Kash helped me find a DevOps role at Perlego in July 2019, having dealt with a lot of recruiters over the years, from both sides of a role, I can vouch for his professionalism, proclivity to create long term relationships and knowledge of the industry particularly around cloud computing. Whilst the vast majority of recruiters play the game poorly by numbers, Kash is one of the few who actually knows what he's talking about and is able to deliver results for those looking for a new role and organisations looking for new team members
Kashif is a unicorn; I’ve dealt with a lot of recruiters from both sides over the years, and none are in the same league!
My experience with him was as a candidate, and it was extremely positive in every aspect. He has a very good knowledge of the industry, which means rather than sending 10 irrelevant job specs he sent one - which was a very good fit.
He was friendly and professional throughout the process, contactable without being overbearing, and in the end when I decided against taking the role there was no pressure at all - in fact he was very supportive.
Most recruiters are solely focused on getting their next commission, whereas Kashif focuses on building solid long term relationships.
If it were up to me, we’d be hiring through him right now, and if I’m in the job market again he’ll be the first person I phone.
I was fortunate enough to have the experience of working with Kash as my recruiter. He showed a deep understanding of my professional aspirations and made tireless efforts to find a suitable match for me. He was always available to provide answers to any queries and offerring support throughout the entire recruitment process.
His commitment to finding the perfect fit for both the company and job seeker is remarkable. Kash stands out with his vast industry knowledge and exceptional communication and people skills. He possesses a natural ability to connect with clients and job seekers, and goes above and beyond to ensure a satisfactory outcome for all parties involved.
As I feel grateful for the chance to have worked with him, I strongly recommend Kash to anyone searching for a top-notch recruiter.

Yasin goes further than his role expects and is happy to speak to people on a personal plane as well as a professional one.
Adam PatersonAI Solutions ArchitectRecommended Yasin Khan, September 2021Yasin led on my international recruitment, was open, transparent and fully engaged throughout the process, responding quickly to questions with insights which helped to steer the journey. Both professional and personable, anyone lucky enough to engage with Yasin has a great right hand man on their team.
Yasin is an exceptional recruiter. He helped me find my ideal job in a tough climate. If you are looking for a career change, get in touch with Yasin. I'm thankful.
Kashif was a fantastic colleague and driven individual. It comes to no surprise that he's done so well within the industry due to his attention to detail, hard work and genuine interest in peoples job searches. He taught me a lot and was often at hand to help others. He's a real asset to the business and if I knew of anyone looking for an open source job in the UK he would be the first person I'd recommend.
Kash is an inspiration to everyone in the recruitment industry, and to me personally in life. The morals he stands for, and how he carries himself, separate him from the rest.
From only knowing Kash since I started with Explore, he has shown immense loyalty and respect, as well as appreciation for me. He has also helped me develop personally & professionally on countless occasions.
Without a doubt, Kash is and will always be the best manager I've ever experienced.
I know we will always keep in touch, thank you for everything Kash!
I recommend Yasin for every single (and not) web software engineer seeking for a role (including Magento). Yasin is proactive, persistent; possesses strong communication skills. i can describe Yasin as kind and friendly. I was looking for a role, he got a great one in no time. I appreciate Yasin's attitude, passion to help and ambition in this sphere. He is motivated and determined to have the candidate placed in the right company.
Don't hesitate to reach out to Yasin when on the job hunt!
Kashif took care of my recruitment process for Avanti. He was polite, attentive, an excellent communicator and displayed his professionalism during the whole process. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone.
Yasin is an amazing recruiter, who always goes the extra mile. He is very friendly and supportive at every stage. He always picks up the phone and informs you about everything on a regular basis. I really recommend Yasin as a recruiter, it was a pleasure to work with him!
Yasin was very approachable and supportive, and always listened to my requirements. Very pleasurable experience working with him finding myself the best role!
I've known Yasin for about 18 months as a potential candidate, and as a recruiter, from my perspective I can say he's a rare find; a truly thoughtful, considered and caring IT recruiter. He takes the time to learn about the knowledge and ambitions that exist on this side of the development fence and Yasin, importantly, makes space to explore what makes a candidate tick. A skill not often found in these times.
