Testimonials

Working with Dorinda has been a pleasure. She took the time to understand our needs and found four exceptional engineers across Europe who have all become valuable members of our team. Her commitment and support go far beyond recruitment, making her a trusted partner for our business.

When I decided that it was time for the change of the workplace, searching for the suitable roles I came across Profile recruitment. I picked up the phone and called Dorinda.

From the first contact Dorinda provided highly customised service, listened to my concerns and I truly felt handheld throughout the whole process.

More than a decade later, we’re still in touch and regularly stop for a chat when we cross paths at conferences and professional events. I think that’s a testament not only to the quality of the support provided by Profile recruitment, but also to the relationships that are built here.

As the company I had been recruited for had a great career development programme and I found myself being given excellent opportunities with all necessary support. Throughout the years I progressed several steps. Looking back, I’m very grateful for that conversation all those years ago—it turned out to be one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made

I personally have worked with Dorinda for over 15 years, she has placed me and helped me recruit, her dedication to finding the right person that is not just a technical fit but culturally is what sets her apart. Recently Dorinda has hosted several networking events for the people in Inkjet around the Cambridge area, allowing further cross pollination of ideas and people, this is beyond the average recruiting process, this is a clear investment in knowledge of the industry she operates in and an understanding of the people she interacts with.

Dorinda is my go-to for recruitment, fun, bubbly, knowledgeable and outstandingly professional.

Dorinda Gibbons has been a trusted recruitment partner for our business. She listens carefully, understands our industry deeply, and consistently brings a creative and consultative approach to finding the right people. Every candidate we’ve appointed through Dorinda has become a valued contributor well beyond the scope of their original role. Profile Recruitment invite me to participate in networking events that they hold and these are always interesting and have led to some fruitful discussions with industry contacts old and new.

I first met Dorinda while attending a UK print seminar, where we began discussing my career and my future aspirations. We kept in touch, and at the right time Dorinda played an instrumental role in helping me secure not only the perfect role, but one within a great company that has provided me with the opportunity to grow and progress throughout the organisation.

I have worked with Dorinda at Profile recruitment for more than 10 years. In finding candidates, she not only factors in the “hard” skills required for a role, but also the personal and a cultural alignment. As a result, the candidates she has found for me and my team not only did a great job in the roles we recruited them for but also enriched our organisation with most developing into bigger roles. One specific area we worked together involved me setting up a new team to develop technical competence in an area that was new for us. We wanted to build a high level of skill and competence in order to be competitive in an evolving market. We populated the new team with existing staff and key hires aided by Dorinda. The team gelled quickly and built the products than now underpin a multi-million pound business.

Dorinda Gibbons from Profile Recruitment has been my first point of contact whenever I have been active in the job market, as well as when I have been recruiting for roles in the printing and converting industry. Her approach is consistently professional and structured.

She has strong insight into her niche market and is well connected, which makes her a valuable source of relevant and timely information. Conversations with her are always straightforward and constructive, and she is easy to exchange information with.

What stands out most is reliability. When she says she will come back with feedback or information, she follows through.

As a specialist recruiter in Digital Printing and Inkjet, Profile Recruitment has been an excellent source of new team members for us in a variety of roles. In the past year, Dorinda has helped us recruit two new team members in our Printhead Development and Manufacturing teams-both perfect pieces of the jigsaw that we had been searching for, and we are absolutely delighted with the outcome. Now we are expanding further we have reached out to Dorinda again and have high expectations for more quality candidates to join our growing team.

Profile are the company to use for recruitment in the inkjet industry! With excellent knowledge of the environment, business market and technical constraints, coupled with a thorough knowledge of compatible companies. They take the time to gain a full understanding of the client’s requirements and are fully committed to your mission and achieving the business objectives. I strongly recommend using Profile for any recruitment need in the inkjet industry.

Despite our joint concerns that this would be a difficult position to fill Dorinda found some good candidates for us, and we have had a successful outcome as a result because she completely understood our requirements.

The whole process went quickly and smoothly. We believe this was because Dorinda took the time to understand our company and how we work. She was always accessible through the recruitment process – even when she was supposed to be on holiday! She maintained contact with the candidates and us and responded promptly to any questions. She turned what could have been very difficult recruitment into a smooth and efficient process with a great outcome.

