keith metcalfeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dealt with Rachel at the Nottingham branch for a role in Derby. She listened to my background and explained how she felt i was a good fit for the role. She kept me informed of interview dates, followed up after the interview and the very next day put an offer for the company to me that was very acceptable. Apart from one other recruiter i have dealt with in person, who was hampered by the hiring manager at the company he was handling a role for being booked on sick and no return date has been given, This is the most helpful i have found any recruiter Karan SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adam was absolutely amazing in helping me introducing and finding a role that was suitable for me. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to get placed in finance. Dan CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very professional, engaged and friendly team that I would highly recommend connecting with. gurmukh singhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. in my 25 year working career, Adam is by far the most supportive, engaging and professional recruiter i have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. what sets Adam aside from other recruiters is he is not just there to fill a seat and earn commission, he actually takes the time to understand what it is your looking for and it may not happen overnight but when the right job comes along which he believes to be a right fit he reaches out and puts your best foot forward. prior to interviews Adam also checks in giving you vital insight making sure your best prepared. His calm cool nature is just what is needed before that interview as he reaffirms the belief in your abilities and it gives you the confidence knowing the position is a right fit with everything you want. Top recruiter highly recommended, a position may not be available now but he will certainly keep your skill set in mind for when something comes up, well worth speak to.

From the start, he really took the time to understand what I was looking for and what was important to me in my next role.

He was supportive, approachable, and kept me updated throughout the whole process, which made everything feel much less stressful.

Danielle was superb throughout my job search and I thoroughly recommend her. She was in touch most weeks keeping me updated on the roles and wishing me luck with interviews, even ones not arranged by her. She was also full of advice and encouragement. In the end I was placed by another agency but it was not for the want of trying on Danielle's behalf.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 365 reviews
