Client Feedback
“We were really struggling with some urgent vacancies and not really getting anywhere with the other agencies we were using which were big but not specialist. Claire has in depth knowledge of the financial services sector and was therefore able to grasp straight away the type of people we were looking for. She is very well connected with good quality candidates and never sends CVs through just for the sake of getting people across to us. The ratio of people we saw and offered jobs to was far greater than with other agencies and within a few weeks all our urgent vacancies had been filled. She now recruits across our entire business and our partnership has been extremely successful.”
