Report
From my initial consultation with Rosa Dos Santos, I realised how much more different she is to other recruitment consultants I have spoken with. She was properly engaged throughout our conversation and really took the time to understand what I was seeking in employment opportunities, and took the time to really "drill down" and get a lot of detail about me so as to find the right job fit - something that hasn't happened previously with some recruitment agencies and their respective consultants. She's provided superb advice and support throughout my job search - i'd highly recommend her to any

From the first time I spoke to Rosa she made me feel really relaxed. I felt like I had known her for years. She was always very professional and flexible to my needs for interviews with herself as well as the client. I would highly recommend anyone to contact her when looking for a new work opportunity. Thanks Rosa, I think you are really a fantastic employment agent.

I have a very positive response to my interactions with Exact Sourcing. Too many recruiters make promises about their service which turn out to be false but Exact Sourcing delivered on their promises. For example, if Rosa or one of her team promised to ring you back, they would actually do so.
Rosa and Jason went the extra mile in making sure I was well prepared and confident about the interview process. Our discussions were always conducted professionally and with a sense of purpose. Exact Sourcing quickly placed me in what I hope will turn out be congenial employment but even had they been

I cannot recommend Exact Sourcing and Rosa enough! A very dedicated team with a very personal approach. They look for the variety of qualities and skills in you ( even those you never thought you have, ha ha! ) and would find a company where you would fit 100%. My experience with Rosa and the team was always wonderful, every time you speak to any of them it feels like you are talking to a friend who you have known forever. Rosa, your business is very special and you always give people a chance to not only be employed but to be successful and flourish in their new role. If only more people were
