I had the pleasure working with Katie Tyrrell at i2i for a brilliant temp position at a well known company. Katie is helpful, professional, and efficient and I got the job offer within a week. I was well looked after by Katie the whole way through and she was very supportive to help me well prepared for the interview. Just can't thank her and i2i recruitment enough for all that they have done for me.

Having recently been contacted by Gabriella at i2i recruitment regarding a position with a well known company, I cannot fault i2i recruitment. Gabby was brilliant very informative, friendly and professional. Contact was made by email and phone regularly, if she was unavailable when I called Gabby would always return my call, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely contact i2i again if looking for a position.