It was a great experience recruiting through Kashif, very professional and knowledgeable. Made the process easy and handed out some great advice, highly recommended for PHP recruiting.
Great guy to work with, very excited and passionate for his work and an expert at getting me a job. Highly recommended.
Kashif was a great help in finding a role that was great for me!
I accepted an offer for the first role we pursued (it was a great fit), but he had others lined up in case it didn't work out. He didn't push me to interview for multiple at once, and let me deal with them one at a time ,which was a great help to reduce the stress in searching. When I was having doubts about my fit for the role, he was great to talk things through with and stopped me panicking too much!
All in all, a pleasure to work with!
Huge thanks to Kashif for helping me find my ideal job. His positive (and somehow calm) energy made every step a pleasure. I felt my needs were heard and Kash's expertise and guidance meant I was able to find the perfect role for me. Would highly recommend Kash to anyone seeking a new role. Thanks again!
Yasin is very supportive , approachable and caring. I highly recommend Yasin!
I can't speak highly enough about Kash. I've had the privilege of working with and under Kash for the last 4 years. He's a Manager, a Mentor, a Leader and a Friend.
The vast majority of success I've seen in my career can be directly attributed to Kash, his expertise of a notoriously competitive market and his ability to bring the best out of everyone around him is unmatched. Kash was able to instill his work ethic, drive and passion for recruitment in me from the very beginning, he's there with you when times are great and he's there when times are tough, standing with you all the way. If I need help with things (even outside of work!) Kash will be there to lend an ear and give you sound and honest advice with no hesitation.
Full of energy, tones of enthusiasm and a great sense of humor make Kash a joy to work with on a personal level too!
It's been a genuine pleasure to work with Kash over the years and honestly can't put into words how truly brilliant he is.
Kashif has been an exceptional recruiter from the point of initial contact through to onboarding into my new role. At every stage of the recruitment process Kashif continually impressed with his knowledge, expertise and his ability to navigate the challenges of recruiting in these uncertain times. I have no hesitation in recommending Kashif.
Yasin is one of the most supportive recruiters that I have come across, he is very approachable, caring and has a great attention to detail.
He tries to understand all of the requirements and uses his professionalism and knowledge to find the best solution possible.
Yasin kept me updated at each step, he went over and beyond to provide relevant advices and outstanding support.
I would highly recommend Yasin!
10/10 :)
Kash is an exceptional recruiter. He helped me find my ideal job. If you are looking for a career change, get in touch with Kash
Kashif helped me find a role in UK a few years ago. He was very patient and he helped with advice about interview process, relocating to London and settling in. Thank you!
A big thanks to Kash for helping me find my dream job amidst the pandemic! I told Kash I wanted to focus on frontend development, and he helped me find a company that really suits me. He let me feel comfortable and he was always positive and supportive, and helped me secure a great job offer.
I really enjoyed working with Kashif. He was professional and friendly. He found a good company and matched my skills. I will highly recommend working with Kashif.
Thank you for helping me secure my job at RemitONE. You were very helpful and quick on your replies.
Amazing work done in connecting and meeting the needs of both my self and the new company.
In a world where uncertainty seems ruling, I have no doubt that Kash and his team helped me made the best decision possible.
Super!
It was great working with Kash, for my next perm role. He’s professional, friendly and smart. He cares about finding a good company to match the person. I highly recommend working with him.
I really enjoyed working with Kashif. It felt more like working with a professional recruiter who actually cared about the person and not just the commission. I recommend him for any tech person who is searching for his/her next dream position.
Yasin is one of the best recruiters I worked with. He handled the whole process from the initial call to the final offer with great professionalism and attention to detail. Yasin scheduled a prep call before every major step in the interview process which really helped me get a better grip on what is required to get my strong points across. I know that recruiters may not get the best name out there, especially in the tech market, but there are some really good ones and Yasin is definitely one of them
Bilal is, without a doubt the most experienced and knowledgeable recruitment consultant I've met in 7 years I've been in London. I was working with him on a contract Developer role with Google which went absolute smoothly. His technical understanding combined with his market expertise makes Bilal undoubtedly the best choice of recruiter for your next career move within the IT area.
