Joe Synes from Hunter Dunning is definitely your big picture, detailed oriented, go-to guy for seeking new employment. Through his energetic efforts I secured a position with one of Britains largest planning firms. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Joe as an architectural, planning, and design recruitment specialist who goes the extra mile for his clients.

Joe Synes from Hunter Dunning is an excellent recruiter, very helpful and efficient. He contacted me through LinkedIn to inform me on a role that matched my experience, in a London practice. He made a remarkable effort to arrange an interview very quickly and a day later I had a job offer! I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone who is looking for a new job in architecture

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Hunter Dunning (Jayde in Particular) in 2015. I was extremely impressed with the effort she put in to finding my current position. Jayde worked very hard for me, was a delight to deal with and her communication was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for her. Jayde has also kept in touch regularly, since I started my new position (a year down the line), to see how things are going, which is a nice touch! HD will certainly be my first point of contact in the future and I have no qualms in recommending them to anyone I know, in fact I have just put them
