Kieran from Perth
"Bridgewater did a fantastic job of helping me secure my first graduate job. They kept me updated at every step in the process, gave me valuable advice and knew the employer really well. I would definitely recommend them to any graduates!"
Thomas from London
"I have to say that I have dealt with a few Recruitment Agents in my time, but Bridgewater Resources has blew them out the water. My Consultant put me forward for a position which suited me perfectly. The support and service alongside ongoing quick correspondence is second to none. I could go on and on and praise my Consultant alongside the organisation she works for, however for the purpose of keeping it short and sweet - 10/10 in every professional sense."
Tony from Nottingham
"Fantastic experience with Bridgewater Resources. If you're lucky to speak to Sophie Finlay, she's great to deal with, offers ongoing support and advice through your interview process. I was delighted to have been offered my graduate job! Thank you Sophie and Bridgewater."
Amy from Kirkcaldy
"After two years of applying for graduate jobs after university, Bridgewater got me the perfect job. They are constantly checking in to make sure you are fully prepared for interviews and testing. I would highly recommend."
Declan from Edinburgh
"I would like to say a massive thank you to Bridgewater! I've worked with a few of the large graduate recruitment agencies and Bridgewater was by far the most personable and professional. As a graduate it's difficult to find an agency who actually care about your best interests and I can confidently say the guys at Bridgewater are one of these rare agencies. The company I've been recruited by are a market leader and the role is great. I'm sure the guys at Bridgewater only work with the best companies. Thanks again!"
Lewis from Milton Keynes

I strongly recommend using Bridgwater Resources to anyone seeking employment."
Sam from Weymouth
"Bridgewater resources have been excellent in helping me gain my first graduate-level position. Throughout the process, they were always very supportive with my interviews and preparing me for the next stages of the process. Their knowledge of the employer and individual characters were advanced, this gave me confidence when meeting the employers as they had given me a heads up with some tips and advice. The process from application to interview was very quick and efficient. I am thankful for the hard work they put in to help me gain an offer and I would extremely recommend their services."
Jack from Andover
"My experience with Bridgewater Resources has been of the highest standard from first contact right through to my graduate job offer. I would like to add that Sophie Finlay has handled the process from the very beginning with great professionalism and helped me to obtain the role that I have sought after university. She was there to answer my emails and calls whenever needed and went above and beyond to make ensure the process was smooth. I would be happy to recommend Bridgewater to help find the right role for any of my friends and family."
Jack from Knutsford
"My experience with Bridgewater has been nothing short of excellent. My Consultant has been extremely helpful and professional at every stage of the process, as has his assistant with her emails detailing my progress etc. Going forward, I would honestly recommend other firms and candidates to Bridgewater, as clearly your team understand the needs and desires of individuals and the companies you represent."
Alex from East Midlands
"My experience with Bridgewater Resources was excellent. My recruitment consultant was phenomenal and very supportive throughout the whole process. He gave me great motivational advice which made me very confident when going into the two interviews and taught me how to get across to the interviewer how much I want the job.
