Testimonials
Being our first venture in to the world of care options it took us a while to work out exactly what we needed. Having settled on a non agency route it quickly became apparent through word of mouth recommendations that placing an advert in The Lady was the most likely route to success. After submitting our carefully worded submission online for a minimum 3 month advert, we started receiving responses with CV’s and photos the very next day. We received 20 responses in the first 4 weeks and found a heaven sent candidate who started a few weeks later providing exactly the type of care we had hoped for. In all we received 60 responses. The Lady was helpful throughout. It cost more than I had thought but the quality of the responses were generally excellent, certainly money well spent.

Thank you - the process was very straight-forward and we had a huge number of responses - met some lovely applicants and have recruited somebody who will hopefully be ideal for the role.
Jemima
We used The Lady to advertise for a housekeeper for a private household in Hampshire, the process was easy and straightforward with good support from the magazine. The standard of applicant was high and we successfully filled the post, we will be using The Lady again for any future recruitment needs.
Estate Manager from Hampshire
Yes, the job was filled via The Lady. We were very pleased with the response and had many really good applications.
Tracey
Our 2023 tea towel arrived today, and my wife Betsy is absolutely delighted with it. She was equally happy with the handwritten note that accompanied the towel - If I may resort to an Americanism, The Lady is one classy outfit!

I'm so glad I used your service. It has all been so easy.

We had such a great response from our advert with The Lady and have been recommending this route of advertising to others as it brought us the best calibre candidates after months of trying other avenues.

I have been completely overwhelmed by the response. I've had over 100 applicants!!! Replying to them has been a full-time job and I haven't finished it yet. I will definitely use The Lady in the future.

A big thank you for all your expert help and hand-holding - invaluable!
Mr H, full-service client
I am one of The Lady's live-in carers and I want to congratulate your agency for the exceptional way you offer your services, providing 24-hour care for your clients. I have been a 24-hour carer for 10 years. The Lady is the first care recruitment agency I have registered with, and the team conduct themselves in a very professional manner.
One of our candidates
Your team have been fantastic. During what was a long search I always felt they put my needs first, rather than just sending any old candidate!
D S
We have advertised with the Lady before but were hugely impressed with not only the value of the online advertising but critically the impact. We got a huge selection of relevant responses and have now filled the position with an excellent candidate. I would definitely recommend it
Jon
I am delighted to say that we have found our ideal candidate for the position advertised (they discovered the vacancy through The Lady, no less) and so the current advert will be our last for now with regards to House Manager. We will, of course - following the success of this advertisement for us - look to you in the future for any vacancies or press releases (if that is of interest)
Ross
We have always been very happy with the swift response of the sales team. We were pleased with the responses to the advert and would be very happy to use The Lady for advertising for household positions in the future.

We had an excellent response and would definitely use your services again. We have filled the vacancy.

It's been hugely successful with some great candidates coming forward for the position.
Hollie
We placed an advert with The Lady, online and in one issue, and received a superb response with several promising candidates for the position. We are in the process of interviewing now and have high hopes we will find the right person from the replies received.
Kate
I have to say the downside of internet advertising is you get loads of applications from people in far-away lands who want to come here. But yes, The Lady found the right candidate, so thanks!
John
The best jobs board which fills jobs which others completely failed to do. Expensive but the best.
R.R.
We had a number of roles that needed to be advertised. Using The Lady was very easy, I simply sent them the job description and they handled the advertisement in print and also online. I was pleasantly surprised by how many responses we had to our adverts. I would absolutely use The Lady again, and Andrea was joy to deal with.
Adam
We are very grateful to The Lady's team for their careful work, and very much enjoyed dealing with them too.
Full-service client
My grateful thanks. You and your team at The Lady are supreme and extremely efficient.

Thank you for the magnificent service that you have provided us with throughout 2020. We had a super and well-coordinated care team in place, which Dad really appreciated.
I B, full-service client
We've been very impressed with the standard and professionalism of your service, and would certainly recommend you for anyone looking for staff!
Lavinia
Thank you for the first-rate service we received from when we placed our advertisement in your magazine. From the outset you dealt with this in a most confidential and efficient manner, providing a great many suitable contenders and we were most impressed with the high calibre of these. As a result, we were able to interview those we short-listed and have since offered the role to the excellent successful applicant who is due to commence employment shortly. Would not hesitate to recommend your services. Thank you again
Linda
Brilliant response from some high calibre candidates. We have found a great couple, starting soon. Great value for money
David
Although at first glance it seemed expensive, placing an advert in The Lady magazine was the best thing I could have done. I was looking for a companion for my elderly mother and I was astounded at the number of responses - all very good quality and including a CV and sometimes even references to make the job of sifting through them easier. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this publication when it comes to advertising for domestic positions.
Ruth
Thank you very much, you will always be our ‘go to’
Cindy
We have been exceptionally happy with the number of responses we have had to our recent advertising for a live-in carer for my Aunt. Not only have the applicants been very well qualified and suited to the role but we have received far more than we expected - for some ads (we placed 3 at different times) we have had over 40 responses. Many thanks for all your help and that of the team at The Lady.
D.P.
I would like to say how helpful advertising in the Lady Magazine for a housekeeper/companion has been. I have had many replies which have been suitable and I have now selected a delightful lady who I hope will stay with me for a long time.
C F
I'm very impressed with the effective way the sales team dealt with my request, helping me with the content and making suggestions. The response to the advert has been well above my expectations in terms of both quantity and quality, and has led to a successful recruitment. I would certainly use The Lady again should I need domestic support.
R.O.
It was lovely working with your staff, they were very accommodating.
Full-service client
Well done again for your excellent instincts!
S C, returning full-service client
Thank you for your swift approach to help us with recruiting. We are registered with three other top agencies, but you are the only one who proactively recruited, and I will most definitely return to you for any and all our staff needs in the future.
Full-service client
Thank you for finding - and in such short order - a wonderfully interesting and capable companion for our mother. We found her relaxed, kind and. A very impressive person. We are so very grateful to you for your amazing work!
E T, full-service client
I am delighted to say I have found a candidate through my advert with the Lady - by far the best way, all the agencies were so slow bringing applicants forward
Natasha
The advertisement proved to be very helpful. I received a lot of replies and we have already engaged one of the applicants and who was a success. There were also a number of others who looked suitable and whom I have e-mailed to say that we had engaged someone for our initial requirement but I might well be in touch if the requirement arises in the future. Many have written back to say that is fine. I do not think therefore that I wish at this stage to renew the advertisement. It has been a pleasure to deal with your company
Ian
Many thanks for all your excellent help and support with our search. All very much appreciated.
