From the outset he provided me with detailed information about both the role I was applying for and company I was applying to, and advised on additional research I should conduct myself in order to perform strongly at interview stage. The application process involved three interviews, and Mark ensured to call after each to both gather feedback from me but also provide any updates he had from the client. A refreshing change to some other consultants that I've dealt with who display poor communication skills and a pushy persona."

"I have been in contact with Mark for over a year now and from the very offset he has strived to find roles that suit me, rather than using a surely ineffective approach which i have seen with other recruiters whereby they contact me about roles not suitable in an attempt to find any old candidate for a position. He has clearly been successful with many previous candidates as he knew the process very well and was able to provide support at all stages of the recruitment process, even offering help with accommodation ideas and so on which is above and beyond his remit of a recruitment consultant. With the help of Mark i have landed the perfect role for me"
