“Tom has been a great recruitment consultant and made sure that the process ran smoothly from end to end. He is always very easy to reach and keen to listen. He is also great at providing as much information regarding the role and company as possible. I found that he is also quite knowledgeable about data science/analytics so that he can connect appropriate skills/talents with the right job requirements. I would highly recommend working with Tom!” Senior Data Scientist | Liberty Global

Throughout the process he was upfront, easy to reach and proactively provided me with the information I needed.” Data Scientist | Liberty Global
