Welcome to Gray & Associates

It has been a pleasure to work with Leanne at Grays. She was always responsive and helpful - not something you’d be able to say for many recruitment firms, especially as a temp! Leanne went above and beyond to ensure my experience as a temp was smooth and hassle free. Leanne and the team at Grays do an incredible job; the service that they provide doesn’t go unnoticed and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

My career wouldn’t be the same without Christina. Amazing at what she does. Thank you!

I have worked with Leanne and her colleagues at Grays as both an employer and a job seeker and can confidently say that she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Leanne's eye for detail means that she is able to find great matches for both those who are seeking temporary work and those who are seeking temporary employees. Not an easy task, I'm sure. However, it will be almost effortless for yourself, as Leanne keeps you updated throughout the process, asks the right questions to find exactly what you need, and is quick and efficient in finding it. She's completely brilliant and it would be the right choice to work with her.

Professional, supportive and encouraging are the words that spring to mind when I think about Christina. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Christina for over 3 years now, as well being a client of Gray & Associates. Above all, I was impressed with Christina’s ability to support and guide me during my own personal recruitment process, and most importantly her ability to provide the organisation I work for with such a high calibre of staff, the scrutiny that takes place when finding the correct applicant for a specific role is second to none. Christina has the professional acumen to understand and have the foresight to know what and who would be best placed for her clients and job seekers alike. I would strongly recommend Christina and her recruitment agency, she’s amazing!!

Leanne is like the BIG sister you never thought you needed or had in this big wide world of commerce, who sees your potential before you even realise it has arrived, supporting you every step of the way, in being able to identify your strengths and skills and affording you the encouragement to move forward in your career with the utmost confidence. Leanne’s encouragement is never ending, always going far beyond the call of duty whenever life throws you a curve ball. Not just Leanne, but the whole Team at Gray & Associates have been supporting my working life for almost 10 years now, and I can say, without reservation, their support and professionalism has only gained in stature with each passing year, making this Agency one of the very best on the market to work for.

Leanne Sangster is highly professional, efficient, reliable and competent in her provision. She is very personable and I wholeheartedly recommend her service and that of Gray & Associates Recruitment Services.

Leanne is a true professional, so friendly and helpful. She kept me updated throughout the process and went above and beyond her role as Senior Manager to secure my current position as PA. Her negotiation skills are amazing and her customer care, caring. Thanks a lot Leanne am so happy to be recommending you. I know you’ll keep up the great work as that’s the sort of person you are!

This is my first time working with Gray & Associates. I highly recommend them to any job seeker. I would like to thank Leanne for her prompt actions and taking the extra mile on a few occasions whenever I had any issue. I find the agency very pleasant to work with and I’m delighted that I have registered with a professional and positive agency like Gray & Associates. Thanks for your time and support.

Leanne and Amani for Gray and Associates have been absolutely outstanding in finding me the perfect and most suitable role for me. They’ve constantly stuck their necks out for me to make sure that I’m placed in a role and have always believed in me and helped me to the best of their ability and I’m very grateful to be here with Gray and Associates.

I have worked with Leanne on and off since 2016 (if not longer), and really value how Leanne operates more as a mentor, helping to identify strengths in my skills and experiences, and competencies. Very responsive and empathic, Leanne is always on hand to provide impartial advice and solutions. As such, if I ever require short-term work, I always email Leanne as my preferred agency.

I have received outstanding support, advice and professional service from Leanne during my time at Grays. Always available and approachable, thinking out of the box and finding solutions for any issue which may arise during a mission with a client. I have used many recruitment agencies in the past, Gray Agency being the best on the market for higher education roles and I was very impressed, from application to placement, timesheet processing, payment, etc. I have now secured a permanent role which was originally a placement with Grays, so I am grateful to Leanne for all her hard work and dedication, and the positive change and outcome it had in my personal life and career. I highly recommend!

I have actually worked with a few different recruitment agencies and each time, I myself, would be doing all the chasing for timesheets, payments, information, waiting for them to reply back to my emails and calls and basically everything else. Amani was/is my recruitment advisor, though I don't doubt anyone who works here is helpful. The level of service I received from Amani was outstanding. I have never worked with a recruitment agency where someone has; not only answered all my questions and explained everything to me, but given me their complete and absolute time and focus. From day one she explained everything to me, all processes and procedures and in thorough detail, leaving me with no questions at all to ask. Any questions I did have, I would call and email Amani and I would, without delay, always receive a 'quick' reply or call back. This company's service is tailored to give each individual the time, focus and attention they deserve and this is why I said I have never received this level of service from any other recruitment company before. They are also professional, patient and respectful, which is not something I have experienced with other recruitment agencies I have worked with in the past. I believe that, though at present Gray & Associates Recruitment Services are a small, independent company, herein lies their Greatest Strength, as this has enabled them to give each individual they work with their undivided time and attention. 'Thank you Amani', your service to me has been nothing short of ‘amazing’ (honestly) and to all those at this company who have helped me, very quickly, every-single time, thank you.

As someone who has used a variety of agents I found Gray & Associates Recruitment Services and Sian in particular to be thorough professionals. Compared to other agencies they kept me informed promptly of any developments and managed to find me a role within a week of joining!

From our first conversation Leanne was brilliant in introducing me to Grays and higher education. She engaged proactively, kept me aprised at every stage even whilst going on leave, she made sure I was looked after by the team. During the job search, I spoke to plenty of agencies but Leanne and the team surpassed them all! The candidate portal to onboard is super simple - all round great service. Also loving my new role!! 👍 Thank you Leanne!!

Christina professionalism is outstanding; Christina is caring to each one of her clients. I would highly recommend using her services. If you want five star services look no further.

This is the first time I've temped for Gray Agency and from the first interview with Amani, I felt welcomed and valued as an individual. Amani always followed up with a friendly message and made a point of checking-in to see how things are going. I really appreciate Amani's help in finding me a temp role and would definitely recommend her and Gray Agency to other job seekers.

I had the pleasure of working with Leanne whilst doing temporary work with Grays. I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better manager than Leanne, who brought me on to Grays two years ago and immediately found me a great role in higher education. I was constantly amazed by her energy, work ethic and efficient approach to communication. And I will certainly miss working with her and the rest of the Grays. I wholeheartedly recommend Leanne and I think anyone would be fortunate for the opportunity to work with her at Grays.

Five star service! Leanne has worked tirelessly to find the perfect candidate, each time, for my department. She is professional and efficient in her handling of the assignments and the candidates/agency workers!

Leanne's quick action to help us recruit a temporary role holder saved us from what could have been a painful period of vacancy. Leanne clearly has a good understanding of the Higher Education sector and quickly grasped the role we were recruiting for and understood the type of person that would be needed to fill such a complex role. I felt like I did very little of the work, which is so appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with Leanne again. Many thanks to her and the team at Gray & Associates Recruitment Services.

I have nothing but good things to say about Leanne Sangster and the team at Gray and Associates. Having temped for nearly six years and having worked with several agencies, my experience with Grays has definitely been the best of the lot. Processes and the pay structures are transparent and easy to understand. With some agencies I've worked with, pay slips often left me confused: never being able to completely understand the logic behind the amount of deductions being made. Gray's pay slips, on the other hand, are clear, and I never was in doubt about what amount of pay would be going into my account each week. The Grays website is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and it's always up to date. Unlike the websites of many agencies, jobs that are no longer available are removed from the site. I would not hesitate to accept the chance of working with Grays again in the future.
