  • ​I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Joshua Rayner at Rayner Personnel during a challenging time in my career. After unexpectedly being made redundant at the end of March, I was naturally overwhelmed with stress and worry. However, Josh very quickly stood out from the multitude of recruiters I approached.Having known Josh for some time, I was aware of his extensive contacts and position within the Property sector. Nonetheless, I was amazed by how quickly he sprang into action and took my job search seriously. Within just a day, Josh had lined up multiple interviews tailored to my preferences for job satisfaction, career advancement, and salary. He thought quickly and outside the box in order to ensure I was presented in the best possible way alongside my CV to any future employer.In just two weeks since my redundancy, Josh not only relieved the pressure I was under but also secured an incredible role that I am genuinely excited about. His experience and expertise are unparalleled, and I wholeheartedly recommend him and his team to anyone seeking opportunities in property or prop tech.Thank you so much Josh, for your unwavering support and dedication. I am extremely happy with my new role and really excited to share my next career steps with my connections in the coming weeks.

    Thank you so much Josh, for your unwavering support and dedication.

  • "​Over the last 10 years I have worked with many recruitment agencies, and I can say with certainty that Rayner Personnel are one of the very best that I have worked with.  From the outset, Daniel Clow and his team have been excellent.  In my initial interactions I was impressed by the time spent by Dan to truly understand, not only the vacancies, but also the company culture and ethos.  He was very knowledgeable about the market and understood what we were looking for.  The candidates provided by Dan and the team, have been of good quality.  We are provided with plenty of detail to enable us to make the first cut to interview.  The candidates are well prepared and understand the role when we interview them.  When we have identified a successful candidate, Rayner have supported and worked closely with us to get the candidates over the line.  Liam, in particular, has been impressive in this respect.  They are very dedicated team, without being pushy, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for recruitment support"

Jason was always quick to respond to my communication and happy to discuss my thoughts and answer any questions I had. He provided me with invaluable advice and guidance, is knowledgeable, well-connected and a true professional. I highly recommend Jason to anyone wanting to work within the property sector. Thank you again Jason!”

    Steve, Auction Appraiser

  • ​"I have been actively involved in real estate business in various capacities/roles, including corporate and independent agency, for approaching 40 years and I can say, without hesitation, that Alex Bryant is outstanding in his field and is my absolute 'go to' for all recruitment needs. He negotiates the 'minefield' of agency recruitment in a confidential and diligent manner whilst retaining the essential element of proactivity and enthusiasm. A key differentiator, for me, that sets him way above the crowd, is his commitment to the very important, but often overlooked, aspect of communication during the process, keeping everyone informed in an honest, respectful and empathetic tone. Alex always seems to have the inside track on openings/opportunities for applicants and the pick of candidates for employers with vacancies and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in the industry looking to fill a key vacancy or for those seeking new employment opportunities in the geographies that he covers"

    Alex Bryant is outstanding in his field

  • "Steven, I would like to leave a quick note in regard to how satisfied I was with the handling of my enquiry today. I feel it is vital to work with someone who has experience within the field to which it came across very quickly that your past involvement within the industry certainly allows to you to match experience against new ventures with ease. As expressed, it was an enjoyable phone call, to which when comparing calls with other recruitment firms, your handling of the matter was above and beyond what I had previously experienced. I had no wish to terminate the call in anyway, as I do feel my best interests are yours also”

    Above and beyond

  • ​Jason is really helpful and never pushy. He paid attention to the detail on my CV, matched me proactively by going out and finding me a suitable role rather than just matching me to what he had to offer. He also offered advice and guidance and was always available on his mobile. I'd highly recommend Rayner Personnel's service"

2021

Record numbers

​Almost 4,000 job seekers had registered with us at the start of 2020, while Russell Jervis joined later that year to head up our estate agency activity and associate program. With the UK hit by the first Covid-19 lockdown, we launched the Property Pulse Poles to help agents through the change.

Top division

​Our specialist sales division was launched in 2019 alongside our new website and continued development of a new in-house marketing team.

Capital gains

​Our continued expansion and growth saw us launch across every area of London, as well as the south coast in Dorset, Hampshire, and West Sussex.

Spreading our wings

​After launching a new self-employed licensee model in January 2016, we expanded into the South East, East of England and the Home Counties between April and November.

Franchise launch

​After three years of incredible growth and success, we created a franchise model for the business, while exceeding £1million in turnover for the first time later that year.

On the move

​In January 2014, we opened our first dedicated office in Bishop’s Stortford, while the team grew to nine people later that year.

You're hired!

​Early in 2013, we hired the first member of our team and later that year, we rebranded with a new logo and website.

Rayner Personnel is born

​We opened our doors for the first time in September 2012 and placed our first person just a month later.

A huge milestone

​Early in 2018 we were established as the UK’s largest property recruiter based on headcount and just two months later, we moved into a larger office to help with our continued growth.
