I would highly recommend FY recruitment, Claudia was wonderful to work with and always kept me up to date with every stage of the process. I cannot thank her enough for being so supportive throughout my job search.

The experience with FY has always been very professional. They listen and understand our brief and always deliver high calibre candidates. They are the first recruiters we reach out to when we are looking for new team members and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

CF, Executive Search

I was contacted by Katie after applying for a couple of jobs online, I couldn’t have had a better, more smooth experience. Katie made sure she kept in contact with me, let me know what was out there and eventually put me forward for a job which almost a year later I am still in and loving. I ended up ticking all of my boxes of what I wanted from my next job and for that am extremely grateful.
