A real level of honesty, forthrightness and transparency. The attention to and level of detail was really impressive.
I cannot recommend Michelle and her team highly enough. The level of time taken to understand the requirements of both Clients and Candidates is exceptional, and undoubtedly the best I have seen in their industry, based on my 20 years experience, and more than 10 years working with Michelle and Douglas Jackson. This is reflected in time taken, detail and passion and drive to get the best possible outcome. Coupled with a detailed interest in their chosen field makes them the easy choice and recommendation to work with.
