I had the pleasure of working with Leanne from VANRATH, and I couldn't be more grateful for her assistance in securing my new job role. Leanne was extremely helpful and she provided me with valuable support, always communicating and keeping me informed throughout the whole process and she was always available to answer any queries I had.
What can I say about Chanel Gillen, friendly, funny, highly professional and successfully got me the specific role in the specific company I asked for. Stayed in constant communication throughout the whole process and amazingly helpful with preparation for interviews. Easily the best recruitment consultant I have worked with and would highly recommend to others looking to change their employment.
Jamie at Vanrath is absolutely superb. Extremely patient, thorough, helpful and conscientious about his work. Above and beyond and a pleasure at all times. Much appreciated and highly highly recommended.
