ANJA WINNER IS....... The best "Kemped" secret in the recruitment world. Amazing experience!!! I found myself out of work on August 11th and at 57, it was a worry about how long it would take me to secure my next role. After trawling through hundreds (if not thousands) of job emails from LinkedIn and all the well known job websites with some minor success, I decided to reach out to several specialist recruitment companies for a sales role in the door/fire & security industries. Then along came ANJA. Within a day of reaching out, Anja had made contact with me and sent my details out to several clients she worked with. One week later, I had been for an interview and received my job offer. Of all the specialist recruitment companies I had contacted, Anja was by far the most proactive and informative. Thank you Anja for all you've done. Without your help I could envisage me still looking for work in another month's time. You have introduced me to a great company where I feel I can thrive in the role and I am forever grateful.

Kemp Recruitment has been incredibly supportive throughout my application process. Tyler was especially excellent — professional, friendly, and always quick to help with any questions. He kept me updated, made everything feel straightforward, and genuinely cared about getting things right. I really appreciate the effort and support from Tyler and the whole Kemp Recruitment team. Highly recommended.
