I spoke to Elena to register with Victoria Wall. She was super kind and professional, very nice experience! A couple of months after my registration, Rosa contacted me for a great role. She actively kept me up-to-date during the hiring process and helped me land this amazing job : I would highly recommend this recruitment agency which offers a quality service, professionalism and a real positive experience!

I have been temping for nearly 10 years and I cannot fault VWA. From my initial contact with them up until the point of an offer they have been so helpful and lovely to work with. It is rare to find agencies that actually listen to what you're looking for and spend time getting to know you. Nick and Elena especially have been a delight to work with. I have worked through nearly every London agency and they are definitely the best so far. Highly recommend.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any professional E.A. to sign up with this agency. Nicholas Watts is the best recruiter ever and is as good as his word, working tirelessly to find you the right role. His follow-up and support are exemplary, he is a great asset to the company.

VWA are an incredible agency to work for; over the last 2 years Nick has placed me in numerous temp roles with wonderful companies, and has been brilliantly communicative, supportive and efficient throughout. During the pandemic their support for their workers really shone through, and they proved themselves to be a company of integrity. I would highly recommend this agency, by far the best recruitment agency I've worked for, with the best clients!

I have recently been placed at a great company via VWA and my experience has been amazing! My consultant was Felicity Ambler and she showed great persistence and determination in getting me my first job in UK. I have a great EA/PA experience outside the country but was facing challenges in getting a good job in UK. Felicity and VWA lined me up with numerous opportunities which matched my profile and expectations and the entire process was smooth. I would highly recommend VWA!

I have recently been placed at a great company via VWA and was very happy with the entire experience. My consultant was Nick Watts and he was great. The process was managed from end to end in a very professional and informative way. Nick kept me in the loop from the first interview request, updating me on each stage as it went along and everything ran so smoothly. I recommend this company for getting you decent companies/roles and for providing a warm, yet efficient service.