I have known Dorinda for a long time, she has always been very friendly and professional. She sees potential placements from the perspective of both the hirer and the candidate to ensure it is a good fit for both parties. I am happy to say that Dorinda placed me in my current position recently and regularly follows up to check that all is okay. I regard Dorinda as a friend and am very happy to see her continued success, it is very much deserved.

We started working with Profile Recruitment after connecting at events and through mutual contacts in the industry as we were looking to expand on our sales team.

Working in partnership with Profile was a smooth process and we were very happy with the work they did. The search for our new addition was very quick and gave us a great selection of people to interview, resulting in two final interviews of very high-quality candidates. We were so pleased with the candidates that we could have recruited them both!

Dorinda at Profile took time to understand our business and its needs, offering a personal service. We’ve had swift responses to any queries, and the candidate experience was very positive from the feedback we gained.

This is the first role we have worked on a retained / headhunt process with Profile and we look forward to the opportunity of using them again for future recruitment as their service saved us time and gave us top talent specifically with inkjet skills to help grow our business further.

I met Dorinda at TheIJC in 2019 and was very impressed with her professional and friendly approach. Her many years of experience in both recruitment and printing has made her well placed to run her own recruitment business which she does with growing success. The extensive network which Dorinda has created allows her to consistently achieve results for her clients by finding the right people for the right opportunities.

Based on its strong network and industry knowledge across digital print, Profile Recruitment is ideally equipped to help place the right candidate into the right position be it full-time, part-time or interim. I have worked with Dorinda Gibbons on interim placements and I have no hesitation in recommending her and the services of Profile Recruitment to employers and candidates alike.

Dorinda is a fantastic asset to the inkjet community. Dorinda often helps with connecting the right people together and has a great insight into companies’ needs from a recruitment perspective. Would happily recommend her services to your business.

I’ve always felt that the service I’ve received from Profile Recruitment has been incredibly personal, and over the many years we’ve been in regular contact I’ve come to regard Dorinda as a friend. The attention to detail is amazing, and I’ve always trusted that they would never put me forward for a role that wasn’t the right fit for me. Profile Recruitment took the time to really listen to my goals and what I wanted for the next chapter of my career and ultimately found the right people and the right place for me. What makes this even more special is that, although I wasn’t offered a role at my preferred company years ago, i’ve now ended up working there, and that is testament to the work they did in keeping me relevant and maintaining that relationship. I genuinely wouldn’t say there is anything they need to improve on; the service, personal approach and ongoing support have been exceptional.

Working with Dorinda has been amazing from the initial reach out to ensuring that all was going well on day 1 of the new role! It’s evident when talking to her that Dorinda is really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the industry. Communication was already prompt and clear; I never had any doubts about what was happening in the process, and I really appreciated the guidance throughout. I’ve been asked to think of suggestions for improvement, but I can’t think of any! Would wholeheartedly recommend her and Profile Recruitment in the future to anyone who is looking for a role in inkjet.

Excellent service! Dorinda communicated all the time, which is something I have not always experienced with recruitment consultants, even reminding me of the need to respond to an email sent during the weekend. I think in recruitment, the need to react quickly is essential as in today’s market or you can lose candidates to other companies, Dorinda was quick to respond to everything. The style of communication was always very professional and direct. Her advice was also appreciated throughout the process.

It is a very professional and personalised service from Profile. Really taking into account the needs of the company, but at the same time knowing what I was looking for. The advice you offer is outstanding and I can tell you are an expert in the digital printing and related industries. The communication and follow-up of the selection process with me has been very close and agile. At all times I have felt informed and I have known the stages of the process, as well as feeling that you cared about my needs.

I found Dorinda knowledgeable and explained the role and the company to me in detail. I like that Dorinda asked what I was looking for from my next opportunity to ensure it was a correct match for me. Dorinda had a lot of knowledge in the industry and gave me a real insight into the print world. Dorinda was there to help me prepare for interviews and sent me lots of really useful information.

Out of all the recruiters I have spoken to, I found Dorinda to be one of the best, she was friendly, informative, never lied (which I had in the past), knew the role in detail and was able to answer all my questions.

