I had the pleasure of dealing with Joanne Gordon at Vanrath throughout my recent job application process and couldn't have asked for a more professional and efficient service. As somebody who is moving back to N.I. after working in England for some time, Joanne made a potentially difficult interview process a very smooth and easy one for me. She was ever-present throughout, arranging many interviews and telephone calls to suit my availability, and always quick to provide updates and feedback. I would highly recommend Joanne and Vanrath to anyone needing the help of a recruitment consultancy.

I would recommend Vanrath if you are looking for a change in career. Dan did a great job of keeping me up to date with the latest potential roles in my chosen field. He was able to find a suitable role to suit my skillset, and kept me constantly informed of the latest developments. Excellent service.

Very quick and easy to talk with Matthew about roles that would suit me. After a brief chat he was able to send me over details on a role that was right for me.
