About Your Recruiter - Andrew Wicks

Job Search

I have had a lot of experience in dealing with permanent and temporary recruitment agencies and have become cynical of the whole process. However, having been introduced to Initiate Recruitment after simply recieving a phone call in regard to a job advertisement, this changed. I have received outstanding service from Matthew Aylen who quickly gained an understanding of our requirements and took the time to understand how we work. I highly recommend Initiate Recruitment.
