I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Clarissa at Macildowie who contacted me to discuss what I believe is my dream job role. Throughout the whole interview process I never felt like a number and Clarissa was with me every step of the way, always helping and supporting me and having everyones best interest at heart. I think Clarissa is one of a kind in the recruitment industry and would be happy to recommend her and Macildowie to anyone seeking employment.

I worked with Greg during my recent job search and was very happy with the process from start to finish. The work he put in to understand what I was looking for in and what the clients on the other side were looking for meant that the roles he called about were very good fits. Very impressed by the level of support and quality of advice throughout. Thanks Greg!
