Selena has helped me get into numerous roles over the years and really develop my career progression in doing so - always extremely helpful with such a breadth of knowledge in what she’s doing - on several occasions guiding me toward great opportunities I would never have realised I was so suited for. Wonderfully friendly and professional at once, she’s always taken the time to truly understand my needs and strengths whilst keeping me completely updated through the process. Whenever I have approached her, every time I’ve had every confidence there will be something new and often surprising just around the corner. I’ve really enjoyed every time she’s worked with me both in getting me into roles and hiring for my own team, never fails to get you where you need to go and I will certainly be working with her again in future!
