Someone from the team messaged me about a role on LinkedIn, helped me secure the job. Nicola was amazing helped me to and sort out any queries I had and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process as well as checking in with me when I started. It’s been my first week so far and I’m so happy and grateful. An amazing service with truly kind and compassionate people who want the best for you. I was nervous going through the process but Nicola assured me throughout it. I can’t recommend this service enough! Amazing people work for this company and truly I’m so grateful to have worked with them to secure this role.

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.

My experience with Spotlight was fantastic from the beginning and I could not recommend Sam any higher. From the initial application Sam was proactive and involved, giving great interview feedback. Upon receiving news that I had secured the role, Sam was equally as delighted as I was and keen to get the ball rolling.
