My experience with City Wharf Recruitment was amazing, especially with one of the consultants. I feel it’s like being with a friend from the first minute and we actually did not know each other. From the initial chat he understood exactly what I was looking for. He searched for a few possibilities and got a few interviews, resulting in a few different offer proposals and I accepted one of them. Also I was working in Spain, so I can only be in London for a day, but still not a problem, they arranged everything and made it as easy as possible for me. To Summarise, great firm with a very good team that would know exactly what are you looking for
