”I had just started looking for a job, after being off work for a year, when I received a call from Darinka, the MD for Aldena Associates at 5pm one Tuesday afternoon. She had seen my CV on LinkedIn. She knew it was short notice, but there was a two day assignment locally the next day at 9am and asked if I would be interested in taking the role. I accepted and the next day she called me saying the company were very impressed with me and could I stay on for the following week. This turned into three months and Aldena were always professional, efficient and informative. I have now been offered a full time permanent Receptionist position with the company and just signed the contract. Aldena were really happy for me and we look forward to meeting each other and her team this Christmas.”

I highly recommend Darinka for her exceptional guidance and support in my career journey. Her insightful advice and practical tips helped me land my perfect Job role at Samsung.

I am deeply grateful for her help and strongly endorse her as a valuable asset to anyone seeking career advancement.

Without doubt Aldena is one of the most helpful lighting and electrical job recruitment agency in the UK. Both himself and Janine Mole are professional throughout and keep you posted of every stage of the process. They work with the top lighting and electrical companies and consult you at every stage. They are a pleasure to be involved with.

“Darinka is amazing, she worked her magic and got me my dream role. She kept me up to date with what was happening and helped with interview nerves. I couldn’t be happier and her support was incredible.”

“Mark contacted via LinkedIn with a potential opportunity with a great company. He kept me informed through the whole process which took several months until I finally secured the position. Thanks very much for your help Mark, really enjoying my new role! “

I would like to give a special thanks to Darinka at Aldena Associates for helping me find my new position with Whitecroft Lighting. Darinka was extremely professional, kept in close contact with me throughout the entire process and made me feel comfortable with each step. I would highly recommend Aldena Associates for their services and wish Darinka and company the best of luck in the future!

Mark is an outstanding talent scout with a large employer network in UK lighting market. Highly recommended to work with!

“Mark is very professional and I fully enjoyed my experience with him. Great attention to detail. clear communication, and with lots of enthusiasm.”

Highly recommended. Mark has that knack of matching the perfect job to the candidate. He spends time getting to know you and understand your expectations. He remains close to you throughout the process and always makes himself available to you. A great guy and very professional.

“Aldena Associates are our number one choice for finding the right candidates. Both Mark & Harry can’t do enough to find the right candidates for your specific job role. Both professional and tenacious in everything they do, I cant recommend Aldena Associates enough!.”

“I would like to thank Mark and the team for helping me in my next work life chapter.

“My experience working with Aldena Associates was more streamlined and attentive than any previous recruiter I have had experience with. Darinka was tenacious in getting hold of me and reassuring me of my abilities and transferable skills for this step up in my career, helping me gain the confidence I needed to go for such a great opportunity. Throughout the process, Darinka was in regular communication and took any stress associated with searching and applying for jobs into her own hands. I could not be more pleased with the role I have secured and most definitely credit both Darinka and Aldena for helping me to get here. Darinka was communicative and helpful not only in selling the job to me but in helping me to prepare as best I could, whilst even offering aftersales care following accepting the position, even going as far as to send me a ‘congratulations and good luck’ card. I would highly recommend Aldena’s services to anybody else who is looking for a new role and believe that they have your best interests at heart – something you don’t always see from recruiters who can appear primarily target driven.”

Aldena successfully recruited a Design Manager role at the start of 2020 for us in Buckinghamshire. They were competent, efficient and simplified the recruitment process. Would recommend Aldena, and particular thanks to Darinka, Mark and Harry!

“Consultative and clear understanding of myself as a candidate and the client as an opportunity. Guided myself into a fantastic opportunity with a progressive and expanding brand. Thanks Mark.”

I am writing to highly recommend Mark for his exceptional skills and dedication in the hiring and recruitment field. Mark helped me during my recent job search, and his assistance was instrumental in helping me secure my current position.

Throughout the entire hiring process, Mark was incredibly supportive and communicative.

I cannot thank both Lisa and Darinka enough, especially Lisa, who constantly kept me aware of how my application was progressing and gave me feedback from the client. I am very excited to be starting my new role and could not have achieved this without you.

”As a current temp contractor through Aldena, I am very impressed with the high level of organization and professionalism in all operations. They are very tentative and able to quickly accommodate any requests whether its regarding pay matter or enrollment into pension scheme. They operate with the highest level of diversity and inclusion, needless to mention their ability to understand the individuals where you don’t feel you are just a number. Although, this is my first temp role, Aldena processes made it feel like the only difference from permanent roles is the higher pay rate. I will happily work with Aldena anytime in the future.”

“We have used Mark and the team at Aldena to fill a variety of operational posts in the business, including marketing, receptionist, and PA roles.

Mark provides a high calibre of engaged candidates, suitable for our needs. Aldena are actively involved in the process and help to move things along at a good pace.

I have always been impressed with how Aldena keep in contact with the candidates they have successfully placed with us. They are the only agent I have come across who send the candidate a good luck card and gift on their first day, and they then keep in contact with both the candidate and us throughout the initial weeks to see how things are progressing. “

Smooth process from beginning to end. Mark is always very responsive. I am very happy with the candidates he found for us. I highly recommend Mark’s services.

I highly recommend him as a recruiting agent. Thanks, Mark!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional support I received. You and your team have done an outstanding job, and I’m genuinely glad I chose to work with you. Darinka, in particular, was highly professional throughout the process and has a keen eye for matching professionals with the right opportunities.

I look forward to using their services again should they be required in the future.”

“It was a struggle for me to find a job, as I was limiting myself to a location where I am in close proximity to. I thought it was going to be near impossible to find one, where I could grow and develop my career as a professional, especially just looking for a job at certain locations only. However, Mark has given me the opportunity to land my first professional job as an assistant lighting designer. This opportunity has opened a lot of doors for me, gaining new knowledge and confidence in myself again!

Also a huge thank you for all your help and support you have given me right from the word go.  You made the process so speedy and stress-free in a way that I’ve not experienced before with an agency.  I can’t believe I applied for the job one day, interviewed the next and offered the job the next day, and here I am having finished my second week.  It’s been a steep learning curve, as with all new jobs, however I’m all round delighted to be working for Lennons. Once again, a big thank you Lisa for going the extra mile to make my experience of getting back into the workplace such a stress-free and smooth transition. Kind regards. Liz”

“I received a call from Aldena Associates regarding a temping role. After the initial phone call and taking up the post, Darinka the Managing Director sent me a text to see if everything was ok and if there was anything else I needed. I sent my timesheet across and payment was in my bank. The following week Darinka again asked how my week went and again if everything is ok.  This is an exceptional service, truly taking care of those who work for them. I have used many agencies in the past and nothing comes close to this service.

I would highly recommend Aldena Associates and hope that when this temping assignment ends they are able to find me another suitable role for me.”
