R&D Partners Reviews 

I had a really positive experience with R&D Partners throughout my recruitment process. The team was very professional, supportive, and kept me informed every step of the way.

What stood out most was how personable and proactive Chris was. He was Truely brilliant! He took the time to understand my experience and career goals, and kept in touch throughout the journey. Thanks to his support I secured my current role.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and would highly recommend R&D Partners to anyone looking for a professional recruitment agency that truly cares about its candidates and clients.

I had a really good recruitment experience with R&D Partners. Antony was very kind and communicated well with me. He really did his best to answer my questions and clear up any concerns I had. I especially appreciated his honesty and the fact that it felt like he really wanted me to make a best carrer move for me, rather than pushing for what would benefit him. This has definitely caused me to trust him more. I also appreciated his patience when it came to answering my questions regarding the contract and even being willing to help me negotiate some changes. Overall, that was the best experience with a recruiter I have had so far.

Jacob is a top-level headhunter who understands the requirements of his clients and the profile of the candidate. Getting a match not only on the paper, but in fluent and honest conversation with the candidate. It was an authentic pleasure to meet him and help both client and me.

Quick responses and updates from Elliot. Always having the candidates best interests at heart.

Mandi is very nice, he walked me through the recruitment process well.

I have recently worked with R&D partners trying to secure my next role in Human Resources. From start to finish my experience was beyond positive, personable and honest. I had the pleasure of working with Henry who not only promptly kept me informed throughout the recruitment process , he offered reassurance , guidance and support from day one. Working with R&D partners, especially Henry made securing my dream role a reality.

Communication with my representative was clear and prompt throughout. There was a small issue where some job details were shared incorrectly, but it was resolved quickly and the necessary adjustments were made during onboarding. Overall, I’d recommend their service.

I had a great experience with Billy O’Brien and the R&Partner team throughout my job search process. From the initial application screening call to the final stages of securing the role, Billy provided consistent guidance and practical insights at every step. He showed clarity, responsiveness, and readiness to answer all my questions without hesitation. The assistance provided for interview preparation was notably beneficial—targeted and tailored to the essential aspects.
Overall, the process felt structured and well-supported, which made a real difference in helping me land the job. Highly recommended for anyone seeking straightforward and reliable recruitment support.

The overall experience was very positive. The recruiter maintained clear and timely communication throughout the process and demonstrated a strong understanding of my profile and expectations. The process was transparent, and I was consistently informed about next steps and timelines.

Overall, I would highly recommend working with this recruiter and would be happy to collaborate again in the future.

R&D Partners provided highly professional support throughout the entire recruiting process.

I had a great experience working with R&D Partners over the past year. The level of professionalism, support, and consistent communication was excellent throughout.

In particular, I would like to highlight the incredible support from Seb Rose. He went above and beyond in following my case, remaining proactive, responsive, and thoughtful at every stage. He was always willing to explore solutions and offer clear advice and steady encouragement.

I genuinely felt part of a team throughout the process and am very grateful for Seb's commitment, transparency, and dedication. I would highly recommend R&D Partners to anyone seeking a professional and supportive recruitment partner.

I had the pleasure of working with Seb from R&D Partners during my recent placement, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me secure the right opportunity.

Seb provided consistent encouragement throughout the process and was an excellent steward and advocate on my behalf. He communicated clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and offered thoughtful guidance that boosted my confidence.

I’m very grateful for his support and would gladly work with him again in the future.

My experience working with R&D, especially with Terra was outstanding. She was transparent, supportive, and highly professional throughout the entire recruitment process. She provided clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and valuable preparation for each stage, while maintaining a genuine and human approach. I felt fully supported from start to finish, and I truly appreciate her dedication and commitment to finding the right fit.

The experience I had was favourable, I was ably guided through the recruitment process by a gentleman called Bill.
Bill had reached out to me on my initial application to convey the particulars of the job role, the company it was with, and its overall culture as a manufacturing concern. Bill made job specifications and interview preparation material available to me so that I could relate my prior work experience to potential future employment. Bill made time available in his schedule to help with the interview preparation during a telephone call by posing interlocutary questions common to an interview. I got the impression his working relationship with the client was of a very high caliber. For this role the recruitment process was by necessity quite protracted. I was therefore very grateful that Bill kept me fully informed with regards to its progression on a regular basis. I was appreciative also that I could call his office in real-time and touch base regarding pre-employment.

I would like to sincerely recommend Terrah. She was incredibly helpful and supportive at every stage of the recruitment process. Thank you for all your assistance — I truly appreciate it and highly recommend R&D partner's services.

I began job hunting in February 2025 and I found the process incredibly tough, when compared to a few years ago, even for someone who had accumulated more experience. Far fewer positions were advertised this year but your colleagues, Seb and Ed, were able to match my skills to the relevant opportunities, presented the best features of my professional experience to potential employers and secured interviews.

The professional help I received from Seb and Ed was first class. They helped me research and prepare for every interview, came up with strategies for dealing with scenarios, sought feedback from interview panels, and above all, offered encouragement when the end result was disappointing (and frustratingly, we found out later that I came close to getting an offer). One cannot expect to be successful in every interview, but your colleagues turned each disappointment into a development opportunity so that I was better prepared for the next one.

I have had a few ups and downs in my career and the help I received, at both professional and personal level, from Seb and Ed was second to none. They went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful for this.

It was a pleasure working with Antonia. Would definitely recommend and use Hobson prior again in the future if needed!

Will and Hobson Prior helped pair me with a fantastic career opportunity! He and the team ensure the entire process was well communicated and I felt prepared from start to finish. Absolutely a gem within the life sciences profession. Thank you!

I worked with Hobson Prior to find a role after moving back to Ireland after some time abroad. Throughout the process I worked with Antonia who was fantastic to work with. She was friendly, supportive, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. She always kept me informed without needing to chase, and she took the time to understand my situation. She made the process so much easier and less stressful. I really appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her.

Hopson Prior supported me in a professional and timely manner. Their team members worked efficiently, communicated clearly and guided me through each step of the process, making the entire experience smooth and well-organized.
