Throughout my career, I’ve been contacted by many recruiters through various professional platforms, but what immediately stood out to me was Ed’s approach. His initial message included everything I needed to know—an overview of the company, supporting documents, and even a link to the company’s website.
When we spoke, Ed was incredibly thorough. He clearly explained the company’s background, the role itself, and his part in the recruitment process. He was transparent about how the process would unfold and supported me every step of the way.
From checking in after each interview, to sharing key insights about the individuals I’d be speaking with, to celebrating with me once I secured the role—Ed was there through it all. I’m genuinely grateful to him for bringing this opportunity to me and for his exceptional support throughout the journey.
Best Wishes!
