Our Clients

 

Scattergoods supplies candidates at all levels for permanent and temporary vacancies within Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and Sussex to a wide variety of clients. Many of our clients have been using our services on a regular basis since the company was established in 1975. These may be large corporate venues, hotels, staff restaurants, golf clubs, conference centres, leisure venues and the care or education sector.

Our Consultants have had significant first-hand managerial experience within the catering industry and therefore have complete understanding of clients’ needs.

We interview, seek references and legal qualifications to work on all our temporary candidates. We are able to offer a Disclosure and Barring Service checking facility to any Client or candidate that wishes this completed, or previously cleared workers if this is a legal requirement at your business. Scattergoods will only put forward those candidates who are suitable for duties requested and match the required client criteria.

We consider it very important to visit your business. This will enable us to establish the unique needs that each business requires. One of our consultants would be happy to visit your establishment in order to discuss matters in person and gain a greater understanding of your needs.

If you would like to discuss your requirements in more detail, please call us for further information or complete our client enquiry form.

 

Scattergoods are quick and efficient at finding staff. They have a great pool of staff, which eases the stress when they arrive at site for a busy day’s work. The overall service is excellent and I always recommend them to anyone who enquires.

Freedom Leisure

We have been relying upon Scattergoods for approaching ten years now and they have been fantastic at accommodating our – often changing – needs and I know we would have struggled to find another agency that understands our requirements and the need to rapidly adapt to changing levels of business. I’ve lost count of the number of chefs we have used from them over the years but they always fit in to the kitchen and get straight on with it!

I have been using Scattergoods for a year now and I find them to be very helpful. I have had several last minute events and Scattergoods have been able to provide me with good quality staff at short notice. I can’t see myself ever using another agency again.

Barons Pub Company have used Scattergoods for a number of years now and have never been disappointed with the calibre of candidates put forward.

What the team do well is get a thorough understanding of the profile we are looking for when recruiting for permanent Managerial roles and they never waste time sending through candidates that are not suited to our business.

The background checks and follow up service are also second to none – I would always recommend Scattergoods to fellow in-house recruiters
