Head of People - Powerstar

The best experience I have ever had when using a recruiter. Katie was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable about the role and then making regular contact to keep me updated, check how I was getting on, and give me advice for each stage of the process. Couldn't recommend Orion and Katie higher.

Lucy works extremely hard and diligently to find the right people for the right roles; I've had nothing but success with the candidates that she's found for me and there have been several in the last few months.
I'd highly recommend talking to Lucy about your roles and seeing what she and her team can do for you, believe me, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks to Katie I landed an amazing opportunity, she guided me step by step from initial contact to final interview stages and made me felt at ease throughout the time. She's an excellent communicator and will make anyone comfortable, would highly recommend Katie to anyone. Thanks

Thank you for your time, understanding and patience. You never get many recruiter agents like yourself, who have a listening ear.
You added a human touch to recruitment which is very commendable.
