suit my abilities and capacity as a chef. They have always been there for me, listen to me and very understanding. The team at Bournemouth is top class and very professional. From my personal experience, Platinum Recruitment is one of the best in the country and have been a chef for the last 40 years. Thank you to the team. More...

After working with Platinum across 2 years, well, they've been the best company I've ever worked for. Working in Front Of House can be tricky, however they make it a joy for places I'm posted to. I've worked with other people employed by Platinum in Front Of House and everyone who works for them are very professional and knew exactly what they were doing, and had great personalities. #MadeFriendsForLifeAs for Platinum, are incredibly supportive, kept in regular contact and were always there if needed. I've never had any issues with working for them and they always have been incredibly generous, understanding and caring to any special requests, holidays and queries I've had. I highly recommend them as employersVictoria, my lead contact at platinum, has always been supportive, both in my working life and personal life, professional and well, frankly hilarious and awesome to deal with, not only is she a credit to Platinum, but to all recruitment agencies. Charlotte, Daniela, Haidee, Lewis, Karen, everyone I've dealt with at Platinum are such a joy to talk to, I always have a laugh, and it feels more like dealing with family than dealing with employers, while maintaining a totally respectful and professional relationship.5 star employers all round and I highly recommend. Thanks for all your hard work, Platinum, keep it up. More...

I believe I am more than 10 years of part of Platinum Recruitment. I have never had any issues to change my assignments, I never had to wait more than weeks for the new ones, even if I desperately wanted to change, as something went wrong with my accommodation. Anytime without problem I could go for Holiday when I wanted as long how I needed. When I arrived back, always had a new assignment. As my 10 years with them, I traveled all over UK, leaved in most famous holiday placed. Hardly recommend them, especially Karen, Haidee, Victoria, Andy, and actually all of them in the Agency.

To be honest I’m not very good at writing reviews so here goes. I have worked with Tom, Andy, Rob and not forgetting Jo and Matt. I have only been with Platinum for just under a year but in that year I have worked from Poole to Cheltenham. I have enjoyed most jobs but nothing in life is perfect and what I chose not to do again someone else may love. The flexibility of working for an agency is great as you can chose when and what you do. Yes there are quiet times but then there’s busy times too. I would recommend Platinum as a client and an employee for all front and back of house needs. Jenni x More...

I started working for Platinum nearly four years ago. I had various shifts across the area, most of the times with other Platinum colleagues. Staff is always helpful, friendly and professional, prompt answering the phone or messages. I recommend them to anyone who will like a part or full time job in hospitality industry, they have a variety of shifts suitable to everybody. And of course, they are the best ;) More...

I have been working for Platinum Recruitment on and off over the last couple of years, and have seen them grow and evolve as an agency. In general I enjoy working for the agency, I receive shifts regularly (although you do need to call regularly to ask for shifts) and enjoy working at most of their locations. If there is a location I do not particularly enjoy I do not need to go back. Working with the flexibility of the agency has been perfect alongside my studies. Staff are always friendly, very helpful and they are always contactable - especially Andy, Rob and Tom Leech. There is a minimum shift time of 4 hours, which is great for an agency as it ensures clients cannot send you home without paying you at least 4 hours. More...

try too communicate with them that the job is not the right one for you,they don't bother replying to your emails or return phone calls!

Having been approached by Platinum late last year as I was looking for a new move, Lewis was superb from start to finish, he had a great location lined up and worked well with the GM and DGM. In the 3 months since I moved I've already gained a promotion showing that Lewis put me into an establishment always looking to use those from within and develop those they have. Since the move Lewis has been in touch on occasion just to ensure everything has been smooth and there have been no issues. Communication was always prompt and I would certainly recommend making use of Platinum in the future. More...

I have worked with Platinum, and specifically Tom Leech, for many years and have always found their commitment and professionalism to be of the highest calibre.

Tom's drive to find the best candidates for any role I am recruiting for, rather than simply trying to fill a vacancy with whomever he can, has always stood out. The time and effort spent in understanding what I am looking for, and the post-recruitment stages of ensuring that both the candidate and myself are happy, have always been appreciated, and I would recommend Tom and Platinum for any recruitment needs.

Absolutely amazing experience. I spoke to Francesca who completely saved my bacon. I had difficulty finding staff (waiters and bar) for my wedding in Weymouth. Friends of mine were catering and because they weren't an official catering company other recruitment centres in Weymouth and Dorchester said they wouldn't have the right insurance to help me. So after calling about 4 different places, a friend of mine who's a caterer recommended Platinum and they were brilliant.

I was abroad at the time and it was literally about 2 weeks before the wedding and Francesca sorted everything out even though it was last minute. My friends who catered our wedding mentioned how brilliant the staff were. They were all really professional, friendly and went the extra mile. I expected a lot of clearing up, but the barman and waiters when they weren't busy had been sorting stuff and putting glasses through the washing machine etc and made it so much easier to clear up the next day.

Also we had a signature cocktail at the wedding which the barman were happy to do and the waiters were brilliant needing little direction.

All the staff were fantastic and Francesca organised everything and it all went like a dream. I wouldn't hesitate to use platinum again for any future functions! Xxx
