Emma really took the time to get to know the culture of our business and the make-up of the team to ensure the candidates she put forward weren’t only capable of doing the job but were also a fit for the working environment and culture - which is absolutely vital. She provides credible and insightful support and guidance throughout the process, gained through many years spent in the industry, which is invaluable for us. I would 100% recommend the Inclusive team if you want an honest recruiter who puts your business’s best interests at the centre of the process.”
