The best agency I’ve worked with to date! Robbie Lemon was unbelievably professional and supportive from start to finish. He listened to my needs and found a placement that was perfect for me. Robbie was thorough and prompt when I had any questions, was a pleasure to speak to, I really can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a recruiter, look no further than Robbie because he’s worth his weight in diamonds let alone in gold. Thanks for all your hard work and effort!
