AFR understand MI Technology very well due to working with us for many years. AFR do not submit lots of candidates for the positions and are specific with their short lists. The candidates they submit have all been fully briefed on the role they are being interviewed for prior to the interview so there are no surprises when they meet us. The whole recruitment process through AFR is very easy.

Tamara Jones, Financial Accountant MI Technology Group

“AFR Consulting provide honest, no nonsense advice, and didn’t waste my time sending
irrelevant CV’s. We’ve been really pleased with their service and I would recommend them to
anyone wanting and efficient and quality focused financial recruiter. ”

Bolton Wanderers FC

“We have successfully been recruiting candidates through AFR since 2008. They put a lot of effort into understanding the business and what skills we require for each individual role. Furthermore, since AFR have now placed the majority of our finance department they can successfully judge the personality fit of each candidate in our team.

The recruitment process could not be simpler as AFR do all the work. We receive a small shortlist of excellent candidates. The hardest part for us is choosing between candidates!! ”

I would like to use an opportunity to thank for the support that both Tammy and Sarah gave to me throughout the whole interviewing process. They both made me feel confident in myself to go to the interview as tbh if it wasn’t for them I would have struggled a lot more during the whole process ( never been to one before). Tammy Smith was absolutely amazing !!!!!She made me feel comfortable, provided me with all information I needed to succeed!She is also very warm, super friendly and... approachable, very reliable and informative. Honestly, I cannot thank them enough as they are just perfect career match makers!!!!!AFR Consulting/ Tammy Smith - you are a life changer!!!!Thank you very much!!!!read more

Really impressed with AFR Consulting and their speedy effort to find me suitable employment. Tammy and Sarah really had my best interests at heart and the whole experience was much more of personal service than a business transaction as found at other recruitment agencies. I would certainly be using them in the future after trusting them to find me the perfect job.
