Dealt with Trisha and was amazing throughout. If you want a company that keeps you updated throughout the process this is certainly one to use. Thank you again for helping me out :)

I was looking for work with an immediate start in the East Midlands area and was called by Jordan Smith from Talk Staff Recruitment on the same day I applied online. He offered me temporary work within 2 days of our initial conversation and invited me to his offices in Belper to register with the company. The whole experience has been first class and Jordan has been available to speak to at all times by email and text. The company he found for me were friendly and I I have loved working for them whilst applying for full time positions. Many of my current co-workers have also worked through Jordan
