Archie was so helpful throughout the process in helping me find a new role. She was constantly in contact with me to make sure I knew what was going on as well as well as helping me when I needed. I couldn’t ask for more in a recruitment consultant. She’s a real asset to Owen Reed.

Saniha has been amazing from the start. She is very friendly whilst also being a true professional. She gave me excellent advice for my interview and assisted me with the prep. She kept in constant contact throughout without being pushy, unlike other agents I’ve experienced in the past. I got the first job she put me forward for and she made contact after to see how everything was going. Couldn’t ask for more! 😊
