"I'd like to say what an amazing recruitment agency this is. I had multiple agents contact me for a sales role but only a few were really listening to what I was looking for. George at Aaron Wallis was great, listened to what I was after and immediately got me an interview for a role I was interested in to which I accepted. Thank you for your help, I highly recommend this company."
