Essential Results: not like other recruitment agencies…

We understand the need to achieve the correct results and outcomes rather than activity alone. You’ll find that we work with you as a team, with integrity and energy.

Our professional and friendly approach sets us apart from our competition.

Essential Results has been established in Hertfordshire for over ten years. We are a lead player in the Stevenage recruitment market and remain consistently focussed on working with exceptional companies. You are our priority. Our independence frees us from the pressures of national chains’ targets. We have the flexibility and control to truly put our clients first.

How we work…

We adopt a responsive and professional approach to both permanent and temporary roles. Nothing is too much of a challenge and we really do listen – very carefully – to your needs! All consultants have a full understanding of the recruitment process and manpower planning for both long and short-term solutions.

We have successfully placed hundreds of candidates, many of whom are still in contact with Essential Results.

We do not waste our time in annoying sales calls, pretentious mission statements, or trying to re-invent the wheel. We simply work very hard to provide the right people in the right place at the right time for the right price.

Through positive feedback from our clients and candidates we have earned our reputation for hard work, professionalism… and results. We are proud of our longstanding relationships with our clients… this shows that our approach works! Our aim is to continue to provide an accountable and tailored service to clients and candidates alike.


Essential Results Recruitment is committed to providing a professional responsive and forward thinking service. We will make it our business to align ourselves with your own programmes and understand your concerns, whilst innovating and bringing something to the table.

We Get Results.

Our applicants all have thorough face to face interviews before the decision is taken to work with them as candidates. Our registration process enables our consultants to determine their skills, experience, personality and qualities. This knowledge is key to ensuring that the candidate will fit in quickly and add real value to your company.

As a Professional Recruitment Service, all quality procedures involving the recruitment of personnel, such as reference checking, verification of work history, skills matching and eligibility to work are strictly adhered to, thus allowing us to eliminate many of the obvious issues associated with the poor matching of candidates, such as reliability and appropriate skill sets.

We understand that one of the biggest commitments you will make as a business is the investment in your people.

The Team.

Liz Felstead – MD and beach lover!

My career within the industry started back in 1986 (yellow pages + phone!), since that time I worked for both independent and large corporate agencies – In 2005, having covered 1000’s miles on a monthly basis, I decided to bring my London experience to the local area (also saving my sanity!) Essential Results is now over 15 years old, with our fabulous team, great candidates and clients we are continually learning and growing. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved and I am excited about our future plans – My approach even after all these years is enthusiastic, imaginative, intuitive, measured, decisive and a totally positive attitude, I believe that we are the best at what we do. The quality of our service, commitment to our candidates and clients, and consistent delivery really sets us apart from other recruiters.

Colette Preston – Office Support & Avid Reader

Colette works with us on a part-time basis, supporting the team with marketing and strategic support. With a background in finance and operations, she brings a wealth of experience and tackles whatever we throw her way!!. When Colette gets any spare time (which is not often with a husband and 2 young boys to look after) she loves nothing more than sitting down to a good book and maybe a glass of wine too.
