16. Client Testimonials
Subsea Service Company
Managing Director:
“We have been using Progressing recruitment consultants as our primary engineering recruitment provider for approximately 12 months.
From the very beginning we have been impressed by the professionalism of Progressive as an organisation. We have always received the
highest quality of candidates and we have continuously received excellent service through both good quality communications and
constructive two way feedback. We have recommended Progressive to a number of other companies already and have no hesitation in
continuing to do so.”
CEO
UK independent Oil Company:
“The service that we have received from Progressive has been nothing but grade "A". No matter what skill set I've given them they've always
come up with suitable candidates for us and more importantly met with our deadlines. Their client awareness doesn't stop as soon as they've
placed someone with you either as I've asked for numerous advice on various subjects to do with recruiting staff and Progressive have been
more than happy to help.”

17. Candidate Testimonials
General Manager Russian Operations
• “Ever since I received the confirmation that I had successfully secured the role of General Manager for your client’s Russian operations I've been keen
to write to you and thank you for all of your efforts. As you well know my job search has been a long and painful exercise, lasting some 9 months but
it became all the easier once I started dealing with you. Indeed I can't believe just how quick the process was. If you remember, I received the initial
job notification, discussed the post with you in the morning and first thing the following day you'd advised me that I was invited for a telephone
conversation that lunch-time. Prior to the interview you offered me some useful interview tips and following my interview were eagerly awaiting my
feedback as to how it went. As you well know it went very well and on next day you notified me as to my invitation for a second interview next week.
What impressed me was the interest you showed in ensuring that all of the necessary arrangements had been made for my safe travel there.
Following my interview we again spoke and I advised you of the good news that the position had been confirmed subject to confirmation of
references. Here again you were very supportive in co-ordinating information on my professional referees to the client. At this stage I was expecting
your involvement to have been concluded and was very surprised and pleased that you also helped during the post confirmation and employment
contract development phases. But the icing on the cake was that even when the post had been confirmed I'd a signed contract of employment you
were still keen to ensure that my visa processing went smoothly and my travel arrangements to take up my post had been effectively arranged.
Therefore all in all an very enjoyable process. Indeed if I had to go through such and exercise in the future I would hope that it would be you who was
doing it with me. Again many thanks for all of your assistance. I'd just wish we'd met earlier”.
Senior Reservoir Engineer
• “I've been in search for a job for about a 6 months - on and off – have worked with several recruitment agents throughout that time. I had found that
submissions through oil and gas employers home sites was getting me no where, with most not acknowledging my applications. Progressive Oil & Gas
was recommended by a friend, I made contact and within 3 days I was in an interview. I just have to tell that Progressive’s attitude and approach to
the process is fundamentally different to what I have seen from other agents. Along with sharp technical capabilities, Progressive have always
demonstrated a personal input, which I genuinely believe is an absolute must have skills have made the process very useful, painless and quite
educational. All and a key to a continuous success. The interpersonal communication and networking the professional capabilities aside, Progressive
were a pleasure to deal with as they clearly manage to create friendly, supportive and trustful relationships with people. I was also particularly
impressed by the fact that I was interviewed over the phone by my agent, so that he could describe me to potential clients, rather than only
forwarding my CV to applicable positions. Thanks Progressive!”
