Her support made a real difference, and we truly appreciated her efforts.

We were initially contacted directly by Kerry from Vetro regarding a potential Registered Home Manager she was working with. I spoke with Kerry to discuss the role, our requirements, and the candidate she had in mind.

Highly recommend Vetro...would never consider another agency and that is down to Kerry.

I have previously worked with Kerry, and after letting her know I was looking for work again, it took her less than 2 days to come back with what I asked for. Not only that, she made sure I was prepared for the interview and checked in before and after, she did go above and beyond like previous, with a personal touch.

Honestly, you've been amazing.

You don't just get the roles we need, you get me, how I work, what kind of personalities click with me, and who's going to fit in with our wider team. That makes such a difference, especially at senior level.
