that she has a very clear understanding of your requirements at the end of her
questioning. The quality of candidates that Renée submits bears out the above statement.
I have the peace of mind when I receive candidates from Renée that they closely or
perfectly fit the spec.
Renée brings a rare human touch to the industry; she combines a professionalism that

Renée's understanding of our business environment and needs means we get exactly what we are looking for with minimum fuss. Time is precious for all of us and Renée understands that. Her strong sense of social responsibility carries through positively into her business and makes a remarkable difference to all of us involved with her at CCS."
Robynne Schneider, Human Resources Director, Commercial Cold Storage
"I have worked with Renée for many, many years. She is a "proper" recruitment agent. By this I mean that she takes a detailed brief and works to the brief. She only sends candidates that she has thought about extensively and discussed the company with, to ensure a good fit. This saves lots of time which can otherwise be wasted sitting through long interviews with unsuitable applicants. We have placed many good quality candidates through her over the years and plan to continue with the relationship into the future."

a high standard.
The quality of people that she has referred to me has always been just the right
person who would fit into the ooba values and standards.
There are so many Companies who prefer to cut out the middle man, and I honestly
have had the experience of Renée Bishop sourcing the right people and doing so much
work in making our lives easier and believing that the middle man is needed.
Keep up the good work."
Liz Mavronicolas, Manager Claims & Policy Administration, ooba

Thobile Ndenze, HR Consultant, Financial Services Company
"My relationship with Renée is a longstanding one. She has demonstrated absolute competence as a professional recruiter with many of Renée's referred candidates enjoying long and rewarding careers with their respective employers. Her strength lies in her ability to identify true talent and then to match this with the specific requirements of every role. I have no hesitation recommending Renée to you as a true 'business partner' in acquiring talent."
Linda Roos, HR Manager, Vineyard Hotel
The manner in which Renée handled my recruitment process was highly commendable. My decision as to whether to change jobs was an easy one because of the professionalism Renée brought to the entire process. I would highly recommend Renée to any executive candidate seeking to change jobs.
Jillian Marais, Company Secretary

Her concern is seemingly not only about securing an appointment but ensuring that there is a perfect match for the long-term mutual benefit of both her client and the candidate."
Anthea Abraham, Communications Manager

Janise Vos, Accountant

I have been placed in a position and in a company that is wonderful and suits both my skills and personality to a tee."
Erica Freeman, Facilities Manager
"It has been a pleasure to have been represented by Renée. She is definitely an efficient and professional recruiter. My experience with Renée has only been positive. She goes the extra mile and genuinely wants to help candidates to the best of her ability. Renée constantly provides feedback to candidates. When I first spoke to Renée about my career she immediately knew what I was looking for. Today, I work for a company that is better than I ever imagined possible. Thank you Renée, you have no idea what kind of impact you have had on my life. I am so blessed and grateful for all that you have done."
Stacey Johnston, HR Administrator
"Working with Renée Bishop Recruitment has been an absolute pleasure, an awesome team that take recruitment to "another level" altogether.

