Testimonial

“After deciding to relocate to Toronto from the UK I was relieved to have Steve helping with my job search. From the beginning he was keen to understand my specific requirements and was great at managing expectations and remaining fully transparent throughout the whole process. I ended up with a role that was very well suited to what I was looking for and Steve has remained in contact since I started the new role to check in, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a new role.”
