How well did they get to know your business and what you do/how you work?
Both Natalie and Peter have taken the time to understand our business quite well by visiting and asking a lot of questions.

How successful have the placements been?
All three have been in the last 9 months and have been very successful. The most recent even being closed during the lockdown.

How has the candidate impacted your business?

What would you say are the top 3 elements of the Handley James service that stood out for you?
All candidates we have interviewed have been thoroughly vetted and ended up with a positive view of both Handley James, and most importantly, of our company.
