Amanda Abbot - HR Manager - LGC Group "People Force have worked closely with us to manage the full selection process, including giving us the templates and support to help ourselves when time has been a rare commodity during the current Pandemic.
We view People Force as a trusted partner, enabling us to work with confidence towards our goal of a future proofed HRIS system. Throughout this process, People Force have been professional, personable, responsive and supportive. With the challenges we have faced due to the Pandemic and those affecting us as a result of Brexit, they have worked as if they were our own team of people with our best interests at heart. A true ‘Personal Shopper’. We are looking forward to continuing that journey as they walk alongside us in the implementation of this new project." Elaine Roberts - Head of Human Resourcing - Europa Worldwide Group "Having People Force project manage the implementation of Dayforce to the Airport has been an invaluable experience; not only are they very experienced with systems implementations allowing them to deal with ease at the complexities these kinds of projects bring up, they also know the Dayforce solution extremely well. This has allowed us to get the very best out of the project and has also been of great support to me and my team."
Helena Regent - People Manager - Bristol Airport "Having People Force expertise, with HR and HR System implementations, was extremely valuable - their input, project management approach, general professionalism, and overall support in mapping out and evaluating the process as we went through it; customised to our needs, proved to be a key factor in the successful roll out of Exelsys within our organisation."
Nana Siriboe-Andersen - HR Director - Cass Art “People Force were exceptional in applying their immigration expertise to successfully aid us in onboarding teachers for the start of the new term – without their support, we would have had an extremely challenging start to a new academic year”
Chris Deller - Headteacher - Bedford Academy "We used People Force to support us with researching the right HR Information System for our growing business. I would recommend using People Force as they have the knowledge of the different tools available depending on your individual needs. They were thorough with collating our requirements and also making recommendations of other modules/tools that may be useful."
Jacqui Okundaye – Head of HR and Recruitment – MMT Digital "People Force International were engaged by Cinven to undertake an extensive data cleansing exercise ahead of the migration of its HR information into a new HR system.
This work required People Force to populate the Data Migration Template provided by the new system provider. They undertook this work extremely diligently and their attention to detail ensured an extremely high level of integrity and quality of staff data. It also created a great foundation for the efficient implementation of the new system. We would highly recommend People Force if you are looking for some assistance during the data cleansing aspect of your new HR system implementation." Zoe Lockwood – HR Director – Cinven Partners LLP "People Force has delivered exceptional quality to us in various key specialised areas. Their dedication, commitment, expertise and professionalism have helped boost the quality and standards delivered by our people throughout the 99p Stores’ organisation."
Tony Brown - Former COO - 99p Stores "We applied for a settlement visa with People Force for my husband who is a US citizen. We were nervous throughout the application process but their professionalism and patience helped keep us calm and informed. We asked a thousand and one questions all of which were answered in a prompt and timely manner. We couldn’t be any more grateful to People Force for helping us through such a stressful time in our lives. We highly recommend the staff at People Force to anyone who is going through the visa application process."
Sarah Spencer – Immigration Client "Very proficient service, great expertise. People Force keeps you updated with each phase of the process and are always willing and available to answer any questions that may arise. I had no problems from start to finish. Very satisfied."
Lorna Wee-Ellis – Immigration Client "Thank you to the People Force team for helping navigate the seemingly extremely complicated Tier-2 Visa process. They did a fantastic job advising and leading the way through the entire process from sponsor licence to my visa application. They did such a great job that when it seemed every CoS application was being rejected, mine got accepted first time! Thank you again."
Matthew Jennings – Immigration Client "People Force supported our organisation – a charity of seven state funded primary schools – in applying to be a Tier 2 sponsor. They expertly negotiated us through the complex process at all the key points and were always available at every stage. Our application was successful at the first time of trying and we were able to award a Certificate of Sponsorship to a teacher, who is now successfully employed in one of our schools.
We would thoroughly recommend People Force’s support for this process." Mark Greatrex – Chief Executive – Bellevue Place Education "I want to say how much I appreciate People Force, they were always courteous and helpful even when I was having another meltdown over something I felt I hadn’t done properly. They also understood just how stressful I found it all, and took the time to go over my issues as they arose. They were so patient, kind and reassuring, even when I was being totally irrational and this gave me confidence that I had the necessary documents, and met the requirements. And it was as easy as they said."
Jan Evans - Immigration Client "I would like to thank People Force for your patience and support during this extremely long visa decision process.
Over the past 3 months, they were so professional and at the same time pleasant and optimistic that I was sure that I would get my visa. I will recommend People Force to everybody I know who wants to move to the UK." Vjekoslav Jankovic – Consultant – SOFGEN "I’ve worked with many immigration lawyers in the past and I can say without a doubt that the advisors at People Force are leaps and bounds better than any other. They put the personal touch in the job which is very refreshing. They took the time to explain things thoroughly over the phone, answer questions over email and were very easy to reach. People Force are reliable, responsive and genuinely cares about their clients. I am looking forward to working with them in the future and strongly recommend them for any immigration needs. Again, thank you People Force for answering my million questions. Could not have done with without you."
Abhishek Dahiya – Immigration Client "I strongly recommend People Force to anyone who needs any immigration advice.

