Melanie was very interested in me as a person and wanted to know about my career in detail. She had spent more than our allocated time, to understand my work history and what kind of career I was chasing. Melanie was a pleasure to deal with.

I met with Melanie via an online Teams meeting. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the prospect of looking for a job feel less daunting. No option of not applicable for hiring effectiveness but with wishful thinking and how highly she ticks all the boxes in others areas I’m hoping 5 star will prove true.

Melanie has been the first recruiter that has not put me in the 'too hard to place/classify basket. As a team member with an extensive and varied background, previous recruiters have said they don't know what box to place me in and have in some cases, made me feel that my skills and background are of no value. Not Melanie - she got it and got me. Thanks

Melanie will leave no stone unturned to find the right fit for the business. And it isn't just about the right set of technical skills either, it is about the right "whole person".
She brings her authentic self to the table creating a genuine connection and trust to the relationship that generates confidence in the service she provides. Her passion for people and knowledge around industry trends is evident after one conversation.
