I had the pleasure of working with Craig during my job search and I can't recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Craig was incredibly professional, assertive, and supported me through every step of landing the role. He was often on hand for questions and always provided clear communication between myself and my now employer. Thanks to his efforts, I am now in a position I’m truly excited about.
