I would highly recommend Vanrath. Specifically Michael Irwin, who I found to be thoroughly helpful, informative and efficient from first point of contact. Within a week of sending my CV I had interviewed and received an offer for a new role. Michael provided support and guidance throughout the entirety of the process, from interview advice to follow up calls, ultimately helping me to make the decision.

Very pleased with the service provided and extremely appreciative to Michael, who I'd highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Vanrath. Dan Morgan was very friendly and approachable and was always available whenever I had any questions or concerns. As soon as I provided my CV, he made contact with me very quickly, and, throughout the application process, he was always very prompt in providing me with updates. He helped me with the interview process, giving me guidance on what I should discuss during the interview. He secured me a great position within two weeks.

I was leaving a permanent role to go into a contract role, which I was nervous about. Dan was very honest and reassuring, making me feel confident in accepting the role, as I trust that he would help me secure another role should the contract end.

Vanrath is a great recruitment company to work for. Emma who was dealing with my recruitment was very professional and lovely to talk to. She was able to source me a job quickly but also sourced me a job that was tailored to me, what I had experience in and what I enjoyed doing, which really helped. She was so helpful and kept in touch with me during my employment. Eve was also very helpful and responded to my queries quickly. I would happily recommend Vanrath to anyone and I would use their services again down the line if I needed to.
