• I seem to be viewing lots of negativity about recruitment firms so thought it would be timely to say a thank you to Katherine Hackett of Nigel Wright Recruitment. Her communication with me was first class when others disappeared off the radar after various boasts. My career path has meant I had little experience of interviews and she took time out to help me. Although the role I took was not one that Katherine had sourced for me I have no doubts her subtle advice played a part in my interview success. Katherine, all the best, thanks again and I'm sure our paths will cross again at some point in the future!
