I was introduced to Marcel at Firstcall last year through a friend as I was thinking, but also unsure about leaving my current employment which I had been at for many years. Instead of being 'pushy' as some recruitment agencies can come across as, he asked why I was unhappy with in my current job and took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve. Marcel listened and we kept in contact for many months and waited until I was ready to make the big step. Because he knew exactly what my skills were and what I was looking for to progress in my career path, he set up interviews perfectly suited to me (and during lockdown). I was also given advice before the interviews and was updated regularly with feedback.
Unfortunately my first job did not work out. I contacted Marcel again and he prioritised me to find me something quickly and since he already knew my skills and what I wanted, he set up again many interviews/opportunities suited to me. Within a week I was offered a new job with excellent careers prospects. I am so happy and grateful for Firstcall for all their help and have already recommended to them to my friends who are in a similar situation as I was.
Thank you, Marcel and team!

Fantastic old world charm with great service from start to finish.
Friendly staff made sure we had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Bit of a climb up the hill to the hotel from the harbour but worth it for the views and location!

Fantastic staff, definitely five-star
Hotel position really good too
Food and drink very good, and value for money too
The hotel's environment is lovely, but in need of a little investment in parts
The lounges and brasserie are very comfortable
Parking is a little precarious!. Best left to valet parking. That service is good too!
Overall, a fabulous island, and a hotel which does credit to it

We enjoyed our 4 nights at OGH after the recent opening of the island to vaccinated travellers.
The staff were all so friendly, efficient and considerate. It’s very hard to pin point anyone exemplary. Ursula is a great asset at reception with her welcoming smile and efficiency.
Roberto did an amazing job securing a horse and carriage in Sark for us whilst only three carriages were operating out of the 12.
Evan at the bar looked after us on our arrival day and was always smiling and engaging.
Tatiana in the restaurant was always friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed the breakfast selection something for everyone of the highest quality, eggs Benedict exceptional, the summer fruits, Greek yoghurt, bread and croissants were exceptional.
We enjoyed our meal in the curry room a nice experience.
It was very impressive on check out day that housekeeping management and staff were near our room and unprompted they asked if we needed any help with our luggage- that really is a sign of well trained, motivated staff passionate about the guest experience.
We hope to return to OGH one day. The island surpassed our expectations in terms of wide range of excellent and not good expensive restaurants with interesting things to do. The locals are very friendly, chatty and helpful.

I just simply want to say "THANK YOU" for all these years of assistance and professionalism. Not many recruiters make time to provide candidates with basic job tips, constant feedback and an exhibition of hope as you have done all this while. You demonstrate empathy with consideration to the "HUMAN" element in "Human Resource" whilst maintaining a good relationship with your clients and do not solely focus on just acquiring the "Resource".
It may surprise you to know that in my jurisdiction, I have identified some mutual connections who have also shared similar experiences with you. I am extremely grateful for your support and do hope that your efforts are deservingly recognised by your organization.

In July 2021, siforest65 said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
Absolutely loved this place. We stayed for a week as soon as they reopened. We felt really welcome and the customer facing management team are such a nice bunch of people . Obviously reopening after such a long closure gave some teething issues but we found all the staff keen to please and engage. Checking in and out was very easy abd the flexibility shown with a late checkout was much appreciated.
The cleanliness of hotel and standard of housekeeping was fantastic and it was lovely to return there after a day or evening out.
The bar and restaurant are welcoming and we ate there several evenings and were well looked after.
I wish the hotel and staff every success as they hopefully open up more as summer progresses.

Visited here today for an afternoon tea as we are in Guernsey on our honeymoon.
For £28 each this was very good value! The food was delicious, and plentiful! We had to take a number of the sweets away with us as we couldn’t finish them.
The staff knew it was our honeymoon so they gave us each a complimentary glass of champagne and a complimentary dish of macaroons and berries.
Service was impeccable! Highly recommend.
