Candidates Reviews
Built for Mental Health Professionals
Hardworking and kind. Always goes the extra mile to find work that suits your needs. I wouldn’t use anyone else! Genuinely cares about finding you the right work and you never feel they are trying to ‘sell you something’. I admire their ability to work with integrity and honesty.
Dr Jennifer S.
Forensic Psychologist
It has taken me over a decade to find an agency that listens and don’t sound like they are reading from a script! An agency with personality, finally!
Mr Chris W.
Occupational Therapist
I have dealt with my consultant for over 8 years now and he’s got the best/worst dad jokes in the business! Thanks to him and his hard work I’ve not had a single gap on my CV in that time. He’s never let me down and although I’d never say it to his face I really appreciate what he does!
Dr Anna S.
Clinical & Forensic Psychologist
My consultant goes above and beyond on a weekly basis. He responds to emails on weekends, takes evening calls if needed, he is always on hand to help and works around my limited availability. He makes an effort to visit and even takes me out for lunches!
Ms. Maggie Q.
Forensic Social Worker
Incredibly professional and effective agency that has kept me in consistent employment since I made the switch from a competitor a few years back. They always deliver and my consultant never fails to make me laugh when I call. Have recommended them to several of my colleagues!
