Bio
Rebecca Watson
David is an exceptional and first class recruiter. He builds relationships and your trust quickly and acts with the upmost integrity and professionalism, I would highly recommend his services. He has a real passion and dedication to get the best candidates possible. Working with David is a real pleasure.
Natalie Pandé
David was extremely conscientious and enthusiastic in his role at MOL. I learned a lot from working with him and admired his determination in pursuing his career goals. The office is now too quiet without him!
Sarah Starkey
David was an excellent Manager, from interview stage to when I left LSBF. When I was interviewed by David I found him friendly, professional and informative and when I began my role as Student Advisor he provided me with in-depth training and guidance, which was extremely helpful as it made me feel fully prepared for my role. David was always supportive as a Manager particularly during the period when we thought as a team we may be at risk of redundancy, he kept morale high. His dedication to his role and to the company shows he has a high level of commitment and is a natural leader and a very hard worker.

Purosearch is an established, market leading, specialist recruiter within the Veterinary sector. Our mission is simply to provide our clients and candidates with the best recruitment experience they will have encountered. This is obviously quite a claim but with our management team having over 40 years of experience in recruitment and all of our consultants being specialists in their individual skill set, we feel we have the structure in place to have this happen. What does this mean to you? For our candidates, we work proactively to not just find them a job but to find them THE job. We will utilise our unparalleled network of contacts both nationally and globally to provide you with the biggest choice of the best opportunities available. For our clients we act as a strategic partner, ensuring we can source not just the candidate with the relevant skill-set but the candidate whose personality will contribute the most value to your organisation. We measure our success in the satisfaction of our customers. In an industry that is all too often tarred by mediocrity, Purosearch believes in excellence. "The Extra Mile" is not just a slogan we put under our title. It the principle that guides everything we do. We will go the extra mile to ensure our clients and candidates receive the best service they have received from any recruitment company... ever. We will go the extra mile for our clients to find that "needle in a haystack" candidate and we will go the extra mile to make sure our candidates get their dream job. This can only happen when an agency goes above and beyond what is expected from them. Purosearch is that company.
