Cameron was great during the recruitment process. I've had issues in the past with recruiters not really listening to what I'm looking for and just trying to place me into roles that they are clearly desperate to place people into. Cameron has found me exactly what I was looking for here so I'm very pleased with the experience overall and would recommend anyone.

Business Development Manager

Thanks Harvey for the detail information about the company & walking me through the entire process flawlessly.

DevOps Engineer

Each conversation I've had with Harvey has been friendly and professional.

He has listened to what I need from a job role and has worked hard to try and find me a position.

NOC Engineer

It was really nice to deal with Kate.

Looking for a new role is tough, so having someone who is knowledgeable and pleasant is a real win.

Software Engineer

I loved working with Tim.

His enthusiasm is contagious and he is very good at what he does. His professionalism, friendliness and the way he conducts himself and his business are exemplary.

Account Manager

I've had amazing support from Tilly before and after the interview and when I finally secured the job and there was an admin delay in presenting me the contract / offer letter. Tilly went beyond and above to ensure the contract/offer letter was sent out to me asap which eventually arrived. What. A. Jewel she is.

Automation QA Engineer

My recruitment expeirence with Jay was totally right.

He was kind and professional, he explained to me all of the details of the job on offer and he always replied my questions.

I would definitely recommend working with Jay.

Experienced PHP Developer

Harvey was very clear on the specific details of team set up and the job requirements. He thoroughly questioned my relevant exeperience, work history etc.

He's been extremely thorough and excellent in communicating with me during the recruitment process.

Helpdesk Engineer

George helped me really to secure a fantastic job role and elevate my career. It was my first time working with an agency and I was cautious, however, George was great at supporting me, checking up on me and understanding my situation. He is a great communicator and I can not recommend George and the agency enough.

Data and Systems Analyst

It was a pleasure working with George. He understood my requirements and provided me with a great opportunity. What makes him different is, even after the completion of recruitment process, he checked in on my first day of work, if everything was OK and as we discussed at the start of the recruitment process.

I will definitely recommend him if someone is looking for a new opportunity.

Data Engineer

Tilly is a gem of an employee. Very knowledgeable on the technical side of software engineering and the recruitment process. A top top person.

Software Development Manager

It's been great working with Cameron, he was very informative & very clear on the responsibilities and opportunity within the role. I am looking forward to continuing conversations with Cameron in the future.
