Testimonials
I found Sydney to be friendly, personable and professional at all times. She goes above and beyond the remit of her duties by working till later just to provide me with an update despite going on leave the next day.
I find Sydney very helpful, I'm always kept informed of the next step in terms of interviews being booked or any updates on further roles. I found her pleasant to work with, she always returned my calls, I would want her as my consultant for future roles.
