I applied for my first agency role with Eden brown, it was a very smooth and easy process to do. Furthermore the help I got by Abs and Taylor was excellent due to their communication skills.

Matt@EdenBrown negotiated my current post and it has been an excellent appointment in my career. I've dealt with other agencies in the past who get you in and then you hardly hear from them. However, Matt has been there to sort out everything from time sheet issues, managing the Umbrella company, to negotiating an extension with a pay rise. I've nothing but good to speak of these guys and would highly recommend. Thanks again EB &Co.

Carly Barber = superstar. It is always an absolute pleasure to deal with her. Professional, polite and always taking the time to genuinely understand the need and requirement as opposed to just palming off candidates. Highly recommended 6*! Asif Khan (Head of Compliance, Notting Hill Genesis)

This is the first time that I have worked through an agency so cannot compare to other agencies. I found Eden Brown to be very professional and extremely helpful, in particular Carly Barber who was very pleasant and answered all my questions with patience and good humour. I was quickly matched to a job which is working out well. Happy to give 5 stars.
