Client - Marmax - During the time I have worked with Laura I have found her to be a dedicated consultant with a real passion for delivering high levels of customer service. Laura has a genuine passion for her work and goes over and above in her role to ensure that she matches the right skilled candidate to the job. We have recruited sales personnel and recently a Marketing Executive. I would highly recommend Laura to any organisation looking at outsourcing their recruitment. Client - Edward Thompson and Tombola - “I have worked with Laura on a number of assignments with both Edward Thompson (Printers) Limited and Tombola. When I first met Laura I found her to be extremely personable and quickly built up a natural working rapport with her. She has high standards and I always felt that she gave her utmost to deliver on the assignments she worked on for me. What I like best about Laura is her integrity – she will always give you the truth of the situation even if that means that there is no short term benefit to her. Very rare in recruitment. Laura is a true professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Client - HLA Services - Laura and the team from KWA recently assisted us in the recruitment of a technical sales engineer. We had struggled to find anyone suitable through our own resources and even other agencies had struggled however Laura and her team provided the right candidate for our needs.
