RECOMMENDATIONS

At the beginning of the season, I struggled to find the right staff. After talking to Equine Elite, they quickly presented a few top candidates, two  of which I employed. This year has so far been a successful year thanks to my team and especially to my grooms, both found through Equine Elite. I truly recommend Equine Elite and I could not be happier with their service.

Equine Elite were great to work with, we had a number of positions to fill, Sarah was brilliant – she listened to my needs, the yard’s requirements and then found potential candidates that she thought would work well in our yard and set up. Sarah made the process less stressful and time consuming for me, as she does all the hard work of contacting candidates, referencing, liaising over interviews, negotiating packages, she is always prompt with follow up and without hesitation she is patient and enthusiastic. Equine Elite comes highly recommended from Team Taylor.

My team and I have had a great experience working with Sarah and very much appreciate the professional service she provides. My staff are an essential key to my success – so attention to detail in recruiting is of most importance to me.

I can’t thank Sarah enough for helping me find my dream job. I came across Sarah’s website by chance, but within 48 hours my CV had been sent off and I was awaiting an interview. I found Sarah extremely easy to talk to and I was able to explain exactly what I was looking for. Having worked in yards full time herself Sarah knew just how hard yet rewarding our work is. I truly recommend Equine Elite, hurry up and register!

Here at Dassett Eventing we have turned to Sarah Huntley at Equine Elite to source us staff to fill a range of positions we have had on offer over the years.  Sarah consistently ensures the candidates are as well suited as possible and provides a thorough follow up service.  I always feel she genuinely cares about matching employer and employee and provides a much more personal service than you can find in magazines or online.  We would highly recommend Equine Elite.

Thanks to Equine Elite and Sarah’s help and support I have a job I have always wished for. It is exactly what I was looking for: the best yard with the top rider, top horses, the highest quality facilities, ideal terms and conditions, family atmosphere and all of that in the city I live in! Apart of that I have riding training and I have learnt so much about horse care and management from the best. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Sarah for giving me a life time opportunity job. I wish you the best luck with your company and I am sure you will always help to find the right jobs for the right people.

From receiving the email from Equine Elite, to being in my new job now six weeks later, Sarah has been nothing but kind, helpful and full of information! The application process was easy and simple as being able to talk to someone direct before your new potential employer really helps settle any nerves as you know a bit more about the person you’ll be interviewing with and you know they’ll have a bit more info on you! Equine Elite has helped me find a job in this industry that I really enjoy and suits my lifestyle down to the ground! Being enrolled with the British Grooms Association by Sarah as well, was a great help and makes you feel as though not only can you turn to Sarah with any queries but also to a fantastic association! Thanks Equine Elite!

I was recommended to Equine Elite through the wonderful world of Twitter. I quickly made contact with Sarah and within weeks of the initial contact I have a fantastic new Head Girl. Sarah made the process less stressful and time consuming as she does all the hard work, she will make a point of coming and meeting you and seeing the yard to help ensure she sends the right person to you. I have been so impressed with the service I have received and thanks to Sarah at Equine Elite I have a great new team!

 I found Equine Elite a very professional and organised business to work with. Sarah did all the hard work in finding the right candidates and short listing them for suitability. All the candidates I met for interview were of a high calibre and definitely employable. We ended up recruiting a fantastic person who is now acting as Assistant Yard Manager to cover staff sickness and she has slotted into the team seamlessly. Whilst being so busy this process was quick and easy and took the headache out of trying to find the right person. Thanks Sarah for all your help.

Many thanks for your professional and friendly approach, everything had to happen so quickly for us and you managed to find some good candidates to interview and our new manager has started and is settling in well. We would recommend people to you and will use your services again if the need arises.

I was very very happy with every part of your operation from your prompt getting in touch in the first place, listening to my needs and fitting them to potential candidates. You seem to be filling a need for both employers and employees, and I would certainly recommend you to others in the same situation will use you again if and when the need arises.

I registered with Equine Elite – Equestrian Recruitment agency at the beginning of this year and I couldn’t be happier. Sarah has been nothing but helpful and I have had two temporary jobs through the agency already. I would highly recommend Equine Elite to anybody!

