I have had the pleasure of working with Leanne Sangster as my recruiter at Grays Agency, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication and professionalism. In an industry where personal attention and commitment can sometimes be lacking, Leanne truly stands out.
Unlike most recruitment agencies, Leanne goes above and beyond to ensure her clients find the perfect roles. She invested significant time and effort into understanding my skills, goals, and aspirations, which translated into tailored job opportunities that matched my profile perfectly.
What truly sets Leanne apart is her exceptional communication skills. She is incredibly responsive to emails and calls, always ensuring that I was informed and supported throughout the recruitment process. Her ability to address any concerns or questions promptly is a testament to her commitment to her clients' success.
Leanne Sangster's genuine dedication to helping her clients succeed is truly commendable. She takes the time to understand your needs and works tirelessly to connect you with the right opportunities. If you are seeking a recruiter and are struggling to find a role short term/long term , Leanne Sangster is the ideal choice.
I am immensely grateful for Leanne's assistance in helping me secure my current role, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a dedicated and effective recruiter.
Taneen Sept 2023 Had the pleasure and honour to work with Leanne when I was looking for new role in Libraries. New to contracting and agency work I am endlessly grateful to Leanne for her patience, knowledge, gentle encouragement and genuine kindness. Really couldn't ask for a better recruitment consultant. She was promoted to associate director during the year I worked with her and it was well deserved. To anyone looking for a new role, definitely go with Gray Associates and also put a reminder in your phone so your timesheets are on time!
Claire Sept 2023 Leanne has been very responsive and provided us with very good candidates. Leanne understands requirements, listens carefully and comes back with actions and solutions straight away. Leanne is professional and very approachable, providing suitable solutions to meet strict deadlines. I will have no reservation in working with Leanne again.

JV (UCL) Jul 2023 Leanne was extremely helpful in helping me find a position while I was searching for job opportunities. She responded to my emails and queries very promptly and was always professional and friendly.
I would highly recommend Leanne and Gray and Associates Recruitment Services if you are looking for new job opportunities!
Ciaran Jul 2023 Thanks to Sian for turning around my temp role at the Alan Turing Institute so quickly – couldn’t ask for a more friendly and high quality experience than I had!
Cheryl Jul 2023 I've had such a positive experience since I signed up with Grays in April 2023. My contact, Sian Griffiths, one of the Talent Acquisition Team, was brilliant with getting me started on completing the registration process, then helping to find jobs in this sector. She has been very professional and easy to talk to whenever I had a query. You never felt like you were being pressured into accepting something you were not really interested in. Within a very short time, I had been offered a role and was back in employment after having taken some time away from work. Great, quick turnaround. Would highly recommend signing up with Grays if the education sector is what you're interested in.
Stephanie June 2023 I am writing to recommend Gray & Associates Recruitment Services to anyone who is looking for a new job. I had the pleasure of working with Sian from G&A to find a new role, and I was very impressed with her service. The first thing that I noticed about Sian and G&A was their professionalism. They were very responsive to my enquiries, and they always kept me up-to-date on the status of my application. They also took the time to understand my needs and goals, and they made sure to match me with roles that were a good fit for me. Another thing that I appreciated was their personal touch. They weren't just interested in filling a job opening; they were interested in helping me find a role that would make me happy. They took the time to get to know me, and they were always there to answer my questions and provide me with support. I am happy to say that I was eventually offered a job through G&A, and I am now very happy in my new role. I would definitely recommend Sian and G&A to anyone who is looking for a new job. They are a professional and personal agency that is committed to helping their clients find the right fit. Here are some specific things that I appreciated about G&A:
1. Their responsiveness: They were always quick to respond to my emails and calls.
2. Their understanding of my needs: They took the time to understand my skills, experience, and goals.
3. Their personal touch: They weren't just interested in filling a job opening; they were interested in helping me find a role that would make me happy.

