Said the following about Ben Shayegan:

“Since joining Advance-TRS as a Specialist Resourcer in early 2014 Ben has rapidly moved up through the ranks to become our Senior Recruitment Consultant specialising in Telecoms and M&E. Hungry to progress quickly he has relished the challenge of working within the scarcely skilled rail industry, and embraced the opportunity to grow and develop new skills.

Ben is responsible for working with existing clients and candidates, gathering a full understanding of their needs to match their immediate requirements. He also supports the business’s rapid development, engaging new clients and sourcing skilled candidates. Ben brings a determined, confident and success-minded attitude to his role, and has built strong relationships with both clients and candidates alike.

Ben goes above and beyond what is called for regularly visiting his contractors out on site and keeping closely in touch with them to build strong relationships that last.

Ben consistently meets and exceeds his sales targets and has recently continued his professional development by taking responsibility for managing a team of specialist resourcers, achieving success both individually and as a team.

Darren Stringer

"Ben is a really genuine bloke who goes the extra mile to make sure his contractors are happy. He sincerely cares about making sure the contractor fits the role as opposed to some recruiters who seem to be happy to go for the scattergun approach. He’s never too busy to answer the phone and he gives you a positive feeling that you’re in good hands. I have to say that after working for three different clients through Ben, over a couple of years, I genuinely feel that he sees me as a friend, and not just a means to pay for his next trip to Dubai! Long may it continue!"

Sean Doherty

"I have known Ben on a professional level for several years and now regard him as a friend. Ben went over and above his duties to help support me during my time at ATKINS supplying good calibre resource and labour to multiple high profile transportation projects. I have always been impressed with Ben's professionalism and honesty which has been a delight to work with in comparison to many other recruiters. I wish him all the best in his application."

Neville Phaure

"Met Ben after applying for a rail position advertised through Advance-TRS. Found him efficient in setting up and following through the interview process. He was assistive through my registration with Advance and followed up with a meeting to check how I was settling into new post. Found him to be an efficient, courteous and friendly recruitment consultant."

Andy Cook

"Ben fully understood my skill-set and knew exactly which companies to approach when looking to place me in my recent contract position."“
