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.

Kerry was very friendly and easy to talk too.

I found her approach was very confidential and she respected my privacy of when to contact me and when I wouldn't be available. I appreciated her honest and transparent approach when applying for jobs in giving recommendations, and felt she remained professional at all times.
