‘A professional service and prompt communications made this a very seamless process from start to finish. Thank you so much!’

‘The best recruitment agency I have dealt with, from helping with supporting information to ongoing communication throughout the process. Special mention to Kaye who was superb.
From the initial expression of interest right through to the final agreement, I felt totally supported throughout the process by Kaye. I have dealt with many recruitment agencies over the years and Search Higher, especially Kaye, provided the best service I have experienced.’

‘Shortly after applying, I was contacted by a WEG recruitment manager, who provided more context and gave me the opportunity to ask questions about the role and the recruitment process. I was given an early indication of likely interview dates and the next stages, should I be successful. The presentation and interview process were organised very smoothly, and I felt well informed about what to expect. The results of the interview were communicated within 24 hours. Similarly, the post-offer discussions that followed the offer of employment were very professional, efficient and clear.’