It has been a great pleasure to work with Bilal. He's always very professional and he helped me to secure a remote contract. I can very highly recommend him!
Working with Yasin was a treat, kept the process simple and was readily available as/when needed
Kash was efficient, effective and helpful all the way through the process. I'm grateful to him for helping me find a great position. I would recommend working with Kash!
I worked with Kash over the last few years to not only source for roles myself, but to also help find staff for my previous companies, it was always a pleasure as he provided a human approach as well as being technically knowledgeable
I've been in a contract for almost a year thanks to Yasin, is one of the good one.
He is always willing to get things done and help with all the processes, helpful when becoming a Contractor for the first time.
He is always happy to clarify things and makes sure everything is in order.
In the about 30 phone calls I had to do he is always picking up the phone, never fail.
I really recommend him as a recruiter because of professionally and attention.
Kashif is fantastic to work with and has a reliable, dedicated and solid work ethic. I found his enthusiasm and positive attitude very motivating.
Having worked with Kashif as a candidate, I found Kash to be hugely proactive and open through my recruitment process. From application to offer the process, the process was completed within 3 weeks with calls during critical points of the process 2 to 3 times a day with me, which managed my expectations and allowed me to make some crucial choices when the time came. Thanks, Kash!
I worked with Kashif, whilst looking for perm roles, he was very helpful, I would recommend using Kashif to help you find a job with a personal approach!
Kashif was recommend to me by a former colleague, and for the past few years, he as been my go for employment opportunities. I've experienced first hand, how he not only excel at the core elements of talent consultant. But also at the small detail, that extend well beyond the scope of role. For example, I was impressed by Kashif's ability to deal with even the toughest clients – effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among consulting professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. Because of this, his professional, hard work and dedication to to his talent, Kashif earns my highest recommendation.
Kashif is a brilliant recruiter that I'd recommend to anyone - he landed me a role at a fantastic company that fits my career choices and skills perfectly. Throughout the process he was attentive, professional and a delight to work with.
Bilal really knows his sector and the market very well. He has great insight into current trends in technology and matching the right candidates. He is also a real grafter who actively looks for opportunities and very proactive when he has a lead and progressing a candidate forward. I was particularly impressed with his communication skills, keeping me informed at every stage. I find Bilal very amiable and look forward to working with him again soon.
Kashif was incredibly professional and a delight to deal with throughout the recruitment process. I do not hesitate to recommend him.
I highly recommend Kashif. He takes his profession seriously, is always attentive, always willing to gain insight and works hard not only to deliver results but good results.
Kash was very helpful as an agent. He wasn't like the agents that don't contact you as soon as they have filled a job. He got me a small term contract when I needed a stop gap. He is very energetic and I could feel he was doing a lot of work on my behalf. He has placed me in multiple positions and is always looking to maintain connections for more than just one job. He found me appropriate jobs rather than just trying to push the jobs he had at hand. I am in a long term position now, but would talk to him if I ever wanted a change. Kash seems more honest than most agents, which is the main problem with agents.
I reccomend Kashif very much and can be contacted any time.
I dealt with Bilal this April and he has been an absolute breath of fresh air. He was attentive, helped negotiate a higher day rate and an all round great bloke. Although the role didn't pan out I wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future. A 10/10 chap
Bilal has been great representing me for contract roles, he's quick to reply, good sense of humour and most importantly works hard to get you a rate that represents your skill level. I look forward to working with him in future!
I've worked with Kash for many tears and he's always provided me with relevant php laravel developer roles
He's helped secure me 2 roles in the past and we've developed a good personal relationship, I do recommend Kash, he seems to know every php developer in London too.
I am very happy with the role that Kashif found me with a leading affiliate marketing firm in London. For me this has led to numerous great opportunities for career progression.
Bilal is very talented person. A great resource and an asset to any company. He is a smart worker rather than a hard worker which makes him stand out in Crowd.
I wish you all the Best Bilal, It is pleasure working with you.
