Robert Gofton - CMgr MCMI

It has always been a pleasure to work with Ben. As a candidate looking for that next great opportunity it is essential to find someone who really understands your strengths and can help you find that next perfect career move. A good recruitment consultant clearly has the organisational requirements at their heart but as a candidate, I expect clear, concise and timely feedback and (where appropriate) support during the application process, for me these are essential. Ben has always delivered on these aspects and I think organisations get the best applicants / candidates as a result...saving everyone time and money!

I got to know Ben whilst making a significant career development decision and I'm really happy with the move I made! Throughout the recruitment experience, Ben was so lovely to work with, he was always approachable, recognised my strengths, skills, and experience, was encouraging, and was great at giving feedback during the whole process.
