Report
I was recently head hunted by Trudi Patience for a role in the Property Industry. Trudi thought i would be a great fit for the position and was very informative about the role being offered. She has been such a pleasure to liaise with, whilst maintaining professionalism throughout the whole process, from our first conversation to me being made an official offer of employment. I would highly recommend the recruitment services of Alexander Lort in the future. Thank you Trudi!
