Bio
Evan Francis
I was looking for a new position that would involve progression, a career and new challenges and at the time was not having luck with such opportunities until Emily got in touch about a new job and client following on from what I wanted from an employer. I was reluctant to use recruiters, following poor experience with previous recruiters and Emily was soon the complete opposite and put my faith back into the recruitment industry. Emily was supportive, attentive and understanding; skyping at 7:30pm to go through interview techniques and even phoning after my interview. A workplace Mum. A human being rather than a sales person which was really useful, even asking for feedback the week I started which made me completely change my perceptions about recruiters. From my experience with Emily, she clearly puts her clients first and understands that finding the right job and candidate is what it boils down to which is why I would recommend her to anyone looking for new opportunities or if I ever was in a position of needing new opportunities.
