After working abroad for several years, I returned to Northern Ireland and contacted Vanrath regarding short term contract finance roles. My point of contact was Damian Della Croce. After an initial discussion on experience, expectations and possible roles, Damian promptly found me a suitable contract in an efficient manner. Very satisfied with the professional service.

Really impressed with the team at Van Rath. They're a very professional outfit. For Interim Finance roles, Damian Dellacroce is the guy you want in your corner. Really like his passion, commitment and high energy. Has always given me great advice and he has set up some great opportunities for me over the years. I now consider him as more of a long term business partner rather than a recruitment consultant. 100% Recommended.

Couldn't recommend vanrath enough. I was dealing with Robert, who made everything very stress free and move easily, couldn't recommend Robert and vanrath enough.

Many thanks to Vanrath for all their help securing my new job role. Especially to Robbie Lemon who is a credit to the company. Within a couple of hours of submitting my CV - Robbie called for a chat to discuss my options. The whole process was stress free with Robbie handling all of the details. From the first initial phone call to arranging an interview and accepting the job offer Robbie was prompt and professional. Even after office hours Robbie was available to answer my questions and put me at ease over any doubts I had. I cannot recommend Vanrath and their services enough and will definitely be returning should I require them. Thank you Robbie!
