Very professional! Once you've been selected the communication with your recruitment partner flows and as a very interesting unique aspect is that you get a constant feedback from him as you go along at each stage of the process till the end.

Tom was very helpful from the start making sure I was right for the job and the job was right for me before putting me forward, communication was good throughout, I was sent lots of good advice in links before I went for the interview. Because of our chats before I knew what was expected of me before going into the interview, I was able to prepare before hand which helped me a great deal, I highly recommend B3 jobs and Tom
