"Affinity helped to set up all of our HR and people management processes from scratch, including the legal processes/requirements, hiring contracts, managing of 3rd parties (eg recruitment agencies), internal HR processes and ongoing HR requirements (eg appraisal systems, commission planning, resource planning & scaling, etc.)

Throughout this time, Affinity have been - in my opinion - one of the biggest assets to Swyx in the UK in terms of enabling the business from an operational standpoint. They work relentlessly with the managers and individuals here and in Europe and are both diligent and professional in terms of ensuring processes, procedures and ensuring that Swyx is covered fully from an employment legislation point of view, whilst not afraid to challenge when it is needed. Employees and managers alike feel they can trust Affinity as an HR resource and this is particularly important in a smaller business where an external resource that can be seen to be knowledgeable, impartial and fair is a distinct advantage to both solve problems and add value and an independent view to the decision making process.

Affinity also were given the contract to recruit sales/marketing personnel here in the UK and were particularly effective where other agencies were not in terms of finding the right candidates, screening them well and preparing a shortlist to present to Senior Managers here.

Overall, I find Affinity knowledgeable, honest, hard-working and a strong business partner for the UK operation, and would not hesitate to recommend them to any business looking to outsource their HR function."

Dave Smith, VP Marketing EMEA, Swyx Solutions

 

"I am delighted to confirm Affinity Consultancy Services has provided an Essential Employment Programme for both our holding company and subsidiary Lordswood. We have aggressive growth plans for the next two years and putting in place vital HR framework has been a key priority.

We have worked very closely with Affinity during this time and they have assisted and advised us in many HR areas including Recruitment, changes in Employment Legislation, etc. They have also provided us with an Employment Satisfaction Survey along with Procedures & Processes that we have now put in place.

Working closely with Affinity has been invaluable in ensuring the continued motivation of the staff and contributed to the success we enjoy as a company."

"At Asptel Services Ltd we pride ourselves on recruiting only the best Nortel trained engineers. It was with that in mind we turned to Affinity to meet a specific requirement for an engineer. Working closely with their professional staff allowed us to recruit just the right person. That same engineer has continued his development and training to be in the top tier of engineers in his field. I'd have no hesitation in using the services of Affinity again in the future."

Rob Clarke, Commercial Services Director - Asptel Services Limited

 

"The Trustees and I can not thank Affinity enough for all the help and support in getting our HR Policies, procedures and systems reviewed and revised over the past year.

With all the new HR Legislation and the increasing 'red-tape' that organisations have to take account of, we find Affinity's knowledge, speedy response and approachability absolutely invaluable. However large or small the query may be, they are always there to point us in the right direction.

We hugely value their on-going support and simply could not have managed the whole process without them."
