Lauren Stewart
RMS are truly a brilliant team. They not only found me excellent roles when I was trying to find my feet but also found me the one role that launched my career. One thing that really sets them apart is the excellent level of communication and really importantly the lack of pressure to take roles you don't want to go for.
Victoria Baring
RMS were truly amazing when I registered with them. As soon as I was registered I was immediately offered interviews for both temporary and permanent work. They really listened to what I was looking for and offered me relevant and suitable roles. I would really recommend them to anyone!

Interview Tips For PA Candidates
Whether you’re starting out in your career or bringing years of experience, a few simple habits can help you make a strong impression and get the most out of every role. Our consultants have shared practical tips to help you prepare, perform and stand out professionally. From interview advice to day-to-day guidance, these insights can help you build confidence and succeed in any working environment.
Before your interview, take time to research the company to show genuine interest and prepare a few thoughtful questions, such as key priorities, systems used or how success in the role will be measured.
Dress appropriately for the company to create a professional first impression, and ask your RMS recruitment consultant for guidance on the expected style.
Plan your journey in advance to avoid delays, aim to arrive 15 minutes early, and confirm the entrance and reception details beforehand.
Take a printed copy of your CV to give to the interviewer, but avoid referring to it during the conversation - instead, speak confidently about your experience and achievements.
Never swear or speak negatively about former colleagues, managers, or employers - maintain a positive, professional attitude throughout the interview.
Offer a confident, firm (but not overly tight) handshake, maintaining eye contact and a friendly demeanour to create a positive first impression.
Be open and honest about your skills, experience, and achievements, giving clear examples that demonstrate your strengths and suitability for the role.
Relax and enjoy the conversation, showing genuine interest and enthusiasm while building a friendly, professional rapport with the interviewer.