I really appreciated the open channel of communication I had with Dorinda; she was there to answer any questions. She knew the role and company well and could explain both to me in detail. Most of all I really appreciate that Dorinda was always honest about the role and never told me something it wasn’t like I have had from other recruiters in the past.

I have been more than happy with the service Profile provided and, in the manner, in which Dorinda managed the process. I felt the detail she went into to ensure my background and skill set matched her clients’ requirements was excellent, well above and beyond other recruitment agencies. The personal approach from Profile ensured that I was prepared for the interview and was pitched at the correct level unlike other agencies.

In working with Profile Recruitment, we found the service to be very well structured, helpful and a truly personal experience. The guidance we received from Dorinda was invaluable and was always there to offer help.

Dorinda does a sterling job, she’s knowledgeable of the role, and industry and very attentive and professional. She treated me like a person and not just a candidate that she wanted commission from. She was so attentive, and I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to many people.

Genuinely a first-class service with a personal touch. I felt that my own aspirations were listened to and incorporated into the recruitment criteria. This is so often missing as recruiters have a tendency to first and foremost, fill positions, with less regard to a candidate’s own considerations.

Dorinda is a reference in the world of digital printing and the way she relates to people is very professional and approachable. She makes follow-up calls to candidates to keep up to date with their goals and situation, as well as to give them feedback. When you work with her you can always be sure that she cares about you, makes an effort to understand your skills and experience, and makes sure that both the candidate and the company are a perfect match. I would certainly recommend working with her.

We were delighted to receive this testimonial from a candidate based in France who was recruited by one of our clients recently. “I just wanted to give you special congratulations for the excellent job. We were introduced by a mutual friend as I was searching for a new job. Since then you researched different positions and companies for me. It has been great, and I really enjoyed and appreciated the collaboration. You are a great professional, with lots of patience and talent. You perfectly understand the candidates in regards the possible job role. The way you work is simple, clear, and very well focused. I have faced lots of Headhunters over 2 years and hadn’t succeeded in finding a new job according to my expectations and to my skills. This is done now, and I really wanted to thank you very very much for this excellent job. Meantime we are living with the CORONAVIRUS, it was, and it has been very tough to find a job, to apply for it, and to get it. Finally, it is done. We succeeded together, thank you very much.

I have been working on digital printing for many years. One day got a message from Dorinda (Profile Recruitment) and my professional life start to change that day, she had a customer looking for a Field Engineer. During all the recruitment process Dorinda was there to advise me and be sure that all the details were taken care. I can’t think of anything that could have been change to improve it. She was amazing and diligent and I always will be grateful. If someone ask me if I know some recruitment company on the Digital Inkjet marked, I don´t need to think twice, Profile Recruitment is the answer.

Friendly, professional, and an invaluable person to have on your side. Dorinda was instrumental in helping me land my new dream job and I can firmly recommend her to future job seekers. She took the time to understand my strengths and skills and was able to secure me an interview very quickly. She then liaised with myself and the company to make sure everything went smoothly. Dorinda is someone who sincerely cares about her clients and will do the best for them. Highly recommended.

After many years in the digital printing industry, my role was suddenly made redundant. Profile Recruitment found the perfect role for me. Dorinda’s knowledge and experience in the industry is far-reaching and, through her contacts, secured interviews for me with several companies. As a candidate, Dorinda offered me invaluable advice on approaching interviews, not to mention her positive support and assiduous follow-ups with employers. During my search for a new challenge, I can say with all integrity that I have never worked with a more knowledgeable, professional and positive recruitment agent.

Using Profile Recruitment was such a great experience from start to finish. They took care of all the little details, ensuring that my future employer and I were much better prepared for the interview process. Communication was first rate and I can honestly say that they exceeded all my expectations and I am now looking forward to starting in my new role next month. Just perfect! Well done PR would highly recommend your service.

Profile Recruitment have been nothing short of fantastic. My contact has been very supportive, has kept me fully up-to-date and has maintained daily contact throughout. Cannot fault this company and would highly recommend if you’re after a reliable, honest and helpful service. Thank you so much.

I found the service from Profile to be fantastic, really helpful and open. I particular thought the friendliness and the ‘no question is a stupid question’ ideal.
