I have recently been offered my first choice job through Vanilla Recruitment. Kate was fantastic through the whole process, not just as a contact between the employer and myself, but she also provided excellent advice and help in preparation for the interviews. At all times she had genuine interest in my employment needs and requirements. Thank you once again

We have recruited via Vanilla for both temporary and permanent positions for many years now. Their service is very quick and we have always received great candidates to consider for each role we put to them. We have had a good outcome each time we have used their services and so would highly recommend.
