I had the pleasure of working with Karl and couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. From our very first conversation Karl listened carefully to my career goals and concerns and took the time to understand what I was looking for in my next roll.
I would highly recommend Vanrath! I worked with Jack who couldn't have been more helpful, from our very first chat he laid out all the options and delivered on his promises. I was able to secure the right job for me and would have no hesitation in using Vanrath again in the future.
I recently dealt with Jack when I was looking for a new role. His wealth of knowledge of industry in Belfast was apparent and he kept me up-to date with any suitable opportunities and then throughout the recruitment process. I really appreciated his straight forward and honest advice. He was always more than happy to chat through any concerns I had about the various roles.
