 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best recruitment company that I've worked with. Louisa was professional, personable and efficient with communications. Burford Recruitment contacted me after a role I'd originally applied and interviewed for became available at a later date, and has landed me with a dream job. Very appreciative of their time and effort.
