“A big thank you to Victoria for securing me a position with a professional, forward-thinking business. After spending over ten years with my previous company, I was approached by Victoria with great kindness and professionalism. Victoria understood my requirements and values and helped me identify what was most important in my next role. Throughout the many interviews with my new employer, Victoria was always on hand to offer support and advice. Having worked in recruitment many years I have to say Victoria is one of the best! Victoria, thank you for all of your help!”
Amy Jayne Elvestad Senior Consultant
“Vicky has just helped me secure a very exciting new role with a fast growth, ambitious early-stage recruitment business. Her initial approach was very professional and throughout the process she retained that professionalism. I wasn’t actively seeking a new role and Vicky knew this. Her approach throughout the process was very consultative and non-pushy nor sales focussed. She was always on hand to speak with at all hours of the day and very supportive and pro-active. In a very competitive, cutthroat rec to rec market Vicky stands head and shoulders above the others as she clearly has the long-term interests of her candidates and her clients as paramount. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to both recruitment businesses looking to hire and to recruitment professionals considering their career options. She’s a lovely person too!”
Nick Culley Director
“I was very impressed with Victoria and found her to be professional and knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend speaking to Victoria if you are looking for a move in recruitment.”
Craig Cordle Regional Manager

Thank you very much for everything Victoria.”

She took a lot of time to understand my situation and - in a very consultative and non-pressured way - offered me options that were EXACTLY what I was looking for.
