"Richard McFarland helped place me in my current role. Throughout the whole process Richard was exceptional. Before every interview Richard would contact to make sure I was prepared and gave me as much assistance as he could. He always endeavoured to get feedback from the clients the same week so I was able to know where I stood in regards to the process. Even after I was placed, Richard kept in contact to make sure it was still what I was after. I can't thank Richard enough, he was brilliant from start to finish. Hope to work alongside him in my new role. Thank you Richard!"
