An absolute pleasure working with Shelley. She is a highly professional individual, a pleasant person to speak with and available to have a chat with you, even past office hours, which many recruiters don't. I would recommend TRP recruitment and specifically Shelley, to anyone i know looking for work.

Great service, really professional. I particularly liked that Shelley and Nav both picked up the phone when so many recruiters don't. They made me feel like they were on a mission to get me a job and they did! Thanks so much.

Didn't have a good experience at all and will not be contacting this recruitment company again. I found Val to be very rude, judgemental and unprofessional.
