"Holly connects on a personal level and treats you with respect keeping you informed at all times, which is rare these days in recruitment. It takes a lot of time and effort to connect with clients, but this never came across and Holly makes you feel important to her. Holly is helpful and communication is excellent.

"The procedures in Central Government take time and to find good people to support specialist short term roles is not easy.
