Tara kept up communication through the whole recruitment process and made the transition effortless. She has offered me support and advice where needed and helped me develop the way I sell myself to employers (no more meek and mild)!!

I worked with Hannah as she managed two roles in our business, recruiting talent for 383, our busy production studio, and also building our candidate portfolio for our sister company IRIS. Not phased by the breadth of the role, Hannah was always highly practical, ever willing to tackle any challenge with a great attitude.

I always valued her versatility and professionalism in any situation, and she has that rare gift of bringing warmth and energy to any room, which is a skill for the ages. I look forward to seeing her be a positive influence in other organisations as her career progresses, I know it will be appreciated.
C DuncanSenior Operations Leader at 383 Project
Always positive and forward thinking, willing to go the extra mile for her clients regardless of whether it’s in her best interests or not .Even if your not actively looking for work and a position comes available that would suit you Tara reaches out anyway. Tara is always available to support and advise regardless of time of day. I would recommend her.

Hannah recently assisted our company in recruiting a Senior Product Manager. From the outset, Hannah demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication throughout the recruitment process. Hannah showcased an impressive understanding of our company's needs and the specific requirements for the Senior Product Manager role. Their attention to detail and commitment to finding the right candidate were evident at every stage. Hannah consistently went the extra mile to ensure a seamless and efficient recruitment process. My team is doing well and when I need to grow further, I’ll be back in touch.
S BarringtonOperations Director
Tara was super friendly and welcoming throughout the whole process - I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a new venture. She kept me in the loop and continually checked in with me until I started my new position.
N StevensonBusiness Development Manager
Having worked with Hannah since 2016, whereby she successfully helped me and Mr Tyre Ltd with our first dedicated apprenticeship recruitment drive, I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any recruitment, training or development needs.

She is personable and professional in equal measure, efficient and proficient. All of which resulted in a number of successful campaigns over a number of years, hopefully to be repeated in the future.
D AndrewsArea Manager at Mr Tyre
Tara really helped me get the perfect role at DBC Training. She is really passionate in what she does and really get to know you and your skills to help you find out the perfect role/career. She listens to exactly what you want and understands your need and helps reach your potential role. I am very grateful to Tara and couldn’t recommend her enough. She is super helpful, very professional and approachable all round an amazing human to know.
K ParmarBusiness Development Executive
Tara helped me get my current role at Paragon. Throughout the whole recruitment process, she was on call for any questions I had. She puts her heart and soul into finding the right role for you, and ensuring you understand it to excel in the interview. She is a lovely, hardworking and extremely likeable person!
H SavvidesBusiness Development Manager
I have had the pleasure of working with Hannah on several occasions. Initially as her manager and I employed her in her first education role. Reliable, intelligent, loyal and such a fast learner! I moved onto pastures new and had to take Hannah with me! not once but twice. She's incredible where it comes to sourcing the very best in education talent as well as always delivering a VIP service to her clients. highly recommended 👌
