Bio
Kathryn Rider
Sarah-Jane placed me into my first role following ACA qualification. She helped me identify the organisation, within my chosen industry, which was the right fit in terms of size, culture and career goals. She provided me with valuable interview advice and feedback, and takes a continued interest in my new role. Sarah-Jane is really personable and I would highly recommend her to anyone in finance looking to recruit or move roles.
Fiona Phillips
Sarah-Jane was the recruiter I used to find me my first role after moving out of practice on qualification. She always listened carefully to what I wanted from a role, and advised me fairly where applicable. Sarah-Jane was very focused on ensuring that I was prepared for my interviews and provided good guidance in advance and post interview, including feedback. I would strongly recommend Sarah-Jane if you are considering leaving practice, as she will ensure that the role that you apply for suits you, and you are prepared for the interview.
