Thanks to Adam for helping me find a new job with many opportunities that I would not have had if I had stayed with my old company. I've yet to see how it turns out but I am very grateful for the support Electus has given.

Report
I was approached by Electus a while back for a role which I initially thought was out of my scope however I was encouraged to put myself forward for it of which I duly did. I didn't hear anything back for a while so assumed I hadn't been successful however Katherine contacted me to say they wanted to have an informal chat. I was then invited to attend an interview which resulted in me being offered a role doing something of which I didn't imagine being able to achieve for a while. Katherine showed great skill from the very start, she ensured I was kept up to date with the whole process and answered all of my queries in a timely fashion, she went the extra mile to call me personally to advise on additional details and her encouraging manner instilled a lot of confidence. Would thoroughly recommend her and Elecutus to anyone looking to further their career as they clearly have a keen eye for talent and know their market well