They supported me throughout the entire process, ensuring I had the correct documentation to support my new application. Thanks to People Force I had no problems in obtaining my new Bio-metric Residence Permit." Pavan Lankipalli - Immigration Client "Point to Point Education is a teacher recruitment agency that supports teachers in securing teaching contracts in England. We have had the pleasure of being partnered with People Force since 2012 when we opened.
We have always had accurate immigration advice for our teachers and client schools. To date we have had a 100% success rate for every licence and every Tier 2 visa application that we have referred to People Force. We see them as an extension of our family business and know that they will work endlessly to seek the best outcome for any candidate or client we refer to them. We can be guaranteed that they are professional, knowledgeable and reliable and we would not hesitate to recommend their services. They are very detail-orientated and with the ambiguous rules and guidance notes available on immigration and visas the ease of dealing with People Force takes away all anxiety and pressure when a lot of cost is involved in an application. People Force offer regular training and support to our resourcing team and provide regular insight and updates to our Directors, so we are always up to date with ongoing changes. They always make themselves available to us (across several time zones) and are very customer focused, driven and accountable. We are very grateful to have People Force as our immigration expert and business partner." Carly Liddel – Director – Point to Point Education "As a specialist recruitment business with 100 people located in 8 countries around the world we needed to find a global partner who could manage all our visa and immigration requirements. John Carmichael and his team have helped us secure visas for our employees in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe. Immigration requirements differ greatly in each country so it’s important that my team have the trust in People Force’s Global OneSource to manage our expectations in terms of costs and time lines. Our Values shape the way we work, how we make decisions and how we operate as a business – we have the same expectations of our global partners and we see People Force as a natural extension of our HR team."
Omar Akram – Chief Operating Officer – Proco Global "People Force’s HR and systems knowledge allowed us to make an informed selection decision for our HR and Payroll Software needs."
Kelly Fletcher – HR Manager – Sony Music Publishing "I was introduced to People Force after spending quite a bit of time searching the web and various HR publications for the right HRMS – I couldn’t see the wood through the trees!
People Force came to our offices and talked through everything in bite-sized chunks – from the type of system we wanted, obtaining demos for the sites which fitted our criteria, right through to contract negotiation. The service that they provided was invaluable. Their knowledge of available products and options to suit our growing business were second to none." Polly Young – Central Support - Saffron Insurance |

Their knowledge within the sector is undoubtedly their biggest strength."

We are still very happy with the service and would recommend them completely.”
Age UK Bristol "We appointed People Force to support us with researching solutions that could offer us a time and attendance system to meet the needs of our growing business.
We would recommend People Force as they have demonstrated to us that they were able to understand our needs and wishes and subsequently present us with a range of options for consideration. People Force were especially helpful in supporting us to ask relevant questions of potential providers so that we had the appropriate information to help our decision making. Communication with People Force was excellent and we felt that our project was expertly presented to us because the team had really listened and understood our business. The preparation work was thorough and detailed which proved to be invaluable."

