Bio
Vanessa McLennan
Jemma recruited me into the sales trainer position at Randstad. Throughout the process, she was very understanding, considerate of any concerns and wishes I had and handled the whole process in a very professional manner. Jemma was very clear in explaining the role and company to me and feedback was prompt and in detail. Jemma built a good relationship with me and continued to do so and I think that is evidence of the excellent recruiter she is.

Jemma initially interviewed me for my first recruitment role at Hill McGlynn. I found her to be very welcoming and knew inside out what the role would intake. She made me want to work for the company and once I had started she always kept in contact and helped me with anything work related that she could. I would definately recommend her to anyone looking to join Hill McGlynn/Randstad
