Chris Lewis at RMG found me on LinkedIn after I changed my profile to reflect I was open to work. I had recently been made redundant and Chris made it his mission to find me a job. He put me forward for several opportunities, stayed in contact regularly and kept me in the loop. I am fortunate to have been successful in the first role I applied for and as it was a role I was particularly interested in, I chose not to continue with the other opportunities. Chris continued to act as a point of contact throughout the administrative side, helping with salary negotiation and contract signing. Chris has

I recently worked with Nina Richards who helped me secure my dream job role. I have very little experience in the interview process but Nina was always available to answer any questions and she kept me well informed. She went above and beyond my expectations, following up with me before and after every interview stage and making sure I knew everything I needed to know for the next stage. Nina was very attentive, professional, communicative and her support was second to none. I cant recommend Nina and RMG enough; they are an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end!

I recently worked with both Georgia and Nina to secure a new role as a project manager in Manchester. I found them both to be really professional throughout the whole process. They regularly kept me up to date on the recruitment process and timings; phoned me to ask how each stage of the interview process went and knew the company really well. Fantastic job in supporting me to get a new role - well done!

Nina at RMG has been absolutely fantastic throughout the application process, phoning before and after each of the interview stages and a pleasure to speak to each time - even calling after working hours to inform me I'd got the job. From a candidate perspective I can highly recommend RMG.