There was an understanding of the client’s needs and also a good grasp of my strengths and career aspirations. This provided a good foundation for rapport and a professional relationship in a short period of time."
Brenda Rolleston, HR Manager
Renée really places her candidates well. For myself, I found the company I was placed in to be exactly the environment that I feel comfortable in and people that are friendly. She is very personable, realistic, professional and understanding. I was always communicated with as to the progression of my application, position etc. which was refreshing. All in all I had a good experience.
Loretta Rudman, Credit Controller
Out of all the agencies I’ve dealt with and I had quite a few experiences, Renée Bishop was the only one that provided me with regular feedback. She has been a great guide throughout the process by keeping me focussed, at ease and acknowledging my potential. And we all know how we need it when you are job hunting, as although one door closes … many are waiting to be opened. Even after my placement Renée still has regular follow up sessions with me. Thanks Renée.
Nicolette Elliott, Training Administrator
"Renée has a good understanding of both the candidate's and clients needs and thereby matches the perfect fit. She and her team display a high level of professionalism and dedication which was greatly appreciated."
Sathya Naidoo - Financial Manager
"About a year ago I was recruited by Renée Bishop Recruitment. What made them stand out compared to previous agencies I have dealt with, was the personal professional service at all times. The whole process of my appointment took 4 months due to holidays and other factors. During this time I had regular value adding feedback from Renée to keep me abreast of what was taking place. Overall I rate them as exceptional and will advise anyone to make use of their service at any time."
Anthonie van Niekerk, Supply Chain Executive
"While searching for positions to grow my career, I needed a recruitment company who would understand my dreams and aspirations taking into account my qualifications, skills and experience. I found Renée Bishop Recruitment to be professional and astute in my dealings with them. They understood the company and also the candidate, as a result of this I got feedback from the company fast. Upon my acceptance they did follow up visits to ensure that I was happy and where there were issues, they offered to mediate with the company to resolve them. Now that is what a candidate should get from a professional recruitment agency."
Victor Nwaneri, Consultant, Hyperion Essbase Application
"It was such a pleasure working with Renée. With her attention to personal detail, Renée understood my career needs within the time-span of 1 hour and instinctively knew how to correctly match my abilities and experience to the next job opportunity in my career path. She was professional, to the point and made the entire recruiting process easy and effortless."
Nelleke Bakkes, Project Manager
"I had a very positive experience with Renée Bishop Recruitment. She had consistent and honest communication with me throughout the placement process. I valued the fact that she had my CV on record, but did not forget about me. Renée has integrity, high standards, and deserves the good reputation she has as a professional."
Estelle Murray, Admin Manager
"The staff were very accommodating, professional and their service is yet the best I've come across. Renée Bishop Recruitment is definitely a MUST have on your record."
Aaliyah Leendertz, Receptionist
"I enjoyed the individual attention, the sincerity in probing one's strengths. The briefing of the job spec is always precise and the overview of the organisation is communicated clearly. Overall the professional approach stands out."
Archie Arendse, Financial Manager
"Renée Bishop Recruitment was professional and very helpful when placing me. They followed up on how I was adjusting in my new workplace, which was always much appreciated. After all if it was not for Renée Bishop, I wouldn't have landed this job."
Delmarie Alexander, Office Assistant
"I would just like to commend Renée on an excellent agency she is running as I came to her 5 years ago in need of employment and she really pulled out all the stops in acquiring me suitable employment. I have been working at my current company for 5 years now and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Renée for giving me such excellent service and caring for your fellow man."
Fadiel Isaacs, Procurement Assistant
"My experience with Renée Bishop Recruitment has been nothing but pleasant, seeing that my previous experiences made me really sceptical when it came to job hunting through an agency. I got excellent service from the moment I stepped into their offices. Renée is a real people's person, and quickly made me feel relaxed during the interview. I took a lot of what we talked about during the interview with me, and felt real confident when I went for the big interview... I actually got the job! What stood out for me during the whole experience is the way she constantly followed up on how things are going, even up until now. This is definitely an agency that I will refer to as many people as possible."
Irene Fredericks, Salary Administrator
"I found all initial introductions and subsequent dealings to be formal yet comfortable and friendly
yet professional, which was precisely what any prospective candidate is in desperate need of. The
process of employment interviews is always a daunting one, no matter what experience or credentials
you have. Therefore it was comforting to experience this level of professionalism and a clear evidence
of Renée's commitment in providing the employer with the perfect employee.
The 'after sales' follow up call and visit by Renée to both the employee and employer is usually missing,
but not with Renée Bishop, this was extremely valuable as it made me feel like I mattered in her business
and will always remember all dealings that I had with Renée as being professionally awesome."
Gareth Hartley, IT Manager
"To begin with I would say, when somebody is in the 'market for a job', it feels very uncomfortable as
well as stressing a lot.
I always feel very nervous when I am going for a job interview, having all those thoughts about,
what if I am not the right person? Will I be able to do the job, etc? Well, all these experiences will
