I applied for a new job through Vanrath and was been helped by Conor who was hiring for the role. He kept me up to date during the process and was very helpful. When he rang to let me know I had been successful in the interview, he sounded genuinely happy for me. I've had a great experience so far and I'm thankful to Conor for helping me obtain my new job! I had a fantastic experience working with Conor Birch. He were professional, attentive, and truly invested in finding the right job for me. From the start, he took the time to understand my skills and career goals, providing valuable advice and keeping me informed throughout the process. His communication was excellent, and guided me through each step, offering interview tips and feedback. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I landed a role that perfectly aligns with my aspirations. An excellent service from Ross Stevenson at Vanrath. Ross has been very helpful and supportive from the start which is just over 3 weeks ago. I am due to start a contract Project Manager role next week. I readily recommend Vanrath's recruitment service and Ross in particular. Chris Haddock from Vanrath, recently secured an opportunity for me within a large public sector organisation. He was extremely professional, well informed of the industry, was on hand to answer any queries, and smooth the transition from one employer and the next.
