One of the best and few recruitment agencies that I can say knows how to be human. They run the business and your position providing the best for all parts.

Report
Worst recruitment experience to date! Happy to put you forward for interviews and call you daily until the interview takes place, no interaction thereafter to provide feedback OR deliver news of being unsuccessful. (I would understand not receiving feedback for a high volume role) But this was between 2 people applying for a management position! Chased for feedback - promised a call back by the recruiter yet no feedback provided!

Report
I have worked with a number of recruiters over the years, both as a candidate and a recruiting manager, and found Tangent to be excellent. They kept me fully informed at all stages of the process, gave really good advice and support, and were very responsive. Overall thoroughly professional and great to work with.
