Daniel Morgan was just so lovely to deal with! Having never experienced a recruitment agency process before, I was a bit unsure what to expect .... but I was most impressed! Daniel arranged an initial meeting for us in their offices which I left feeling positive and much more confident! I was kept informed at all times and was delighted to have him representing me and negotiating on my behalf. I would highly recommend Vanrath to anyone seeking a new position and especially advise them to chat to Daniel Thank you so much Dan
