Really great agency! All the ladies are lovely and you really get a personal touch from them. I really felt supported throughout my move to South Wales which can be a really stressful time especially when looking for employment as well as moving house. Can’t recommend St Davids enough!

I have worked for St David’s since January of this year. My experience of this company has been extremely positive. Everyone who works there has been very kind, helpful and very professional. If I have had a problem they have very quickly sorted it out for me and have been very flexible

I applied to the agency and they found me work really quickly, and I stayed in that job for 20 months now. I'm just about to leave for a permanent position in the same company they signed me up for originally! They've been so helpful and responsive and very kind on the phone. A really nice agency to work for!

From day one they were first class. I got made redundant from a previous job and I was in a job within a week of applying with the agency and have since been made permanent in that role. Regular contact from Millie and Rhiannon made the whole process straightforward and smooth throughout, I can’t fault them at all. There is also a lot of care and… support shown by the team between regular check ins just to see how I was doing, and little things like sending a Christmas card from the team to myself! I can hand on heart say the team genuinely want to see you succeed and I wish them all
