Would recommend Rotherwood Recruitment, Ebbonie especially. Cannot thank her enough for helping me get back into work so quickly. Within a week I have a face to face meeting with her, an interview for a job role matching my skills to then being offered the position. Ebbonie is very attentive, supportive and communicated throughout with helpful tips and knowledge to prepare before the interview. Ebbonie thank you again!

I want to say a massive thank you to the team and mainly Abbie for placing me into a role where I was taken on the day after due to good matching. Abbie listened to what I wanted and gave me a brilliant opportunity, thanks so much for the support and encouragement throughout my time with Rotherwood. I wouldn't work for another agency as everything is very straight forward and easy.