Freelance Groom
Further to your recent search for a groom to fit our very exacting requirements I am delighted to write to you to confirm that you have found the perfect match.  Our new recruit not only fulfills our exact specification in terms of experience and ability, she also fits into our small team perfectly.   I feel you really listened to what I wanted and did not waste my time (or that of potential candidates) by sending the wrong calibre of people to interview.  It is always stressful employing new people when they live in on site – for both parties – us to be certain we have someone long term, and for them the upheaval of moving both job and home.   You made the process seamless and easy for all concerned.  I would not hesitate to use you again or to recommend you to others. Once again thank you for all help.

Equine Elite made it incredibly easy and stress free after deciding to change career back to a rider/head groom. Sarah was very friendly, helpful and professional with knowing and listening to my needs. I have now found my perfect place with an exciting future ahead, I couldn’t thank Sarah enough for her brilliant service she has proved me. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone. Thank you again Sarah.

I found the whole process with Equine Elite very easy, effective and prompt! All communications were clear and very friendly, I have a great job courtesy of Sarah!!!

Sarah offers a fantastic service to both employees and employers. After creating and sending off a tailor made profile to potential employers I received phone calls from yards that were specifically suited to what I was looking for, the only difficulty then was choosing which one to go for! It was great to have somebody to matchmake me with my perfect job!

I approached Sarah at Equine Elite after seeing a job advertised on her website that I was interested in, Sarah promptly replied to me giving me all the information I needed, I gave Sarah all my details and she put my profile forward as a candidate for the job and arranged the interview. The whole process was very easy and Sarah did all the hard work, she was very supportive and helpful and I would definitely recommend Equine Elite to anyone looking for a job in the horse industry

What a fantastic response we have had, thank you so much for putting together such a great advert, I will definitely be looking at placing another one at some point! I have one person that has joined the team from the advert already, and she is going to be a real asset so am very pleased with that, and another two girls who are looking to join in the next couple of weeks. Great result!

My husband and I wanted to thank you for the outstanding professional service that you gave us in our search for a Yard Manager/Groom. Both of the candidates that you sent to us for interview were of the highest calibre and fitted our job description perfectly. It was a joy to interview both of them and, we were secure in the knowledge that the candidates knew exactly what we were looking for, and could provide those skills. Throughout the interviews and selection you were always there offering help and assistance. I have recommended your company to many of my friends as being outstanding. Suffice to say we will readily return to you to use your services again.

I contacted Sarah regarding a role I was interested in but required further information. Less than two hours of receipt of my query, Sarah had contacted me and answered all of my questions regarding the role and my CV was put forward. Within 24 hours, I was sat in an interview room with my potential employer which turned out to be my dream job that I have loved ever since. I have worked in several different industries including background screening for pre – employment and I have never come across such a professional, quick and informative recruitment company. I would recommend Equine Elite to any person wanting to find their dream role with horses. Many thanks again!

I had had two bad experiences in one year employing grooms to work on my small but international level dressage yard. As a small yard, we rely on one full time member of staff, making it even more stressful when that one person leaves. I was really struggling before Sarah started helping me to find someone for the role but as soon as Sarah was involved I had confidence she would find the right person. Importantly for me I didn’t have to worry about trawling through applications and could focus on looking after my horses and riding and teaching as normal. Sarah was quick to identify a short list and I am absolutely thrilled with my new groom. We have just started the competition season and are, after only two months, already a strong team ready for the coming season. I really cannot thank Sarah enough, for the emotional support, knowledgeable advice, and her dedication to finding the right person for the right job. She really has both employer and employee’s interests at heart.

I cannot recommend Sarah and Equine Elite recruitment enough! Sarah was so helpful throughout the whole process and was very supportive. With Sarah’s help I have managed to find the perfect job! The personal touch once I’d found the job when Sarah sent me a good luck card, polo shirt and headband was just lovely, very thoughtful! Thank you so much Sarah

I would encourage anyone to use Equine Elite, groom or employer. Sarah is extremely helpful and efficient and I now have a fantastic job working for a young event rider who is understanding and appreciative of the work I do. Sarah understands how hard it can be as a groom finding the right balance of work and still being able to enjoy your own horses after a long day at work. Sarah was very quick at arranging references and interviews and even after being given the job she still checks in to see how things are going and everyone is happy. I feel that if I had the smallest of questions I could give Sarah a call and she would help me as best she could and as a freelance groom it is great to know that there is always someone out there to listen. I cannot thank or recommend you enough Sarah!
