• Matthew is the best recruiter I have interacted with. Before he sent my application to the company, he phoned me and emailed me about the job and what changes I should make to my CV to make myself the best candidate. He was employed but the company and not by me, this is the only time a recruiter has ever personally interacted with me at all – every other time they have just forwarded my application. After the phone call interview with the company, he got back in touch to discuss the job further and what I should do to prepare for the in person interview. I got the job with the help of Matthew but I’d be writing this recommendation even if I didn’t. He even sent me an email to ask how my first day of work was. Im not even the one paying him and I’m sure the company pays him once I sign the contract so he sent that email just because he genuinely cares about his graduate employees.

• Matthew was extremely helpful for me throughout the process.

Really appreciate all his help, and even after I got the job he has been checking in on how I’m doing which is really thoughtful. Big thank you to him!