Kashif is real professional with great knowledge about the market and great attention to details. He got me a job in London in a sector I like in a very short period of time. Also he is very responsive and is always ready to answer all the questions. In total it was very pleasing to work with him. Highly recommending.
Looking for the best!?
No need to look further than Kashif! I worked with and then under him for a year, by far the best recruiter. His Knowledge of the market is immense and his man management skills are incredible. I learnt a lot working alongside such a true professional in his field.
If you want the best, then Kash is your man!
He is literally the best. Always gets a large selection of positions that are relevant in every sense and is very knowledgeable about the roles. Helps with every bit throughout the entire process. We have been working together for many years now and I know I don't need to call another agent to get all the good opportunities in front of me. He always picks up the phone, even in weird times and always helps me to think through what would be the best for me. He always helped to prepare for interviews and many times helped me to build up my courage and self-esteem with his amazing support. He always gets me the feedback about the interviews I had, so I know what skills I need to further. He also understands the intricacies of development and can always have an interesting conversation with him about engineering. He really puts all in to be the best in his field. I couldn't possibly imagine how someone could be better. He helped me a lot in achieving my career goals of which I'm really grateful to him. I wish he had lived in London, I would make him come to the pub every Friday!
I am amazed how Kashif can always recommend a company to a employee that matches both expectations.
Bilal was great to deal with, great guidance throughout the interview process and quick to respond - would love to work with him again!
Great to work with and always put my needs first and made sure to work with me to make sure the roles suited me. Would highly recommend.
Perfectly understood my new role expectations from the first time and provided me relevant job positions (really much appreciated). Always clear and efficient in his communication, it is a real pleasure to work with Kashif !
Kashif has added real value for me whilst I was looking for work, providing with great job offers, good and clear communication and eventually filling a position with a great client! Clever, friendly and dependable! Thank you!
Bilal has been able to find me great positions, and has an excellent telephone manner. He resolves issues quickly and effectively, and without spamming the inbox of his clients with unrelated roles. Would happily work with him again.
Bilal possesses a deep knowledge of the IT sector and works with a wide network of well-qualified companies. What I value the most is that he takes care of the candidate listening to the requests and being open in accept different point of views.
He was always helpful and reachable, also on weekend, providing me with top offers for different projects. He totally understood my needs. I would definitely work with him again!
Having a partnership with Bilal has significantly improved the qualities of my job-offers on several key roles.
Bilal is one of the very few recruiters I enjoyed working with. I really value that he's ever only approached me with relevant offers, while that's so rare in the recruitment profession. Bilal's professional approach made the whole recruitment process a breeze.
Bilal is one of the most reliable recruitment consultants I have ever worked with, he has placed me in two consecutive contracts and ensured that my second contract started as soon as my first one finished.
He has delivered above my expectations and I now consider him to be a friend as he always has my best interests at heart, this is shown through his great work ethic.
I would highly recommend him to contractors and clients as he is a trustworthy recruiter, which is hard to find nowadays. Well done Bilal and I hope we can keep working together for the foreseeable future.
I worked closely with Kash whilst searching for my last role, after really understanding my motivations for a new role, he managed to find something that suited my needs very well. We went through a seamless procedure and secured the right role together!
I have been fortunate enough to work with Kash over the last 3 + years. In that time I have seen him progress up the ranks from consultant, to senior, to team leader, to senior team leader and now my direct boss. I can say with complete honesty you won't meet a more genuine, sound, and knowledgeable recruiter and manager than him. In an industry notorious for selfishness Kash bucks this trend and always aligns your interests with and often above his own. A true gent, and someone I consider a friend too, can't speak highly enough of him.
Kash is brilliant at managing each individual differently, knowing how to get the best out of you by understanding you as a person and being someone that you can go to for anything (in & out of work).
He brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the business (with his very loud claps), and encourages you in every scenario whilst showing you to be cautious and look at every angle. He's dealt with every situation there is in recruitment so his experience is vital
He genuinely wants you to succeed and will take a lot of time out of his own to dedicate to your progress. He's not only a great manager but also a great friend
I worked with Kashif at the Explore Group. He was my manager, my mentor and my friend. He taught me how to close a deal and how to keep calm under pressure.
