Testimonials

I highly endorse Christina to anyone seeking a career change to advance their professional growth. Her deep understanding of both candidates’ skill set and job requirements exceeded my expectations, enabling her to effectively support both candidates and employers. Throughout the entire recruitment process, she remained consistently prepared and transparent. Her services are especially valuable for individuals with technical expertise or unique backgrounds.

Mark did a great job at finding my assignment. Not all recruiters contact you for suitable roles, but this was the perfect match. The whole process from initial contact was smooth and transparent. Karen then took over and was fantastic with the onboarding process.

Having worked with Christina across multiple roles and companies, I’d say what stands out is her talent for finding hens’ teeth and unicorns. More than any other recruiter, she works hard to deeply understand her client’s brief, screening for the right candidate, and exciting them about the role.

I have known PiC for a considerable length of time both as a Client and as a Contractor.

In all operations I have found them to be both efficient and really easy to work with. As a Client they always found me the right person for the position that I needed filled and as a Contractor I have only had good experiences, especially throughout the relatively tough times we have had over the years.

I highly recommend PiC to both Clients looking for experienced contractors and Contractors looking for a challenging new position.

Mark Cox and Karen Elias are great at building long-term relationships – which works well for everyone involved.  They take time to understand people as individuals, which means they can match the right candidates to the right opportunities.  They are highly professional and, as an extra benefit, a pleasure to work with!

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Christina Wakes’ services from both a candidate and client perspective, and in both instances, her commitment to delivering an exceptional experience was evident.

Whether you are a job seeker or a company in need of top-notch talent, I highly recommend Christina Wake. Her professionalism, dedication, and personalised approach truly set her apart in the recruitment industry.

I have worked with PiC for a large part of my IT career. Their depth of knowledge and experience in their target market provides an unparalleled ability to match clients with candidates on a worldwide level, giving them the unique ability to claim that they can find the best candidates in the world for any role they represent.

I have worked with PiC for the last 3 years on two separate contracts. I consider them to be one of the best agent’s I’ve worked with. Mark Cox and Karen Elias who have been my regular contacts there have always responded and addressed any issues with renewals, payments and written contract promptly. Mark has also been invaluable in advising me on IR35 issues and helped me transition into an IR35 contract in April 2021 before placing me in an outside IR35 contract subsequently.

I had the pleasure to work closely with Robin , in one of the most important assignments in my career up to now, from 2018-2021. Robin was my agent and he helped me enormously in getting the job, on having a smooth onboarding , with the renewals of my contract and all kind of bureaucratic issues. With certainty, I can say that Robin stands next to his clients and helps them on all kind of issues, before-during-and after an assignment. Moreover , his approach and attitude towards his clients (both the firms and contractors) stands out compared to the typical agents, since Robin is able to bring the right people to the right place. His empathy, understanding and knowledge help tremendously to make the right matching and connections. Overall, I will strongly recommend Robin as a person to work with and trust, and I would be happy in the future for our routes to be crossed again.
