I could not recommend Jennifer more highly.

Firstly, she is incredibly knowledgeable about the roles she brings to her candidates. You can tell she doesn’t blanket her whole network for each position, but rather seeks out individuals she knows would be truly interested in and qualified for the job. She also provides personalised and insightful advice for each interview in the process that I can personally say was incredibly helpful. And, perhaps mostly importantly, she is a great communicator. She never left me guessing where I was with a position – she provided regular updates even if just to say, ‘no update yet, but I expect to hear more by x date’. This very much helped alleviate the anxiety associated with long interview processes.

Second, she is a FANTASTIC person. Interviewing can be a stressful process and she was there every step of the way to provide whatever support I needed, including running practice questions for upcoming interviews or just to chat about anything I may be concerned about. I’ve never had a more pleasant relationship with a recruiter – I could tell she was genuinely happy for me when the offer came through.

In short, Jennifer set the bar for what a recruitment consultant should be and I would be hesitant to work with anyone else if I were searching for another position

I can recommend Jennifer to the highest degree possible.

I have known Jennifer for approximately 2 years and in that time I have worked with her on two occasions in the search for my next role.

I can recommend Jennifer to the highest degree possible.

She shows great empathy and makes a real effort to get to know her candidate. This enables her to identify roles that best suit the candidate’s skills and experience. Jennifer is indefatigable in finding the right role for the candidate. In my experience, Jennifer stands head and shoulders above other recruiters for her communication and responsiveness. She always kept me in the picture, even if there was no news to report.

Finding a new role can be a challenging experience. However, working with Jennifer does a great deal to ameliorate this. Jennifer is a wonderful provider of sound advice and there is something deeply reassuring about working with her. In the time that I have known Jennifer, I have come to trust her implicitly.

For these reasons, I am able to recommend Jennifer to potential candidates without any reservation at all. She is simply one of the best recruiters I have worked with.
