"From our first conversation, Lyndsey has been exceptional - always following through when she said she'd be in touch and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. In an industry where communication can often be lacking, her reliability and professionalism really stood out. What started as a temporary placement has turned into a permanent position, which speaks volumes about Lyndsey's ability to match candidates with the right opportunities. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and found a role that was genuinely a great fit. Working with her made what can often be a stressful process actually enjoyable and I can't thank her enough."
"From the initial contact to all subsequent follow-up, the team at Global Highland have been engaging, enthusiastic and professional. I was paired up with a suitable role almost immediately and from there, the process has been transparent and seamless. Happy to recommend the team and will certainly look forward to dealing with Global Highland again in the future."
