Terrible agent. Placed me with a company who were going into administration. The company didn't pay my wages. Andrew was more interested in obtaining his commission fee than helping me

I cannot day enough good things about Hartley, Rebecca in particular. I have just secured a new job, despite the state of things due to COVID at the moment, which has enabled me to be able to move closer to my family. Rebecca went above and beyond giving me the support I needed to get through the interview and was friendly and positive the whole time! I would HIGHLY recommend using Hartley!! Thank you Rebecca :)

Rebecca contacted me after I had been applying on job boards about a role. I was coming to the end of my furlough scheme and facing unemployment with a baby on the way. She hit the nail on the head with the job role. At first they were not sure about even interviewing me but she fought my corner and persuaded them to hear me out for an interview.
12 weeks later I am in a job I am really enjoying and she is basically my hero!

I wanted to thank Rebecca for her guidance and support in helping me secure a role. I have dealt with a lot of agencies in my time, but none have I found to be as professional and dedicated to ensuring you get the job. Truly great service and would definitely recommend.
