I was kept updated and got my CV seen, contacted me to tell me I was selected for the interview, kept in contact telling me that I had passed the interview and that I got the job. Intersect Global still keeps in touch seeing how things are going. Which in my opinion is fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new position.

Recruitment process was great. From start to employment was a week or so, very efficient.

Having worked in recruitment myself, I am well aware of what it takes. James had exceptional knowledge of both the role, and my skill set. This meant he understood an experienced Cost Estimator, such as myself, could bring to as a Quantity Surveyor. During the recruitment process he was continually working for me, searching for suitable roles, and finding me interviews. Even now I have successfully started a new position through him, he continues to offer support as I bed in at my new company. The best thing I can say, is that if I am looking for a job in future, he will be my first port of call.

James was fantastic to work with. As a recruiter he maintained a highly professional demeanour & was always friendly when communicating and even managed to find me my perfect job. If all staff at Intersect Global conduct themselves in the same way I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending this company to others seeking help in finding the right job.

The service I received was absolutely excellent. Generally when you sign up to a job agency you hear very little after that, but I was looked after throughout the whole placement process and I felt informed the whole time. Thank you Intersect Global!
