Testimonials

“Iain from MLR Careers helped me find a company when I felt the time was right to re-start my career. Iain's professionalism, efficiency and knowledge of his clients was second to none. I sent a CV to Iain on the Tuesday evening, and he called me first thing on the Wednesday for a detailed conversation about my CV before he spoke to a client he had in mind. I then received a further call from Iain inviting me to a Zoom interview with the MD the following Monday. This progressed to a second interview the following day and I started my new career 2 days later. This has been my first experience of dealing with a Recruitment Agency and I would thoroughly recommend MLR Careers to anyone wanting a first class, thorough and swift turnaround in securing the next step of your career. Thank you, Iain. ”
