This was the first time dealing with a recruitment agency and what a lovely experience it was. Sarah was wonderful from first contact to final stage. Kind, patient and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond even offering to help out with zoom in her free time. Thank you so much. I’m now looking forward to an exciting new venture which I’m not sure I’d have got with out her.
