Craig and I worked together for several years to help find software engineer and project management talent for a biotech company that I worked for. I really enjoyed working with Craig and the team at Affecto. I have been known to be quite cynical about the motivation of some agencies and have had some disappointing experiences in the past but I totally trusted Craig. We had a good rapport and I knew we could just jump on a call and would resolve any issues and that he would totally understand what we needed. I enjoyed all of our interactions, he was fun to speak to and we could be frank with each other, I appreciated his great balance of knowledge, professionalism, humour and transparency. It was an excellent partnership which worked well for our business.

Craig has been fantastic since the moment I joined Hamlin Knight, welcoming me to the team but also really developing me further as a consultant. He is a real asset to the business who really cares for his team, and leads from the front when recruiting for the Northern Hub of Hamlin Knight.
