Testimonials

​Here's what some clients and candidates have had to say

Add the discipline tag to the testimonial to display it here

  • ​​​Chloe Thomas is a great recruiter. She was calm and methodological in her approach, always giving timely feedback as to any developing events. I was always very aware of the state of play, never being left to guess. Chloe's disposition is one of calmness and professionalism, even in the face of my annoying questions and constant pushbacks. I felt this transparent approach was extremely valuable for me.

    Michael Estebanez

  • ​My recruiter Ryan Harris was incredibly helpful all the way through the job searching process. He made sure to keep tabs on me to see how I was doing and give me regular updates, as well as chasing up companies to get responses ASAP so as to not leave me in the dark. Great assistance all around.

    Candidate, Contract

  • "I recently worked with Steve on an assignment to a Public Sector organisation and found him very hard working and supportive, from acquiring the assignment in the first place, working through the confusion of new IR35 contract issues, as well as ongoing housekeeping and support throughout the contract life span.
