Candidate Recommendation – Gillian Pate

Gillian is a real pleasure to work with, she takes the time to listen to who you are as a person and aims to match you with the right role and organisation for you. Her goal is not just to shoe horn you into any position, she gets to know you and builds a lasting relationship that is genuine. Gillian is super friendly, professional and an expert in her field. She helped me move from an organisation that didn't value me as a person or as a professional and 7 weeks into my new role, I couldn't be happier.
