Lovely ladies working there, seem to want to try their best for you but they do struggle to keep in touch! If they have the right job there, they will certainly put you forward to it. Baker Harding is better than any big recruitment business and they certainly treat you as a respected individual as opposed to an embarrassing dosser like some recruitment agencies do! Strongly recommend.

Fantastic agency! The team at Baker Harding are very helpful and friendly. I can't fault them at all. Within 2 days of signing-up to the agency, I was back in full-time employment. I am so happy with the job I have now and I have a lot to thank Baker Harding for! Would seriously recommend them to anyone.