Monique Crawford - Maths Teacher - Bedford Academy "I applied for a role that People Force were recruiting for in the UK. After a seamless recruitment process, I was offered the job by the end client. At that point, People Forces Immigration team took over the process to manage the Certificate of Sponsorship, Tier 2 visa application and relocation process. This means I enjoyed a complete service that stemmed from recruitment, immigration and relocation – I would highly recommend their services."
Yamen Sehgal - Senior Java Developer - Immigration Client "We engaged People Force to assist us through the selection process. They helped us to fully identify our business needs and find suitable potential suppliers. They also supervised the tender process, organising demonstrations and site visits, and helped us develop objective criteria for selecting the preferred partners.
We found People Force to be very professional in their approach and utilising their knowledge and experience undoubtedly benefitted us through the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending People Force to organisations looking to conduct a similar exercise." Craig Turley - Finance Director - Gresham Office Furniture "Where we really benefited from the experience of the People Force team, was when we had found the system we wanted.

Jacqui Okundaye – Head of HR and Recruitment – MMT Digital "With People Force's experience and knowledge of the HR systems market, they were able to provide us with accurate and unbiased insights into what each system could or could not do. They also took the time to fully understand our requirements which allowed them to map the market for suitable systems only. We only had to deal with one company rather than having to deal with all the vendors individually."

We would highly recommend People Force if you are looking to successfully implement a new HR system."

As War Child is an international charity, People Force were acutely aware of our budgetary restraints and worked tirelessly to ensure that this project remained on track and within budget.
With People Force International's support, we were able to reach an informed decision to select our chosen HR system. We are very happy with our decision to work with People Force and would wholeheartedly recommend them to other organisations in a similar situation." Andrea Vogel - Head of People & Achievement - War Child "Throughout the data cleansing exercise, People Force were extremely diligent, responsive and supportive to our project team. We were impressed with both the speed, skill and attention to detail demonstrated by the Data Consultant.

With People Force's support, our data was successfully uploaded to our new system within project timelines. We are very happy with our decision to work with People Force and would wholeheartedly recommend them to other organisations in a similar situation." Andrea Vogel - Head of People & Achievement - War Child "We engaged with People Force International to consult with our company as part of the tender process for an integrated HR and Payroll system during Q3 and Q4 2017.
People Force supported the tender process from long-list through to contracting; they were the first point of contact for prospective suppliers and they managed contact with them throughout negotiations. They also provided consultative advice on system choice to support our decision-making process. We found People Force to be professional, knowledgeable in the field, and completed work to the agreed scope and timescales without exception. People Force were a valuable component of the team throughout this process and we would not hesitate to work with them again." Ed Haslam - HR Director - Forterra "As a charity we are always looking for the best value for money when considering products and services, People Force helped us to find both when looking for a new HR software package.

They have recommended a system, which we have now purchased and rolled out."

An impartial Consultant with the knowledge and experience was an invaluable requirement and People Force fulfilled this role with the highest level of professionalism."
Roanna Blacklock – Head of HR - Phaidon International "People Force were very knowledgeable and professional throughout, providing insightful guidance and challenge with the design of our processes. I would recommend them in particular for support with implementing HR systems, but have no doubt that they would offer the same level of professional support with other services which they offer."
Kathryn Seys – Group Head of HR – SQW Group "Support from People Force was extremely valuable saving the firm an enormous amount of time researching best HRIS solutions for our multidivisional business that is spread across the UK. Our business has over 3000 employees based in various sites across the UK coming together as a result of both organic growth and acquisitions, making our requirements quite complex.
People Force were available at all times – anytime I needed to pick up the phone and ask questions they were always there and provided answers promptly."

At all times, People Force was helpful, responsive and very professional."
Jon Kuhrt – Executive Director – West London Mission "People Force lead us through the phases of needs assessment, request for information to a large set of providers, live presentations and additional investigation on international payroll management by these providers.
People Force, provided a systematic and lively manner of leading non-experts (and experts) through processes, they do not impose what you should do, however will make very transparent what the consequences of these choices are. The documentation and reports are thorough, complete, well-structured and understandable. Their authority in the field of HRIS, has been reassuring to make a sensible choice and not oversee any blind spots. We have enjoyed working with People Force and recommend their services to anyone."

My experience of People Force is that they are very proactive."

With the help of People Force we feel confident to have chosen the right system to meet Lumos’ long term needs."
