Really lovely team. I temped for nearly 2 years and every week they would call to check on me and see how I was getting on. So helpful and friendly. I've been to other, bigger agencies before and Red Door are the first who actually show they care and genuinely keep in touch without being persistent.

My experience with Red Door was fantastic! Not only did the team help me to secure a temporary job for the summer, they contacted me throughout my job providing me with support and help. A special thanks to Heather and Anna for their guidance and professionalism throughout the process!

Red Door helped me to secure a job offer that I am extremely happy with, and ensured that the whole process was efficient and stress free. Jo Baker was great in making sure that I had everything I needed along the way and was there to answer my queries instantly. Couldn't recommend them enough!
