Dan Morgan

"I've tried and tested many recruiters from agencies but I've always stayed with VANRATH and the main reason is Dan Morgan. There is nothing worse than a recruiter not listening to what you want from a new job, or not calling you back when they say they will. I can honestly say that Dan is the exception to this. Dan will go above and beyond to find you the job you want, not just the job that gets him commission. He keeps it real and is always reliable and professional." - Senior Contract Accountant

Emma Jayne Bowen

She has been nothing short of professional, friendly and it is clear to see that she has the candidates wants/needs at the core of finding the most suitable role and the encouragement given through every step of the process was incredible. I am now in a role that is well suited and couldn't be happier, all thanks to Emma Jayne. I would highly recommend, EJ really does go above and beyond for candidates!" - Accountancy Practice Candidate

Kevin Roberts

"A huge thank you to Kevin for all his help throughout the process. From the beginning, he kept me updated, answered any questions quickly and made the whole experience really easy to navigate. I remember reading a review from someone saying they got a job on the first try and I thought, "that's going to be me." Turns out, it actually was! I'm really grateful for all the support and guidance along the way. If you're looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares and keeps everything smooth and straightforward, I'd definitely recommend Kevin." - Finance Assistant

The process honestly felt really smooth and easy, and I feel this is a testament to how Ciaran works." - Legal Candidate
