"Victoria and I met when I first moved to Sheffield over a year ago and I was searching for my first job opportunity up North.  After trawling the internet for a ‘decent’ recruitment agency that stood out amongst the rest, I came across Star PS.  The website promised to give me a ‘personal consultancy’ experience, which translated in my mind as a service like no other, and scarily that’s exactly what I got from day one.  Ironically, I later became one of Victoria’s clients, when I found myself working for my present company and I was asked to recruit a receptionist with a start date of yesterday!  I had been so wowed over by the commitment and level of service I had received from Victoria when searching for a job, that it was a no brainer to engage her expertise in finding Marussia Virgin Racing our receptionist!  Suffice to say, within two weeks, a receptionist was found and a new star was born.  (Star PS . . .  now I know where the name comes from). Thanks Victoria for all your hard work and none of mine".

"Star PS had to work damn hard to impress me. But impress me they have.  We wanted an internal sales person for our Office Supplies Business and they worked their socks of to find the right candidate. Their professional approach to to us and the candidate was fantastic. Well done!"

"Victoria has a genuine passion for the business she runs and a desire to be the very best at what she does, those qualities became evident to myself when she helped me gain employment in the position I am in. She is 100% committed in helping the candidates she puts forward for job positions and of course to her clients. She has great networking skills, is incredibly persoanable and great to deal with. Very strongly goal orientated, I cannot recommend her expertise to you enough!”

“I have collaborated with Victoria many times when assisting Kea clients with a permanent recruitment project. Victoria focuses carefully on the client's requirements and matches those to the people who have the skills. The result is a small selection of perfect candidates which are usually difficult to chose between. I would highly recommend her for permanent recruitment.”

“I have known Victoria for some time through 4Networking, therefore when I decided to return from six months of travelling choosing Star Professional Solutions to act on my behalf was a natural choice. I have to say Victoria is exceptionally professional and goes more than the extra mile, organising interviews for me before I had even landed in the country and would only send me to interviews she thought were suitable for my skills. Within a week of my feet landing in the UK, Victoria had got me a job. I can not recommend Victoria and Star Professional Solutions enough, she is amazing at what she does, and should I need her services again I know exactly where to go. Thank you Victoria, you're an absolute pleasure and delight to work with.”

“Victoria helped my partner when he was looking for a job, she was patient and helped him talk through what he was looking for. She sat down with both of us and was really helpful. I would reccommend her to anyone.”

"Be warned, Victoria definitely runs no "ordinary" recruitment agency! She is as equally focussed on the candidate as she is the client. From the initial contact asking my interest in a particular role on the Monday to being offered the role on the Friday, she runs an efficient operation whilst ensuring that only the right people are put forward for the job. All in all, a true and full of character "Yorkshire lass" who certainly knows her stuff when it comes to recruitment and most importantly people. She will definitely be my first stop in the future whether as a candidate or a client looking for new staff. Once again, thank you and all the best!"

"I recently presented Victoria with quite an unusual recruitment dilemna, one that had been causing me quite a headache for over 2 years. Not only did Victoria solve it, but she solved it very quickly. I'm very impressed with her service and have no hesitation in recommending her. Well done!"

"Many thanks to you for your time yesterday, it did give me a good confidence boost and made the job hunting process enjoyable again. I'm very excited about the job and can't thank you enough for recommending me for an interview."

"I have known and been a client of Victoria's since the year 2000 and up until present day, my motto was is; forget about the company and where they work…..stay loyal to the person who looks after you and your interests and you won’t go far wrong. In this case, that person was Victoria Roberts…….and 10 years later Victoria went self employed and formed STAR PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS LTD. A win win situation for all concerned.  Now how good is that!!!"

"Victoria has been absolutely amazing with finding me work. Just when I thought that all doors were closed for me, she came as a ray of new hope and managed to get me back into work. I would like to thank her for all her hard work, help and support during this time. Compared to other agencies that I have been to, I would say that Victoria has been the best so far and provided an excellent service to me.  A big thank you for all your help!"

"I can fully recommend Victoria and her recruitment services. Victoria undertook an indepth needs analysis of our requirements before sourcing candidates. This approach filled a vacancy we had been trying to fill for 9 months."

