What our Candidates say

Hi Mia. Thank you very much for finding me this placement, they are a lovely team to work with. It’s so refreshing to work with a competent agency again.
Claire
Ask yourself, does my recruiter have my best interest at heart? I'm a veterinary surgeon who always felt the empowerment I have given Sophie Collier of Gardner Llewlyn was based in my trust in her that not only does she represent the veterinary companies that utilize my services, but she genuinely cares about my love and passion for my job. There are different kinds of recruiters in this world. I don't think my self to be important, but rather a locum vet that gets hired to help where needed. But one thing about great recruiters, they make two parties happy. That's Sophie. That's a real recruiter to me.
Andrew
On a personal note, please may I thank you for all you input and guidance in securing this role for me. You have been the ultimate professional with a deep understanding of the challenges in the market coupled with a rapid appreciation of my skillset and sourcing an exciting match. You have instilled the confidence that I needed to apply my experience and skill transference. Your approach is deeply tailored to an individual and your service is exemplary. You are a rare talent and one that secures your Agency's excellent reputation.
