My point of contact in Marks Sattin was Alex Simmons and he was just exceptional. Very clear with the requirements and the ask from the clients and details around the role. He was very transparent and helpful throughout the whole process. His responsiveness and approachability was really good. Extremely professional while also being quite warm. I would recommend Marks Sattin just because of him probably but otherwise as well they are very organised.

The worst agency ever never have i ever been considered for a role through this agency even though there was a role which MS were recruiting for and another agency and when i applied for the role they sent me an email saying i wasn't suitable for the role which was alot rubbish as i got the same role through other agency. Apparently they are so bust that they cant take calls so Unprofessional and a total waste of time registering.

Spam emails with NO unsubscribe really get my goat! Why would I want to engage with a company that shows no respect for the basic protocols of communication!
