I was first contacted by Rachael C. via email regarding a position in the recruitment sector in Leeds. Since the start, Rachael has been very supportive, responsive and understanding of my circumstances, and has made my job search flexible and stress-free, always keeping me up-to-date on everything. She was always a call or email away! By far the best recruitment consultant I have come across; very kind and such a lovely person to talk to. Definitely a massive asset to the Lucy Walker Recruitment company! Thank you to Lucy Walker Recruitment and especially to Rachael!
