Recently just moved to Belfast and have been under quite a bit of pressure in order to obtain a job. Daniel at Vanrath has been excellent and managed to get me in touch with a couple of companies that suited my background and experience. I start a new post on Monday which I am very much looking forward to thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff at vanrath

I have found Van Rath and Damian in particular to be a pleasure to work with. Responsive, extremely knowledgable about the local market, personable and professional his advice has proved invaluable in helping make my move into contract work proceed smoothly.

Matthew Evers from Vanrath provided me with excellent advice was able to place me in new employment within 2 weeks of being furloughed by my former employer. I am very grateful to him for his professionalism and commitment. I highly recommend utilizing the recruitment services of both Matthew and Vanrath.

Very happy with my experience in dealing with Vanrath. Was given opportunites to pursue jobs that I am suited for coming out of university. Special thanks to Ross Stevenson for setting me up with a post, months after not being successful for a previous post. Really appreciated him continually helping me to get employment until I was able to do so.
