Steph has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She helped me find a new role really quickly and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out to me was how well she listened, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in my next career move and didn’t waste time with roles that didn’t match. Everything she sent over was relevant, which made things so much easier. She’s friendly, fast, and clearly knows her stuff. You can tell she’s at the top of her game, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for their next opportunity. Thanks again, Steph!

Steph was nothing but exceptional with helping me find my new job. I lost my job unexpectedly and Steph had me lined up for an interview within days. Steph kept me informed throughout the recruitment process giving me reassurance that I wasn’t going to be out of employment for long. Steph is clearly skilled at her job and for that I am forever grateful
