Neill Ferguson was a fantastic help to me, I needed a change in lifestyle from my previous job and had looked around the job market struggling to find many opportunities which suited me. Neill was extremely professional throughout the process, getting to know me and what I was looking for immediately. I was sorted with a new job within 2 weeks! Would highly recommend Vanrath and Neill in particular to anyone.

I went through Vanrath for my current position. I met with Neill Ferguson who was fantastic to work with. He has an extensive knowledge of the current employment market, and he understood exactly what my level of experience was and what I was looking to achieve in my next role. I would definitely recommend Neill and will meet with him again for future roles
