What our clients and candidates say

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. If you're looking for a recruiter who will work tirelessly on your behalf, Craig is the one to trust.

He has just helped me fulfil a particularly difficult position by thinking outside of the box and coming up with a candidate that we wouldn't have normally considered but Nick's determination to track down the right individual sets him apart from other recruiters! So thank-you for the brilliant job you have done on this recruitment & cannot recommend him more to anybody who is looking to recruit or looking to find a different…

Nick is highly professional and skilled at what he does. Used Nick various times for senior sales focused roles and he has consistently nailed it! He acts with pace, but always ensures quality isn’t compromised by pace. Communication with me is always spot on - regular updates with the perfect level of detail and not taking up time unnecessarily. Would highly recommend.
