Jamie Hicken is your man! Any recruitment needs im glad I've had Jamie.

I have just accepted the second job over a few years now through Jamie and it's a great and easy experience everytime.

One of the only recruitment agents out there that actually listen to candidates rather then just chucking them at any role for commission!

100% reckoned and would definitely use again

I've just moved jobs with the help of kemp recruitment, this was my first experience of using a recruitment agency so I didn't really know what to expect id heard stories of other people's experiences with various recruiters so i will admit i was wary. But Jamie was phenomenal from start to finish really friendly really helpful and actually seemed to give a damn which was nice.

Hopefully I wont be on the job search again any time soon but if I am ill definitely drop her a message first after this experience.
