Certus Financial Planning Limited

I have been very pleased with the work that Certes have done for us over recent years. They have taken the time and effort to understand our business and the challenges we face and have consistently come up with suitable candidates that match our needs.

Whether it is a requirement for a contractor on a very urgent timescale, or a permanent employee, they are always responsive and are considered by Newburn as strategic partners as well as preferred suppliers.

Certes have been supplying IT contract staff to the Natural History Museum since December 2006 initially in competition with the main supplier but in a short space of time Certes became the preferred sole supplier for the Museum for IT contractors based on their quick turnaround and quality of service.

We currently have a broad spectrum of contractors through Certes including systems administrators, helpdesk and support staff, helpdesk management, project managers and a senior infrastructure analyst who form an integral and trusted part of our IT department.

Certes take the time to understand our requirements from a technical, personal and business perspective and always offer transparent and competitive rates. The Certes account manager is always accessible and approachable, and offers a consultative approach.

In short Certes have proven time and again that they can find exceptionally skilled candidates, in a timely fashion, that fit seamlessly into our culture and add value to the day to day activity and longer term goals of the Natural History Museum.

I have no hesitation in recommending Certes as a preferred supplier.

Always helpful, very polite and non-intrusive. Although I have not been contracting for long, I have worked as a customer of many agencies in my previous existence and so have a fair idea of the varieties. Certes certainly come out as very professional. With regard to payments, I have always been very pleasantly astonished at the speed from emailing my invoice to payment is usually 3 days! Quite awesome!
Contracts and paperwork is all handled electronically and makes that a simple exercise as I have enough other paperwork to do.
Your accounts staff (Jane in particular) have been a great help when there have been any payment issues and got the problem sorted immediately.
All in all a very good experience
