Vanrath is a great recruitment company to work for. Emma who was dealing with my recruitment was very professional and lovely to talk to. She was able to source me a job quickly but also sourced me a job that was tailored to me, what I had experience in and what I enjoyed doing, which really helped. She was so helpful and kept in touch with me during my employment. Eve was also very helpful and responded to my queries quickly.

5*'s for Vanrath with a special mention for Ross Stevenson. Ross found me a suitable agency post right away, it was a great fit, now I have got the job permanently! Very personable and knowledgeable to deal with and always took the time to understand and help out. Extremely professional service all round.

The level of service offered by VANRATH has been excellent. They have not simply facilitated a change of job but have considered my longer-term career objectives from the outset.

VANRATH have also engaged employers in speculative conversations where a role may not already exist rather than simply trying to fit my CV to known vacancies.
