Emma has been genuinely fantastic in helping me secure a new role in PR. Having found very few suitable part-time openings in the comms field when job hunting solo, I was so grateful to her for the many opportunities and connections she presented to me. As well as taking the time to listen to exactly what I was after, she kept in constant contact throughout the process and encouraged me to explore opportunities I hadn't previously considered. Would definitely recommend!

Emma's professionalism, knowledge and service were second to none. We were able to move things forward quickly even whilst I was away on a trip to Singapore with a 7 hour time difference. This is testament to Emma's relationship with the client. I have now secured an excellent local, c-suite position with an amazing company. If you are a senior sales and/or marketing professional looking for your next career move I wouldn't hesitate to use Emma and Select's recruitment expertise. They are trustworthy and humble as well as being dynamic and exceptional at what they do. That's rare nowadays. A big thank you from me!

After signing up with Select, I was quickly contacted by Emma Baylis, who went over what I was looking for in a new role and my previous experience. She then managed to secure 3 interviews that matched my requirements, 1 of which I have accepted a job offer from - this was all in the space of 2 weeks! Emma is excellent at communicating, and extremely friendly and easy to speak with - I would definitely recommend to others and use Select again should I ever need to in the future.

Far and away the best and easiest recruitment process I have experienced. Emma Baylis was absolutely fantastic throughout: patient, communicative and really showed an understanding of my experience and how that related to roles that were available - including ones I might not have considered or applied for. If there were 6 stars I'd have given that. Fantastic service and professionalism and I am of course delighted with my new role
