Harvey John cannot be recommended enough.
From identifying the best opportunities that align with my experience, including several temporary and interim roles, to staying in touch for ongoing support and guidance, they’ve been incredibly helpful. The interviewer was well-informed about my skills and how they could benefit the role, which meant we got straight to the point without drawn-out, repetitive conversations. They knew exactly what both I and the business needed, leading to a positive contract. The online platform for contractors to manage payslips and finances is also great, and Georgina has always been proactive whenever I have had any questions.
