Harvey at Timberseed was an absolute pleasure to work with! In the beginning of my job search at the start of the year, I decided to reach out to Harvey as I remembered how helpful he was when I was seeking work over a year ago. I gave him the run down on what exactly I was looking for, and he sent me several job specs to review that matched my requirements. I was then scheduled in for three interviews and ended up receiving an offer only three weeks after my job search began! Harvey facilitated the entire process smoothly, was extraordinarily responsive and helped me with any questions I had.

Quality professional experience . George Nellist listened to all my needs and picked roles that matched my needs and by using his extensive knowledge of the industry found companies that would be interested in me. He was very supportive and secured me four interviews within the space of about 2 weeks. I failed the first two but George didnt give up and went the extra mile to advice me on how better to tackle them. Using his advice I was able to be successful in both interviews one leading to an offer. I cant recommend George and Timberseed enough especially speaking from someone who had little

Can't recommend Timberseed enough, particularly Alex Morton! She helped me find the perfect job in under 3 weeks. Alex was very supportive throughout the process- always helping me to prepare for the interviews and keeping me updated. Thank you!

Couldn't sing Timberseed's praises enough: trying to navigate a professional job just after uni is hard, but Timberseed have helped me with every single step and made it really easy and exciting! They check in each day before and after interviews to see how you're feeling, and are very responsive and understanding. A special thanks goes to Anna Wilkinson for guiding me through the whole process with such kindness and dedication you've been amazing!
