I've been working with Matt at Rhubarb for 6 months now. Having helped on several recruitment drives we've had in a retail/hospitality set up he's been the leading agency and recruiter. Matt has supported us on a wide range of roles at great speed and accuracy, he's now become our "go to" recruiter. Very happy with the service and value.
