I worked for Margaret at her previous recruitment firm, sourcing candidates for office-based roles across the South East. I learnt a lot from Margaret.  She is an extremely knowledgeable and successful individual with a vast amount of experience working in recruitment. I was inspired by Margaret’s ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and candidates. Margaret was always positive, calm, and professional. She made it her priority to deliver a high-quality service to all clients and went above and beyond to exceed their expectations. Margaret invested time understanding each of her clients, their business and their needs which enabled her to find the most suitable candidates for each role. I really enjoyed working for Margaret and I was motivated by her strong work ethic, professionalism, and enthusiasm to succeed. Margaret encouraged me every day, to achieve the upmost for our clients and candidates, she was supportive and inspirational. – Resourcer
