Report
I dealt with Headliners through my contract that they placed me into for eighteen months. I enjoyed every minute of working with staff and managers, and always enjoyed the professional, direct manner in which everything was communicated and handled. I felt their approach and genuine nature in which they work is set to match and consider both employer and employee. It was nothing but a pleasure, and I would have no hesitation in recommending to their clients and job seekers.

Having worked with a few agencies in the past, working with Headliners was truly a breath of fresh air. They were brilliant from start to finish when they successfully placed me in a great role and our post interactions were always a pleasure. The team were quick to respond to all my queries, highly professional and if given the opportunity in the future, I'd happily work with them again. Great team!
