I contacted Vanrath after being laid off by my previous employer and had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Burns. Jordan was fantastic to deal with. He found me the perfect role that matched my skill set and experience and within a day or two had an interview lined up. Within the same week I was made a job offer which I happily accepted. So thankful that I contacted Vanrath and got speaking with Jordan. Couldn't have asked for a quicker and more professional service.

From sending my CV to being placed in the role Chanel was great. At every stage I was well informed on every aspect of the application process. Very friendly and professional service. Would use Vanrath again with no issues

I recently worked with Chanel Gillen to fill a vacancy in my finance department. Chanel was a joy to work with and we filled our vacancy within a week. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Chanel and Van Rath for your finance recruitment needs.
