Report
I found Ashville Knight and Annah-Mae incredibly helpful throughout my job search. She focused on service and really listened to what I wanted, asking me for honest interview feedback and was interested to know how the interviews went and whether I felt the job was also right for me. This is lost with some recruiters, other agencies in the past seem to just forget about their candidates or like to pressure you into a job just because it means they hit their targets. I received a service here that I would recommend to anyone and everyone and would use again in the future should I need to, though
