Testimonials

Testimonials

Fantastic from the very outset!! Moving from a national practice in the north to a silver circle firm in the city Jennifer was able to guide me through the process. Stand out qualities were being proactive, never having to chase, and always on the ball, hearing about new roles and opportunities before anyone other recruiter in the city. Could not recommend Jennifer enough.

It was a pleasure to work with Leena on a couple of assignments for our retail group. I received highly professional and friendly service throughout. Leena was quick to understand the requirements if the role and more importantly, the cultural fit needed. She was always quick to respond, very efficient and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.
