Report
I found myself looking for work during the pandemic which, as anyone can appreciate, is a far from ideal situation. Recruitment Solutions and, in particular, Claire genuinely wanted to find a role for me. Despite a couple of opportunities falling through, she persisted in trying to get me into work and was always responsive to my queries. I have now accepted a role and am due to start it soon. I have nothing but praise for Recruitment Solutions (Folkestone) Limited for doing the nigh on impossible in helping me get a job when so many people are losing theirs.
