Helped us to meet demand & deadlines!
Murray McIntosh helped us during a very busy period.
At that time we required experienced electricians to assist us with cutting cables, assembling complex multi-core cables, soldering, and panel wiring. Murray McIntosh helped us to meet demand & deadlines by introducing us to qualified individuals in the area who were able to jump on board with the availability and skillsets we required.

First hand response from their clients!
I find Murray McIntosh are proactive in searching suitable position whenever I approach them. They are quick on getting first hand response from their clients straight after an interview. I would highly recommend them as key recruiters for those who are looking for change or further progression.

The Murray McIntosh team are absolutely outstanding in attention to detail and never giving up on the values all recruitment specialists should aspire to be like.
I must say that over the past 40yrs of working at some of this countries biggest and most prestigious projects (and industry) I have in all of those years had many agencies working to get me the right position and if that position didn’t work out they ran for the hills!!
A unique situation to put someone in so trust has to be defining, but now to the agency recruitment specialist Murray McIntosh, after being let down and leaving a position early even though it was supposed to be long term, the team kept the pressure on and said they would do their best. 3-4 months later I am now working for that same company in a better position! They are absolutely outstanding in attention to detail and never giving up on the values all recruitment specialists should aspire to be like.
Murray McIntosh are a credit to the profession and I can’t them enough for giving me the opportunities they had promised and come through with.
Bravo!!

We currently have 10+ Murray McIntosh resources working across my team. We have found the standard of applicants to be high, clearly the effort dedicated to candidate vetting by the team prior to submission has saved time at the interview stage with an offer rate of around 2 from 3. They are very proactive in offering CVs and managing them through the online portals to get them in front of me for review, they are also quick to act when making offers and securing start dates. They were supportive on the occasion a candidate wasn’t performing and provided sound guidance on the way forward. Compared to other recruiting partners, we do a bulk of our business through Murray McIntosh due to the quality of the candidates and the speed of service.
