I would very strongly recommend Yellow Cat, they really go the extra mile to ensure you feel prepared for the interview. Very affable and friendly people to work with, they follow up with what they say and don't leave you in the dark! Without doubt the best recruitment agency that I have worked with.
A huge thank you to Steph and Jonny who made every step of the process incredibly smooth and enjoyable. I felt like I had a little team behind me the whole way!
