Fenton Short

I recently worked with Katie Blake and Fenton Short, who identified a position for me in engineering. They were incredibly diligent and communicative through the whole process and led to a successful job offer. I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone, be that an employer or candidate.

Zenopa are clearly ahead of the game when it comes to healthcare recruitment. The team had excellent communication and prepared me thoroughly for both stages of my application for a medical sales role, so I wanted to say a big thank you to them! If I ever need support securing a role in the life sciences or healthcare industry, I’ll definitely be coming back here.

Really great people who care about what exact role you're looking for. They take the time to help with interview prep and follow up with the companies you've applied to on how you did in the interviews, which is really useful. I've used quite a few different recruitment agencies, but these guys were much more efficient and organised and offered a wide range of positions of interest with some well-known organisations. Highly recommend!

Whilst I ultimately didn’t take a role that Zenopa found for me, my incredibly positive experience with them tells an important story about their approach and relationships. First things first, they immediately understood the type of roles I was interested in and had a clear appreciation of my background, what it offered any potential employer, and importantly for me, where I might thrive. Through the entire recruiting process they were second to none at keeping me up to date on feedback, while sharing their point of view given their knowledge of the clients, and they were excellent at keeping momentum going. When an offer came through, they were very straightforward with the salary negotiations and very good at giving context and framing realistic expectations. Perhaps the most impressive part of my dealings with Zenopa came when I didn’t then take the role. They were very open to understanding why, did not try to ‘sell’ the role further, but listened to my personal situation and helped communicate this to the employer to ensure that I came across well and not as a time-waster. All in all, they were consistently on the ball, but more than that, they showed huge understanding and empathy throughout. If I were ever to return to the UK and be looking for a role, Zenopa would be top of the phone list.

Zenopa have great instincts when it comes to matching people with roles - they look beyond skills to personality and life ambitions to ensure candidates land roles that will suit them in the long term. They are great sounding boards for questions from both clients and candidates, and will guide you through the process with patience and support.

I had the pleasure of working with Zenopa and cannot recommend them highly enough. They genuinely care about their candidates and put thought into why they'd like to move and what they're trying to achieve from their move. Not only did Zenopa provide me with detailed background knowledge of each company I was interviewing with (e.g., team structure, culture, location, etc.), but they also acknowledged when they didn't think a company would be right for me. As well as an introductory call, I spoke with a member of the team before and after each of my interviews, and I felt thoroughly supported by them throughout the entire process. She gave me solid, honest advice and acted towards me and the companies she represents with complete integrity.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Zenopa for all of the help and advice you gave me in the build-up to my two interviews and ultimate success in gaining employment. I first made contact with Zenopa in mid-December 2012, having been told that I was being made redundant from my last job. We talked about the type of role I would like and the possibility of moving into the Device market. During the build-up to the first interview, my Account Manager talked through the competencies in depth and prepared scenarios and also talked in depth about how I would verbalise my desire to change from Pharma into Devices. My Account Manager also provided invaluable help with my presentation for the second interview. I am so delighted with my new role, salary and opportunity and would like to say a huge, big thank you for Zenopa's support during the process!
