Kemp Recruitment couldn’t have been more helpful in securing me a new job as a service engineer. After a quick phone call to understand what I was looking for, Rob and Dave had me an interview secured the following morning. Both Rob and Dave were very attentive throughout the whole process making it as painless as possible. Can’t thank Rob and Dave enough for their best efforts and support.
