National Sales Manager , Global Pharmaceutical CompanyKaren is an outstanding and professional Recruitment Consultant that personally secured my current position. Having worked with several agents in the past, none came close to the level of service and expertise that Karen provided. She always prepared we with the facts, followed up, I was never kept in the dark, my happiness was always central. She supported my decisions throughout the process. What most stood out for me, was Karen’s honesty and professionalism. Trust is a necessary component between an agent and their client in recruitment. It’s unfortunately not something I have experienced in the past with some other agents, but Karen always delivered upon this virtue. She talks the talk and walks the walk. For this reason, she will always be my first go to person that I will recommend to any colleague, organisation or friend.
