What candidates and clients are saying
-
Working with Chris to secure my next role was a very positive and seamless experience. He was very professional, organised, proactive, and communicated clearly before and after every stage of the process. I would highly recommend his services and gladly work with him again in future.
Jay Desai, Assistant Director at Alvarez & Marsal -
Chris is a charismatic, supportive and gifted Consultant who I had the pleasure of working with over a three month period. What really impressed me the most was how much time Chris takes to understand the background, skills, personality, wants and goals of his clients before even discussing potential opportunities. Due to this, I was able to speak solely to companies that share the same goals and values as myself which ultimately resulted in finding the perfect next step in my career very quickly once the interview process began. The overall process was friendly, clear and concise while support extended above and beyond what I expected. I therefore highly recommend Chris!
