​I worked with Suzanne in my recent job search and she was amazing! Suzanne always had me in mind when new roles came up, she checked in regularly to give me updates on the roles I had applied for, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend Vanrath and Suzanne if you're on the lookout for your next position.

Vanrath were brilliant helping me secure my next job. Big shout out to Dan who were just fantastic! Both really listened and understood my current situation, knew exactly what I wanted, and kept me up to date throughout the application and interview process. Absolute pleasure to deal with.
