Testimonials
``Stephen has been a great asset for my team. Whenever I've had a resourcing need to be met, Stephen has always managed to find me talented candidates who were also a great fit for the role - the two are not synonymous. He's the first person I call when I need to find someone quickly because he understands architecture and takes the time to process all my requirements. He doesn't blanket my inbox and focuses his search so I don't waste time. I highly recommend working with Stephen; he'll find you the right person.``
``Stephen is a former colleague, valuable contact and long-term friend. Throughout my time working in the UK, Steve has put me in contact with numerous peers and networking opportunities, provided quality staff to my organisation, and connected me to a valuable opportunity in Australia which is now my current role.I would highly recommend Steve for representing the best interests of both clients and candidates, but also a charismatic, fun guy who is a pleasure to work with.``
