Don’t just take our word for it…

Don’t just take our word for it…

In my 25 years + of being a candidate and a senior manager recruiting I've never felt the need to write a recommendation for a recruitment consultant before but I was blown away with Chloe's professionalism.

Chloe really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for in a role and was able to match me with a wonderful position which not only ticked all the boxes I was looking for from an experience/skills fit, but made sure the organisation and I were a cultural fit. She was in regular contact with me even if only to say she was still awaiting an update from the organisation, going the extra mile all the way.

Chloe is a breath of fresh air in understanding the needs of the clients remit and that of the candidates, I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week - Let's Talk

When I started in recruitment in the 90s in West London, twelve-hour days were the norm–followed by going out and getting drunk. It was a laddish culture where we burned the candle at both ends, and the concept of a “Mental Health Awareness Week” would probably have been met with ridicule.
