“Why would we go anywhere else if we’re getting exactly what we need from the agency?
Dovetail & Slate hit the nail on the head every time. The consultants are patient, respectful of our time, and approachable. They understand us and know what we need. It’s a partnership as opposed to a transactional relationship.
We are so grateful for the work everyone puts in and we look forward to working with Dovetail further.”

“Dovetail & Slate have not just met, but exceeded my expectations. Their commitment to their word was initially surprising, given the challenges we have faced in the past.
The partnership has been transformative, enhancing the experience for both staff and students.
Their transparency about candidates, including strengths and areas for development, enables us to onboard and provide tailored support effectively. We trust them to deliver – and trust between an agency and a college is imperative.”

“”During the 15 years I have worked in education, I have worked with various employment agencies. Since working with Dovetail & Slate, we have received a unique service offer that I haven’t really experienced before.
Candidates are readily available, even in cases of hard-to-fill roles, for example, in construction. Pricing is standardised, transparent and competitive, and the consultants’ work is often overseen by the CEO, who ensures high levels of quality.
Wherever we have identified issues, Dovetail have been attentive and swift to resolve any problems. As a result of this, we continue to have an effective working partnership.”