He has played a key part in my past and current success as I am still implementing the things I learnt from him in my career.

January 14, 2019, Bilal reported to Kashif directly
I worked alongside Kash to kick start my career in recruitment, he helped get me up to speed and taught me lots about Open-Source Development and languages. His main strength lies within his ability to relationship build and network - We have attended various meet ups together as well as helping me get a firm foothold in the market. I hope to keep improving my skills alongside Kash and highly recommend anybody looking to do the same to get in touch ASAP.
Not only is Kash an exceptional manager, a great leader, and quite possibly the most organised person I've ever come into contact with, he is a fantastic mentor. He has taught me a lot of intangible skills (people/communication/dealing with pressure) that have advanced my career and recruitment ability level 10-fold, and he does it with with no expectation of reciprocation - a rare trait in a recruiter! It's a pleasure working with Kash day-to-day and I hope to continue working with him for the foreseeable.
Kash is one of the best recruiters I've worked with. Since the day I started with no experience in any form of sales he's been in charge of mentoring and teaching me everything I need to know about recruitment. I doubt I would of had half the success I have had in recruitment if not for his influence and guidance since I joined Explore.
Kashif is a great professional extremely committed and knowledgeable. He managed to turn my recruitment process in such a pleasant experience taken the pressure away from me and allowing me to focus completely on the job opportunities at hand.
He helped me find my first job in London.
Kashif was a pleasure to work with throughout the recruitment process and provided excellent advice and help on all levels. There was a key focus on finding the right role for me from the outset, and Kashif was great at keeping in touch with updates and handling any issues.
I am grateful for that and I highly recommend him.
For a while during my time at Explore, I was managed by Kashif who demonstrated a clear sense of good leadership. He taught me many things that I now know about, not only within the recruitment industry but also some interpersonal skills I wouldn't have otherwise acquired. Kashif makes it easy to ask many questions without feeling like you are a burden which I believe is very important for development. Not only is Kashif a major player in Explore's expansion and success due to his initiative and direction, but he has also become a close friend :)
Stop looking for a good recruiter!
Kashif is the best, period.
I heard from Kash from other Web Developers that were super happy with his work, they wouldnt even work with other recruiters.
What makes him the best? Always has a lot of opportunities open, try his best to give you a very good description of the job, beyond the formal, and sincerely recommends the option that bests suits you, when I say sincerely I mean he will tell you if something is not really a good option for what you are looking for.
If you like a role he will do a really great job to get you into that interview, do a proper follow up and help you to get the conditions you are looking for...all of this with any pushing, no crazy calling or weird attitudes like some other recruiters. One time I ended accepting an offer from other recruiter and Kash was just cool, always happy for your progress in your carreer, that was really amazing.
Kash has been probably the best carreer coach, even for roles he is not recommending.
this guy really knows what he is doing but manages his bussiness with a human touch.
I recommend Kashif to all developers. He found my job in London really fast, it took only a week. His knowledge about market is very good. Job offer that he proposed fitted all my requirements and my previous experience. It was a pleasure to work with him.
It was a pleasure working with him from start to the finish. He is a man who would keep his word and say only what he can do. I will continue working with him for the long run and definitely recommend him to others. He will deliver what he promises.
It's been a pleasure working with Bilal over the last couple of weeks and helping to secure my next contract. Was great to communicate with and in the final day or so of finalising contracts, he worked late to make sure everything was done to both the clients and my satisfaction and keeping us both in the loop. Highly recommend him, will be my first call when looking for a new role and looking forward to working with him again in the future.
I worked with Kash whilst moving on from my Architect position, Kash worked patiently and to my time scales whilst i was looking for a job which meant he could really understand my needs. We secured a great role which saw me work with Kash on the other side of the fence as he helped hire developers for my team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kash if you're looking for a new job or new talent.
Bilal did a great job placing me. Kept me informed at all stages of the process and got back to me with answers to questions quickly. In a world where recruiters are often given a bad name, Bilal definitely bucks the expected trend.
