I have had such a positive experience with Suzanne Lowry, the recruitment specialist, and cannot thank her enough for her dedicated help, speed of responses, and kindness. A credit to the company, whose people skills are remarkable. Thank you so much! I couldn't recommend Ciaran Gallagher from VANRATH highly enough. He was fantastic from start to finish. Ciaran went above and beyond to support me throughout my whole process. I applied for my job through Vanrath. I dealt with Leanne who was so helpful from start to finish. Anytime I rang she talked me through what I needed to do and is still available for support if I need her. Excellent service and excellent customer support. I would highly recommend I had a great experience with VANRATH. Jack was excellent throughout, always keeping my best interests and future career in mind. Highly recommend!
