Chris at Vetro has been incredible.

I applied for a role I'd never done before, and not only did he help with my application process, but once I was offered an interview, he spent time ensuring I was sufficiently prepared. He has also made an once-a-week update meeting available to check on my onboarding process. If you're looking for work and support, I'd highly recommend Vetro Recruitment.

Chris was very professional and an asset to the company.

Advice prior to interview reference potential questions and general information to what to expect at an interview.

Even though I was offered a position with another company before the interview, I was impressed with the level of professionalism Chris showed throughout.