"I recently saw an ad for a position which was being advertised by Star Professional Solutions Limited.  I was contacted shortly after I submitted my details and CV by the MD Victoria Roberts, who made arrangements for me to come to the site for an interview. Because of the professional way in which this was handled I felt relaxed that the next step would be for a second interview. This happened 2 days later with the Regional Manager and then a 3rd interview with the Area Operational Manager of the company.  Due to the guidance and professional way in which Victoria conducted the whole process, I felt totally relaxed and confident in getting the position I applied for. On the 15th of January 2010 I received a phone call from Victoria to say the company had offered me the job. I was obviously ecstatic and even more so because of the simple and professional way the entire process was handled. Thank you very much Victoria and I will certainly use your company if I require staff for myself in the future!"

"We have had several issues with previous agencies we have used with companies not using purchase order numbers and incorrect amounts.  Victoria Roberts started supplying to us in June 2008, she took the time to sit with us and discuss invoice paths and purchase order numbers.  Victoria listened to the problems we have encountered previously and reassured us that she would work alongside us to get things right from the the first order.  If there is a query with an invoice,  Victoria usually picks up on it before we do and sorts it out as quickly as possible.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Victoria Roberts as a professional, efficient consultant and she has certainly assisted our Finance Department in operation to our procedures smoothly."

"Within 10 minutes of applying online for the role, Victoria had personally phoned me up and organised a meeting between us. She was very understanding that I couldn’t meet up during normal office hours, as I was already employed, and was able to organise an interview within a week. After the interview with my prospective employer, I was able to contact her straight away, despite it being once again outside of normal office hours, and she was able to give me very helpful feedback. Once I had successfully secured the role, she remained in contact for several months afterwards, to see how I was getting on. All in all, it was an A+ service!"

"I have held a variety of HR Management positions within commercial, education and charity organisations, and for the past 11 years used the recruitment services of Ms Roberts (MD of Star Professional Solutions Ltd).    Not only has she followed the briefs outlined to her explicitly, she has never been afraid to offer constructive input. She successfully negotiated preferred supplier status for all our vacancies nationwide when I was with Minit UK, concerning all commercial and administrative appointments at all levels.  Due to that performance when I moved to Rotherham College of Arts and Technology (RCAT) I contacted Ms Roberts to undertake a number of recruitment campaigns on behalf of RCAT including 2 senior academic appointments.  She has always displayed great professionalism, energy and drive and I would endorse her with the utmost confidence"

"What can I say about Star Professional Solutions Ltd?  Having been out of the work place for over a year I first had contact with Victoria on a Monday and by Wednesday of the same week, I had been interviewed by Victoria and she had secured an interview on my behalf.   The company is a great match within the exact market I was looking for and the role is based strongly around my skill set. The next day I started work!  Stars investment to matching both their clients and candidates needs is unparalleled."

"We have worked with Victoria Roberts of Star PS for a few months now and have always been happy with her approach and response times to queries.  Med-El has recently gone through a growth period and Victoria's advice on providing staff has proved invaluable.  Her friendly but professional approach matches our company ethic and it’s always a pleasure working with her. Victoria obviously gives thought, time and effort into finding members of staff to match our company needs and the results have paid off.  She is always very helpful and her professional advice is appreciated.  We look to a continued successful working partnership in the future."

"Victoria took the time to edit my CV and give me advice as to which employers may be interested in me.  She secured an interview for me within 2 days with SGV Acoustics - the role was part time and local which was very important to my particular requirements.  She was very helpful with pre-interview information and spoke to me within the hour after my interview!  She negotiated my start date and salary and has kept in touch with me since my start date to ensure I am still happy.  I would recommend Star PS to anyone looking for a new job."

"I would just like to say that whilst dealing with Star PS Ltd I found you to be very enthusiastic , professional, friendly, and very efficient. You and your company certainly go that extra mile when trying to gain employment for your clients.  Nothing was too much trouble, your knowledge and experience of HR is truly demonstrated in your performance, and one of the main things I liked was your honesty throughout our dealings, which I feel is very important when dealing with out of work clients.  Some of the other agencies could do a lot better if they were honest with their clients and realised that they are dealing with people.  I can understand why you called your company STAR because you are a real star!  Thanks for everything."

“I went to Victoria to help me find suitable full time work.  The role I was looking for was to deal with people and to be varied, whilst incorporating my administration skills. Victoria placed me within a reception role that combined all these things.  I would recommend Victoria in the future due to the friendly, non-pushy and professional way in which she found me the job that suited me as a person”.
