Laura was very straight and not promising the world.

She was helpful and responsive and actually found me some work. I have met many others recently and been totally uninspired by them. I have already recommended Vetro to another friend.

Laura went over and beyond and actively worked hard to make sure we found someone who would be suited...

I could see that the applicants sent over, a lot of thought went into it from Laura.

It wasn’t any first candidate or someone who has been sitting on your books for ages being pushed onto us.