About a year ago I got in touch with Bilal. That time I was assigned on project but he kept in touch with me in very professional manner and once my project came to finish, he put enormous effort to find me new contract and he succeeded within few days. I can only say positives about cooperation with Bilal as he is very professional, honest and listens to contractor’s requirements. I am keen to highlight that I did not spot any signs of unfair play such as fishing for contacts, disturbing me with unwanted calls or putting me into positions I am not suitable for. Great to find you Bilal, and I can clearly recommend you to anybody in my network! Keep doing your best!
It was a pleasure working with Kashif. He is stand up guy that really knows what he does. He helped me find my next job at a very important time in my career. I am grateful for that and I highly recommend him.
I was particularly impressed by Bilal and the way he handled the entire recruitment process. A very punctual and professional individual. It was a pleasure working with him.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kashif. He was highly professional yet friendly during our collaboration. Kashif was quick to understand the kind of role I was looking for and therefore put me forward for positions that were a great match for me. He was supportive throughout the entire process and responded to any form of contact immediately. Thank you Kashif for finding me a job and company that's a perfect fit so quickly.
Bilal is very talented, humble and respecting consultant. I've worked with him, and was able to secure the role very quickly. Bilal knew exactly what the client was after, matching that to what I had to offer. He also made sure that I was up to date every step of the way which isn't very common. I was very delighted with the outcome and would absolutely work with Bilal again. I would recommend Bilal to anyone looking to secure a contract role in a heartbeat.
I found Bilal professional and very helpful, he provided very prompt efficient recruitment service. Would definitely recommend.
I find Bilal to be very engaging, dependable and high in integrity. He's identified very good candidates for our company, some of them successfully. Bilal is always quick to help. He is very effective at his job and it’s a pleasure to recommend him as an accomplished recruiting professional.
Mariusz GórskiHead of Software Engineering, Chrysalis FinanceRecommended Bilal Khan, June 2018I highly recommend Bilal. He is extremely professional and really looks after your entire journey. As you can see from his previous recommendations Bilal really sets a new standard.
I needed a quick turnaround on a contract and Bilal was able to provide the support and service I needed to do that. Interviews were set up quickly and negotiations over the contract were settled swiftly.
Very highly recommended.
Kashif is easily the friendliest, most-effective and most professional recruiter I've had the pleasure of working with as a job-seeker. Unlike most recruiters who give the impression that you're just their next commission, Kash actually cares about you as a person which is very refreshing! He also negotiated a higher salary for me than was initially on the table, which is much appreciated!
Kashif is a very dedicated and professional recruiter, he helped my find my new job.
A real pleasure to work with, he understands the needs quickly and has very good communication skills.
He is the number one recruiter to work with.
Kashif is exceptional at matching candidates and employers. I have worked with him while hiring and while seeking a new position. He has a genuine interest in fulfilling the needs of both employees and employers. He is professional, prompt, honest and always does a great job. Working with him is a pleasure.
Working with Kash was quite interesting as it felt like talking to a friend and that made the whole process as smooth as it can be.
Although he was very professional and knows what he does. He gave me plenty of suggestions, he was supportive and help me throughout the process which helped me to secure the best opportunity.
Bilal has been a pleasure to deal with and is always upfront, honest and trustworthy. I admire his approach to recruitment and always felt comfortable discussing confidential information with him.
Always approachable and goes out of his way to help.
I loved working with Kash and hope to keep doing so for the future. He is a very dynamic, efficient and energetic recruiter, always willing to do his best in terms of advises, making sure that everything is prepared before the interviews. He played a big role in securing a job for me and making the recruiting process a nice experience. I am grateful for that and I will highly recommend him, as others recommended him to me :).
Kashif was a great help in getting my new role. He was really helpful and available with every question or problem I've had. He made me feel confident with his professionalism and dedication.
I recently secured a new CTO position through Kashif. He was great through the entire process and is very easy to speak to. He is a great listener and puts you first.
I found Bilal very helpful and professional, he provided very prompt efficient recruitment service. Would definitely recommend.
Bilal has been a very dedicated and professional recruitment consultant. Bilal shows a good understanding of people and of the technologies he is recruiting for, but beyond that, he has an understanding of the importance of building relationships. To my mind, this is what sets Bilal apart from his peers.
