”I have worked with Nick both in my role at King's and Tommy's. His warm and professional approach makes Nick a stand-out recruitment consultant who takes a genuine interest in matching the right candidates, with the right roles. He makes the process so much more easy and rewarding with his extensive knowledge of the charity sector and his wide network of contacts. I would highly recommend working with Nick, he has found me some of the most talented fundraising stars I've ever worked with!

”I wish all recruitment consultants were like Jen. She takes the time to speak to, support, steer and cheer her candidates. She gave me clear advice, texting support before and after an interview, which gave me the confidence boost I needed. She is a true gem and I would not hesitate to recommend Jen to anyone else, and would happily work with Jen again in the future. I really wish all recruitment consultant were like her, she was a dream to work with.

Amelia’s support throughout the whole process was fantastic! We had so many amazing candidates to interview. I look forward to working with Amelia again in the future.

”Priya was amazing in helping me get my new job at RABI. Her support was a big part of my gaining the confidence to apply in the first place, after being in the same role for 17 years. Priya's communication is on point and nothing is too much trouble. Every time I messaged or called her she would respond straight away or at the earliest time that she could. She is reassuring and most of all shares your excitement and joy at every achievement along the way. Never underestimate the work you do Priya. If it hadn't been for your initial contact and ongoing communication and support I don't know if I would have had the confidence to take that first step.