calm you when you get the warm welcome from the Renée Bishop office staff as well as from Renée herself.
I felt I was being treated like I must get the job even if I have not done the interview.
I must say that, from the day I was short listed for the position until when I was appointed, you could
see that there was a strong channel of communication between me, Renée Bishop and the Employer. Even after
the placement, I would feel very embarrassed to get a call from Renée even if I am the one to do that.
These calls also help to give you feedback and a lot of confidence to know that everybody is happy with you.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness which goes beyond business."
Henry Chibaya, Debtors Clerk
"Renée & her staff were very fast & courteous in arranging interviews with myself and the employer; always keeping me in the loop on developments of the process and advising on appropriate targets & terms to negotiate for. Even after placement, she still showed interest in my development and contentment in the new position. A recruitment-agent of choice."
Michael Fanner, Management Accountant
"I would like to thank Renée for making it possible for me to get this job with my company.
I started here as a Receptionist on the 1st February 2007, and I got promotion on the 1st February 2009
as an Ops Admin Clerk. It's all thanks to Renée - you're the best Agent.
Keep up the good work and do the same to others."
Nozuko Ngaka, Ops Admin Clerk
"Renée Bishop has given me awesome service. Not only did she find me employment in my field of expertise
but she also provided good after employment service by making regular contact to find out how I've settled
in and whether I'm still happy in my job.
Thank you."
Nina October, Disability Claims Consultant
"I enjoyed the recruitment process from the first day. Renée handled it in a great professional manner with good interpersonal relationships. I really appreciated the follow-ups she did after placing me, not forgetting the day she visited me at work the day I was made permanent."
Nyasha Musviba - Financial Manager
"Renée Bishop Recruitment is one of the best employment agencies that I have had the pleasure
of applying and being placed by.
Their response and turn-around time is amazing because they place you in a very short space
of time, taking into consideration your background, culture and needs that are best suited to you.
My contract had expired at my previous place of employ and I had been placed at another company
by Renée Bishop Recruitment, before I had worked my last day of contract.
Her staff are extremely patient and considerate when you call at their offices, and are always
aware of who you are and the position that you are seeking employment in.
Since I was placed by Renée Bishop Recruitment, I have recommended all my friends and acquaintances
to seek employment via her agency. They have not been disappointed."
Shakila Mohamed, Payroll
"I found Renée's handling of the interviewing and placement process professional, well informed and friendly, from the moment I applied for the advertised position through the interviewing process both at her offices and at the client. The initial interview was very thorough and gave me the correct impression of the client and what I could expect in terms of the work and the environment in which I would be working. Through the interviewing process she continuously gave me feedback and once I was placed at the company, she stayed in contact to ensure that I had no regrets accepting the position offered."
Sharon Vermeulen, Deal Facilitator
"Renée deals with you professionally and humanly. What I like is the 'after care' Renée puts in after a placement and the understanding that goes with it. She will make sure she understands your circumstances and is always ready with advice. Thank you for still being there for me!"
Suzaan Coetzee, Group Accountant
"I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the excellent and professional service I have received from your agency when I applied for a position as advertised in the Career Times. From the first moment when I met with your consultant, she was very friendly and helpful until the day I was placed in my position at the recommended company. For me it felt that I was her most important client. She kept me posted through the process by updating me regularly on the progress with the application. This level of service on average I must say is not experienced everywhere in the industry. I really want to compliment Renée Bishop and her staff for going the extra mile. The words 'Service Excellence' may in fact be linked to your agency. I would recommend any of my colleagues to your agency."
Theresa Rinquest, Senior BI Administrator
"I found Renée to be professional and well rounded as she is experienced within the recruitment industry and
knowledgeable on the requirements of various job functions within many different industries.
Renée always kept in contact with me on the application's progress and my placement to that position was
quick and successful.
I would like to say that I enjoyed dealing with her and hope to remain in contact."
Vincent Scalabrino, Warehouse & Logistics Manager
"Renée Bishop placed me with my previous company in their Sales Division. My experience with RB Recruitment
was a very pleasant experience. Renée personally took me under her wing and nurtured my career path with
this placement. Initially I refused the appointment, but after much consideration and self examination,
I accepted the position.
Renée kept in touch with me on an ongoing basis through this process and I found her aptitude for
professionalism of the highest standard.
Till today I still refer potential employees to her for career opportunities. I have since started my own
business and although not in a position to make use of her services, when I get to that level, Renée is
top of my list of recruiters to approach.
An ongoing respect for a very professional lady who has a passion for her career path, but more importantly
a passion for her applicants to get ahead in their career paths."
Warwick Winterbach, Sales Consultant
"Renée is a very pleasant and professional recruitment agent. I dealt with her only once before, but I must say that everything was conducted very professionally. Keep up the good work Renée."
Zeenat Ahmed, Group Accountant
"I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in."