Overall Bilal is one of the best recruiters I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
My experience of working with Kashif was exceptional. From initial contact until he successfully placed me into a Senior Symfony Developer Role with Commercial People, he consistently supported me in my application. He went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. While working with Kashif I also had his personal number which made it easy for me to communicate with him. What sets him apart from the other recruiters is that he only puts you forward for roles you are suitable for. Highly recommended.
I have been working with Kashif for quite a while and he probably helped me the most when I was looking for technical candidates at Iron-Group.
Kashif understands the needs of his clients and is able to offer the best matching candidates.
He has always been friendly and never pushy so it is a great pleasure to work with him.
It was great working with Bilal he's done a fantastic job finding the perfect contract role. During the process he has been very proactive finding opportunities and was very communicative, guiding through to the interview stages.
I also believe his has excellent quality of making friendship very quickly. He's certainly worth keeping in your contact list ;) Many thanks for your hard work Bilal and wish you all the best.
I worked with Bilal on a small e-Commerce project, it was really good working with him, I appreciate his continuous engagement in establishing good relationship with involved parties.
I would love to work with him in near future and I would recommend him to any clients or candidates.
As a Magento developer, finding opportunities isn't that difficult. Finding a Magento developer on the other hand is a struggle. Bilal was one of the best recruitment agents I had the chance to work with and by far the most dedicated one. He is highly professional, pays attention to details and always try to maintain a balance between the client and the candidate.
Bilal is probably the best agent I have worked with in my contracting career. He is always helpful, responds quickly and goes above and beyond whether in securing a position or helping during a contract. He has a good relationship with the clients, too. I cannot recommend him enough!
Bilal's diligence in finding perfectly suited high quality developer contract roles is second to none. He takes the time to understand your skill set and experience before expertly matching that against his extensive client database and their current requirements. Then, he personally follows up with those clients until the perfect match is found. I highly recommend Bilal to both contractors and business clients alike, if you're looking to perfectly match the best available skill with pressing business needs.
It was really nice of Kashif to go extra mile in finding the right jobs and give frequent updates throughout the recruitment process. And with the supports he provides, I would highly recommend Kashif if someone is looking for a new job.
It was great working with Kashif, he's done a fantastic job finding the perfect workplace and role i have been looking for. During the process he has been very proactive finding opportunities and was very communicative, guiding through to the last stage of interview.

I don't hesitate recommending Kashif, he was very friendly the whole time and he got me the job I was looking for. He also managed to get me the best salary possible.

I’d thoroughly recommend Kashif to anyone looking for a role in Back/Front End Web Development.
Kashif really know his stuff and he is passionated by his job.
He makes the whole process very simple and straightforward.
It was a pleasure to work with him.
Kash was really involved into whole process helping finding a job. What I like he understand technology differences and propose only offers I can suit best. He also support a lot before and after each interview. I would recommend Kash for everybody looking for job.
As soon as I got in contact with Kashif he had more good quality leads for me than any other recruiter I had spoken to. He is always available to help, was able to move fast on my preferred leads, and made sure I found the company I wanted and got the best deal for me.
Kash is an consultant of an employment agency and referred me to my current employer. Kash is a polite and patience person to help me to face the problem I got.
Sometimes he keep updating the situation of my job application to me even he is in holiday, so I think Kash have passionate in his job.
After deciding to make my move to London I contacted Kash in order to help me find a position. I worked with Kash on an exclusive basis and he helped secure me a great job after just two interviews. Kash was available to answer any of my questions not only about the interview process, but also about moving to London and how to do everything. (He actually knows about tech too) Kash has become a friend in the process and has continued to help me after securing the job. I would definitely recommend him as an outstanding person in his field.
I started working with Kash on an exclusive basis, together we agreed a best method of contact. We passively reviewed the market together and after completely understanding my motivations he only contacted me with relevant roles. Kash managed the process from start to finish, he provided a personal approach to recruitment which made me feel the complete opposite of a 'candidate' or number. I would recommend anybody within the Tech community who is looking for a brand new role to get in contact.
