Testimonials

I first spoke to Carl about a role which was not suitable for me as my experience and skills were above the role discussed.
An hour later I received another call from him mentioning a company where there might be some restructuring happening however no definite role was advertised yet.
I have been in the past been contacted by several recruiters who all were keen to send my CV to companies where there might be a position on the horizon however most of the time you never hear back from those recruiters.

My experience with Carl was very different as a couple of hours after agreeing to send my CV over, he called again with the update that the employer would love to speak to me on teams.

Everything was organised really well, Carl briefed me on the skills the potential employer would be looking for and what he thought would be important to bring across during the first interview.
After a successful initial chat with them the next stage was organised for a Friday morning and I received the following Monday an offer which I accepted.

The whole process from start to finish was very well done, communication was constant and I was never left wondering where I was in the interview stages.

I would definitely recommend Carl for any recruitment needs and will be using him for any roles I am looking for working as operations director for the new employer.
