With over two years of recruitment experience, Sam manages hiring for main dealers, independent garages, fast-fit centres, and accident repair centres. His desk covers a broad spectrum of roles, from service managers and sales executives to vehicle technician jobs and MOT testers.

Before joining Perfect Placement in February 2024, Sam worked as a Customer Consultant for a main Toyota dealership, completing specific manufacturer training in customer retention and aftersales processes. This direct industry experience allows him to accurately assess candidate fit by understanding the daily operational demands of a busy workshop or showroom.

"Sam was absolutely spot on. From the first call about the role to securing an interview and job offer within the week, the whole process was quick and professional. I couldn’t recommend him enough."
