Amanda was amazing from start to finish with my job search and then application process. She constantly was on hand to offer advice and provide updates, which then lead to me being offered and accepting a new exciting role. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone when searching for a new role.
Colin Powell
My experience with Amanda was absolutely brilliant from start to finish when switching my role/company. I found that she struck the perfect balance between keeping me informed about updates to the recruitment process and allowing me to take time to review the opportunity presented - taking her time to truly understand my situation and what I would be looking for in terms of a career change. Could not recommend more, a professional and really genuine person.
