What our customers say about us...

If you are looking for a role in the Hampshire/ Dorset area, then Simon is your man. From the first conversation, I always felt like Simon listened to exactly what I was after and more importantly, what I did not want. Rather than send me to 5 different interviews, he picked out a couple of companies that he felt would be a good fit and the were, I loved them and received a job offers from both! Couldn’t recommend his services any higher. Thanks Simon!

 

Adam, Hampshire (Candidate)

Simon is diligent & professional recruiter with a fantastic understanding of the estate agency market. His friendly yet professional approach is crucial when he is helping you look for additional team members. He listened carefully to our brief, asked pertinent questions and then sought out suitable candidates. We weren’t bombarded with CV’s and the process was smooth from beginning to end and we can’t thank Simon enough for his help.

We initially contacted Lawson Property Recruitment as we we’re looking to expand our Estate Agency & Lettings business across Dorset, and were looking to strengthen the teams in our existing offices. They have assisted us attracting staff not only for the existing offices but also 2 new offices we’ve subsequently opened. We now regard LPR as an essential partner in achieving our business goals and would highly recommend their services.
