Sheryl Godwin-Jones
Context make life in recruitment a breeze! I personally have had the pleasure of working with the team (long standing partners of ANS), for the last 4 months and long may that continue. Context have placed some top standard candidates in some of our top technical teams, always working to make the process smooth from end to end with regular updates, comms and confidence that full effort is being pushed in to filling the roles we work on together. I would 100% recommend Context as a recruitment partner.

My experience working with Context on a recent hire has proven to me the real benefit in finding the right recruitment partner. Jon and the team had the knowledge and experience to understand what we were looking for in a SOC Lead role, playing back to us an excellent summary advert for the role. All the candidates put forward were strong with good variety in background and experience, which ultimately helped us converge on what we were really looking for. Most importantly Jon and the team put focus on a positive candidate experience. They represented the company well, attracting and supporting talent through the process in the right way, which is really important to me as a hiring manager.
