“I was contacted by Toby in early December and he has been nothing but supportive, kind and helpful throughout the whole of my journey to the new job. He was always informative, honest and very patient. My questions and worries always were met with a perfect, well-grounded answer in every situation. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity that Toby has given me and the efforts he has expressed to ensure my success.”
Irina Koverga, Receptionist, Luxury 5 Star Hotel, London
“I was contacted by Jack through Indeed, luckily, as he found me at the point where all hope was lost. He then asked me a bit about myself and what I’ve done in the past and he was really good at talking to me, especially since I had been out of work for 3 to 4 months. He then found a place local to me that needed someone like me. He got me an interview and a trial shift and as if by magic they wanted me, thank you ever so much Jack it means a lot!”
Jake Jones, Commis Chef, Gastropub, Cotswolds
