My overall experience with the recruitment process at We Are Adam was outstanding. Vanessa was absolutely amazing and played a crucial role in securing the position for me. She took the time to get to know me, my experience, and my strengths, as well as understanding what I was looking for in my next role. Her personalised approach made me feel valued and confident throughout the process.
