Don’t just take our word for it…

Amy is a first rate recruitment consultant - professional, experienced and friendly...I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Mark Speed - Joint Managing Director

Bonnie has recruited a range of research roles into EdComs over the past 18months, and also found the job for me here too! She has a good understanding of the type of person who would fit well into the team and I appreciate her professionalism, enthusiasm and she is a pleasure to work with.

Sharon Givans, Associate Director at EdComs

Alex is all of what you’d expect from a recruitment consultant, hardworking, friendly, approachable and has a positive approach. In addition to this and the main reason for the recommendation is that Alex is a great listener and more importantly puts into place what you require and want based on conversations that have been had.

Marie Greaves - Strategic Partnerships Project Manager at Survey Sampling International


Abaigeal is so personable and incredibly patient that I can only

imagine that anyone working with her would find her as much of

a godsend to work with as I did. There are no limits she will not go

to to get the job done and to have all her clients completely and

very happily satisfied!

Darren really displayed that “added value” by not simply

comparing CVs with advertised roles: instead he displays an

in-depth understanding of what the company with the vacant

position really desire and expect of prospective candidates

(including things that might not be easily captured on a CV

such as drive, attitude and interest in the sector and role); what

previous experiences motivated the candidate - in this example

me - in terms of challenges, work cultures/environment, learning

opportunities, what aspirations they have as a career path long-

term; and then honed the needs and wants of both parties to make

an ideal match.