Overall, I had a very positive experience with Sian and G&A. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new job.
Michael June 2023 I first started temping with Gray & Associates around 4 years ago and I can honestly say that they're the best agency I've dealt with. I've been temping for almost 20 years now and have been signed up with some of the big agencies, but none of those provide anywhere near as good a service as Gray & Associates. From 2019-2021, they kept me consistently in back to back roles at UCL. When one contract ended, they already had another one lined up for me so I was never out of work. Many of my roles were also extended, with one that was meant to be 6 weeks becoming an 18 month booking. Everyone in the team is really friendly, professional and helpful and I can always count on them to get whatever I need done and resolve the very few issues that come up very quickly. I took a fixed term contract and stopped temping for 15 months, but as soon as I notified them I was available for work again, they had secured a new temp postion for me in 3 days! Honestly couldn't ask for more and couldn't be happier with the service I receive and I would highly recommend to anyone!
Gina June 2023 I found Leanne when looking for temp roles at UCL University. Even though I was not under employment with Leanne and Gray Recruitment, Leanne took a good amount of time speaking to me both initially and afterwards, to advise me on my rights as a temp worker. Leanne advised and supported me on a couple of difficult points that cropped up, regarding holiday pay and gave me some excellent advice on how to handle and problem solve the obstacles. I am very grateful, as she was willing to do this even though I was not employed by Gray's agency at the time. Leanne also takes time to find out what you are after jobwise and what you are interested in, as well as your experience, and goes above and beyond, to enquire more information from employers, so that I was able to make a solid decision. I have just finished a long continually extended temp role at UCL, which was made extra successful, with Leanne's advice, so thank you Leanne. I hope to work via Gray Recruiment sometime. I fully recommend Leanne, her willingness to share knowledge for tricky times, was invaluable. Thank you.
Abigail June 2023 I thoroughly recommend Gray & Associates. They spent time to help me prepare for my interviews and have been very supportive throughout my temporary employment. Thank you for being so brilliant!
Karen Apr 2023 I have had a wonderful experience working with Christina over the past 3 years and have experienced tremendous personal and professional growth in various areas such as leadership, communication skills and relational skills. The team at Gray & Associates was always very proactive. Leanne was an absolute star as well.
Christina was always there and ready if I needed any support or have any questions that needed answer. The amount of support that I received from Christina during the COVID-19 and to bring my family to join me in the UK goes without saying. The level of attention, caring and kindness was excellent.
I wish you and the entire team at Gray & Associates Recruitment Services continued success.
Job Apr 2023 Leanne is an absolutely outstanding recruiter. I have been thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and integrity, which have undoubtedly contributed to her success in the field.
One of the key qualities that I appreciate about her is her honesty. She is always upfront and transparent about the recruitment process, ensuring that both the client and the candidate are fully informed and aware of what to expect. She has an excellent understanding of the market and can quickly identify the right candidate for the right job.
I must also commend her for the way she treats candidates with respect and dignity. She understands that the recruitment process can be a challenging and stressful time for candidates, and she goes out of her way to make them feel valued and supported.
I wholeheartedly endorse Leanne to anyone in search of an excellent recruitment professional. She is a true asset to the industry and sets the bar high for others to follow.
Sonia Apr 2023 I would like to commend the diligent and delightful team at Gray & Associates for their commitment to excellence and for their outstanding service when supporting clients in every conceivable way. Gray & Associates is an exceptional independent recruitment agency that ensures clients are well prepared before, during and after the recruitment process for a suitable professional role.
I especially appreciate how friendly and supportive all the consultants at Gray & Associates are - in particular, Gino and Leanne, who constantly go above and beyond to ensure that I am found a suitable role where I can bring value and my expansive skillset in the best way possible to any team.

Haleemat Mar 2023 I'm very grateful to Leanne who has helped me find a job role which fits my skills and experience. Leanne and the team have been so helpful, supportive and responsive all the way. I have been registered to a few agencies before but this has definitely been the smoothest and most professional one by far, I highly recommend them!
Sara March 2023 Leanne Sangster is highly professional, reliable, friendly and really helpful. I registered with the agency in January but then got a role elsewhere, which wasn’t a good fit for me.
I contacted Leanne last Wednesday to update her on my current situation and she discussed a registration officer role with me, which I was very interested in! I secured an interview for the Friday that same week and got the job the same day!! Leanne you are a star and amazing! I would recommend her service and also the rest of the team at Gray & Associates Recruitment Services.
Simone Mar 2023 I would like to say thanks to Leanne and the team. Whilst I was searching for good opportunities, Leanne contacted me and after few weeks I have an opportunity in my hands. I didn't expect this so quickly. She is also responsive all the time. Right now, I have a good opportunity (Temp role) which has been provided by Gray & Associates. I would like continue one after another. I highly recommend Leanne and team for good opportunities.
Thank you Leanne!
Kumar Mar 2023 I have worked with Leanne and Grays for over 7 years. As a hiring manager, she engages with us proactively, and even where I have moved discipline within HE, she has understood the needs of the organisation, what type of person we are looking for and how to fill out contingent worker needs effectively. Grays has and continues to be our go too agency for HE roles. She is efficient and fast, flexible and compassionate and is extremely customer orientated. I wouldn't even hesitate in recommending, and I have done so both for other hiring managers and individuals looking to join an agency.
Ben W Mar 2023 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.
Nina Dec 2022 My career wouldn’t be the same without Christina. Amazing at what she does. Thank you!
Arran Dec 2022 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.
