What our supply & recruitment clients say about us

We have worked with SAAF for over 2 years, and they have yet to let us down. Our consultant has been fantastic throughout this time and has been open and honest about every aspect of our interactions, always going the extra mile to support us. I would recommend their services to anybody without hesitation

Acting Deputy Head, Primary School, Hull

Prompt, efficient and friendly. Listens to our requirements and tries to match them appropriately unlike some other agencies who send absolutely anyone! Our consultant is available all the time which is useful if we need to organise cover out of hours.

School Business Manager, Primary School, Beverley

Our consultant is transparent and won't try and push candidates on our provision who are not suitable. Very good communication and we are always informed of recruitment status.

Office Manager, Primary School

I like SAAF's supportive process of finding new staff for our admin team, with the intention of taking them on permanently in the future. My consultant knows what we are looking for in staff and has managed to find us quite a few new members of the admin team, who we have either moved to permanent or are in the process of moving. I'm really pleased with the support we're receiving and the supportive working relationship we have built.

Business Leader for Communication and Technology, Trust

Our consultant is efficient and goes above and beyond to get the best candidate for our school. Our consultant is very amenable. He stays in regular contact - but is never pushy.

School Business Manager, Maintained School

It's quick and easy to contact our consultant and he always tries to book the supply that staff have liked in the past. We can also give honest feedback regarding the supply staff.
