VANRATH and specifically Sean were an incredible help in finding me my new position.
Within a day or two of uploading my CV to the platform, Sean was already on the phone looking to get to know me and my interests and motivations better.
This consideration was then carried through to their job searches and reflected in the opportunities they then offered to me.
I felt that he understood what it was I wanted from my career and cared enough to guide me with respect to that, even if it meant not necessarily jumping at the first opportunity that arose.
This was hugely appreciated by me as I was keen to make the right decision and was so grateful to have a patient, supportive and informed advisor on my side.
Sean was always available for a chat and guidance; helping me prepare for interviews and advising me on his understanding of what it could be potentially entail to work for each company.
I am am now excited and confident to start in my new role, with big thanks to all of his help along the way.
I recently registered with Vanrath and met with their consultant Aisling Bishop to discuss my CV and previous work experiences.
I was very impressed at the range of employers that Vanrath works with, the roles that they have on their books and the service that they provide to job seekers.
I feel confident that Aisling and the Vanrath team will work to find me a post that fits my interests as well as my experiences.
In my eyes, VANRATH is the clear industry leader of recruitment in Northern Ireland.
With a long history of placements, they have perfected the recruitment trade, which was made very clear to me during my time with them.
Whether you plan to find your new role or work directly for VANRATH, you can expect nothing but the best.
Mark from vanrath was a great help when I was seeking a job.
Always put my requests first and made the process easy from start to finish.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for work to give him/vanrath a message to get put in the right direction.
