    ​My experience working with Tas was outstanding. From our very first call, she was intentional and proactive in her approach, taking the time to truly understand what I was looking for. She listened carefully and suggested live roles that aligned perfectly with my criteria. Before my interview, Tas went above and beyond, answering all my questions, offering valuable insights, and thoroughly guiding me through the interview process. Her extra effort made me feel fully supported and prepared. Right up until I secured my role, Tas remained approachable, encouraging, and always available for a chat or advice. Her professionalism and genuine support made the entire process smooth and positive. ​

    ​Chris has been really great in helping me find a new role. He is one of a few recruiters in the market that have previously worked in Tax themselves and therefore his knowledge of the market combined with his insight into the world of tax has helped him provide me a number of potential opportunities for the next step in my career. Additionally, he is always on hand to talk through any questions/concerns and is very prompt in responding and providing feedback throughout the entire process. Have really enjoyed working with Chris and would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a new opportunity
