“I have had the privilege of knowing Jackie and her team for a number of years; having reached out to Jackie through a mutual contact who had nothing, but the highest praise and regard for her. Jackie has the ability to not only consider whether you, as a candidate, are the perfect fit for a role, but whether the role and company in question, is the perfect fit for you. This comes from her not only understanding and recognising the values and requirements of the company, but getting to know you beyond being a name on a CV. She and her team communicate with you during the recruitment process itself and offer invaluable guidance and direction; absolutely understanding how stressful the process can be to a candidate and being there every step of the way. This communication is continued up to the point of providing feedback after the interview itself. Any delays and their reasons are also shared with you, further cementing her role in the recruitment process. As a candidate, I have always felt that Jackie has had my best interests in mind and that she would do all she could, to ensure that at the end of the day, I am able to pursue a role with confidence and courage. I would recommend Jackie and her team without hesitation.” – Zita vd Sandt
