Spoke with Jake Croft who managed to get me settled into a managed IT service provider and sorted out the interviews quickly and efficiently after our first phone call. I was a bit standoff at first with recruiters due to my past experience with them but Jake took away that anxiety with his friendly, likeable approach. He gave me constant feedback, updates and even when I started the workplace he gave me a call to see how I was getting on and would always check up weeks after starting the company which was great. Couldn't recommend Jake enough, he went above and beyond in every aspects and is easily

Outstanding experience with eSift! Jake contacted me regarding a role which is now my full time job and he was a pleasure to work/ communicate with. He always updated me on his contact with the company I was interviewing with, he genuinely seems to care about placing the right people in the right roles. Even called me once my employment had started to check it was all going well...cannot fault Jake, what an asset he is to eSift. Thank you for the continuous contact, efficiency and professionalism at all times.