Kash helped me to find my amazing new position. As a php developer when I was looking for jobs I was contacted by at least 40 recruiters. I can bravely say that he is one of the best of his profession. I really liked that he understood that I can’t pick up the phone anytime and he found a way to keep in touch. He sent me really good positions that were good fit to my skills (once 9 in one go). At the very end, when he had to represent my interest at my new employer he made an amazing job. I would highly recommend him, what’s more you can request when you are looking for a new job as a php develope
Kashif handles himself very well as a recruiter, a natural ability to lead which many individuals never achieve, he manages to take control of his market, his workload and his team very well and is certainly a talent that will ensure he makes an impressive manager of the future, if that wasn't enough I always see him go the extra mile for his candidates and clients alike.
From a marketing perspective, Kash continues to strive for the best, which for any recruiter is key to succeeding, he picks up the skills he learns quickly and applies them to his work - always keen to perfect what he is doing and ensure he is at the top of his game!
Working with Kash felt like talking to a friend. He's a very skilled recruiter and he helped me to secure a very good job in London. He always goes the extra mile. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who's serious about getting a good job in IT.
I was approached by Kashif on Linkedin last year, following on from skype calls and conversations I started working with him on an exclusive basis. I then managed to secure a great position that matched my current skills whilst being able to improve myself. Kashif then provided me information that helped me throughout the process of re-location. With potential locations, bank accounts etc. Kash was always available to answer any of my questions and made the move to the UK very calm, relaxed and easy for me.
I would recommend working with Kash as he provides a human and personal approach to recruitment.
Kashif worked extremely hard in helping me secure a new position as a PHP Developer. From the very beginning he was approachable and informative, giving tips on the companies when interviewing. I highly recommended him for people looking for new roles. I would also very much like to work with him in the future if the opportunity comes up.
Kash has supported me in my job hunt in the UK. He helped me polish my CV as well as couched me through most common interview questions. I wouldn't have landed my current UK job without him.

I worked with Kashif Exclusively during my job hunt, I landed in the UK and wanted to secure a role that I was going to be happy with technically and socially.

Kashif managed my calendar and my time well and never failed to help on any questions I had. It's nice to work with a recruiter who knows the market well and had my best interests at heart. I would recommend working with Kash, and he will remain a contact in my phone of during my time in London.
I hired Kash in to the business 2 years ago and I can honestly say he has truly developed into an incredible consultant. His work ethic and attitude towards the PHP market is well respected by his clients and candidates, always going that extra mile. If you’re looking to speak to a recruiter who understands the PHP Dev market inside out, Kash is most definitely the guy to go too!

Kash contacted me first in 2015 and little have I expected that I have just been found by the best recruiter I had the pleasure to work with.
On several occasions did he astonish me with his knowledge of the market (real pleasure to work with someone who actually knows what all those IT terms mean),
excellent organization (never missed a call even if organized a couple of months earlier!) and amazing communication skills.
He knew exactly what I was looking for and never came to me with a position less than suitable.
He has a permanent spot in my contacts and is the first person I call whenever looking for new opportunities
I had the pleasure of working with Kashif in November 2015. Among all the great professional values that Kashif holds, I specifically love his passion, dedication and professional commitment towards his clients. Furthermore, I would like to praise his friendliness and sense of humour. He has been the easiest and most pleasant recruitment agent to have conversations with.
Kashif has been a fantastic recruiter and from my point of view he is an exception in his field. His work was efficient, solution oriented, detailed and honest.
Besides his professional character he is communicating on a very personal, honest and friendly level which makes a candidate feel like a human - not like a resource or a record in a database - with a genuine interest in his candidates needs, wishes and preferences. I personally appreciate his help and his effort to find the perfect matching job for me and it was a real pleasure for me to work with him. Job hunters who are lucky to be recruited by Kashif are in very good hands because he is very determined in his job, he keeps in touch with you on every single update and he makes time to personalise his recruitment.

I recommend him.
The best recruitment agent helping me find a role! He does a lot of research on companies, always has all the information ready, always knows what's been happening so far in case you forgot. Encourages a lot, and has a good sense of humor too.
I highly recommend Kashif Ali!
