TESTIMONIALS

„After facing redundancy, Eloise and Charlotte from Carter Murray helped me to secure an incredible new role in under a month. They were both unbelievably supportive, insightful and tenacious in helping me to find the right opportunity.

From the very beginning, they had an acute sense of the type of roles that I was looking for and offered me detailed insights into each organisation and opportunity that they put me forwards for. They acted as true advocates, liaising with employers on my behalf, and setting up support calls before interviews to ensure that I was doing the right kind of preparation – no question was left unanswered.

They regularly checked in with me and went out of their way to offer personal encouragement and reassurance. I am incredibly grateful for their help in finding such a fantastic new role and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking their next opportunity. „
