Jonathan Pelosi

I dealt with Katy who was very professional in every interaction. She briefed me on the post and the employer, gave me advise re preparation and arranged the interview quickly and efficiently. Katy then followed up with an excelent debrief and subsequently the formal offer. Katy found the perfect post for me and I am extremely grateful. I would recommend both her and PropRec to both candidates and employers absolutely and without any reservations. Thank you

Matthew Bates

I received a call from Katy, with regards a job that even I probably wouldn't have thought was something within my skill set. But after a quick char realised that I could be. Its so refreshing and inspiring, to hear from a recruiter that didn't pigeon hole a candidate based on their previous experience, bit had taken the time to look into their skills and have a real understanding about the industry that people are from and the knowledge to be able to see how skill sets can be transferable. A credit to the company and a real asset to the companies she is recruiting for. Keep it up. MB
