After spending close to a year looking for a new writing job, finally the lovely people at Spotlight managed to help me nail a new role. Out of all the recruiters I've worked with this past year, these guys actually sounded like they cared, and it showed in their efforts. Regular updates, checking in, even hitting me up on my first day to wish me luck. Very good service, use these guys over all the other waster recruiters out there.

I resigned from my job on the 1st of June. I had a new job offer on the 8th of June. Georgia reached out to me and understood my concerns for the very first moment. She made the whole process less stressed and more focused mentally and practically by acting as an everyday advisor.Millie was there to keep me updated on any changes and encourage me before an interview.I have no words to express my gratitude for Georgia and Millie. It was the first time in my life that I had looked for a job, and I wasn't stressed. They kept me calm, and I could focus on the process and dig into the role.For 1M time, Thank you both of you for your time and devotion :)
