Thank you to Fiona for her help and efficiency during the placing of the advert! The process was made very easy and the results have been excellent."

With enough applicants in these areas, they had the correct experience and the advert hit the correct market. So far I have taken on two candidates and filled my head count. The Daily Mail worked very well and my account handler, Alex Heng, made the advertising process very simple. "

Backoffice
"I contacted Alex Heng for advice on how best to find a new direct sales team for a product we intend launching across the UK, he suggested an advertisement in the Thursday edition of the Daily Mail, helped with setting the advert and its placement. Between the publication and the web backup we received 128 replies of which we have selected 57 to interview for 4 vacancies. On first pass the quality seems to be very high and of the right calibre, so the words in the advert clearly hit the right spot and the readership is appropriate.
We shall have no hesitation of using the Daily Mail again in the future and at £8.50 per reply, this is in fact quite cheap recruitment"."

"We are very pleased with the quality and response of our recent advertisement. We made our advertising enquiry close to Daily Mail copy deadlines for Career Mail. Our account managers Fiona and Alex - although on deadline - took the time to explain our options clearly in a friendly and professional manner; we were extremely impressed with the way they addressed our concerns and specific needs. Therefore as a smaller sized company at no point did we ever feel lost within a corporate giant."
