What clients say

Real feedback from people we’ve worked with.

We were in a bit of a panic with a live job and a short runway. Izzy didn’t overpromise — she just came back with a shortlist that actually made sense. We interviewed three and offered to one the same week.

Project Director Main contractor

Isabel was honestly just easy to deal with. No chasing, no awkward “any update?” calls — she kept me in the loop, told me what the client was really thinking, and I didn’t feel like I was being sold to.

Candidate Permanent move

The best bit was how normal it felt. Quick chat, clear brief, then a couple of strong profiles with proper notes. It saved us loads of time compared to sifting through CVs that weren’t even close.

Commercial Manager Subcontractor

I’d stopped trusting recruiters, if I’m honest. Izzy was straight with me about salary and the culture, and when it wasn’t right she said so. That was a first.

Candidate Confidential search

We needed someone who could start quickly, not “in theory” quickly. Isabel checked availability properly and handled the admin without it turning into a nightmare. Start date landed exactly when we needed it.
