I had a fantastic experience working with Laura from Johnson Recruitment. From the very beginning, she was professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right role. She kept me well-informed throughout the process, provided valuable insights, and made the entire journey smooth and stress-free.

Alex was an excellent support from my first contact to successfully securing the position. He was clear about what I should expect and kept in touch during the whole process. Alex reminded me that the interview process was also a chance for me to check whether or not the organisation and it’s people were a good fit for me!
Would definitely work with him again.
