Conor at Vanrath was very helpful and supportive in securing a new job. The funding for my previous job was becoming less secure and Conor helped me make the leap into a new permanent role. It was a quick process and a bit of luck with timing. I have spoke to other staff and Vanrath and have always found them helpful as well. Didn't want to speak to soon, but two months into my new job and couldn't be happier. Thanks to Jack who kept me in the loop at each stage of the process Very highly recommend Jack, he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which made the experience a lot more pleasant, done my first week at my new job and very happy Jack is a credit to himself and Vanrath. Thanks very much Emma hall and Thomas are really efficient and motivated employees. They are really helping me to get the job. I highly recommend them. When you talk to them you will feel like you know them since long.
