Trying to find a new job is challenging and at times overwhelming - most applications seem to go into the ether. Having applied for a job via Kemp Recruitment, I spoke with Shane who was able to give me an overview of the position. He kept me updated and was really positive and encouraging, - just what you need before an interview. I've been successful with an offer of the job, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Shane

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.
