About Gemma Harfield:

I personally believe and feel that Gemma paid fantastic attention to my experience as a client for the company that she aligned me with - not only giving me a huge boost in my ability to believe within myself but also taking factual information of issues that had occurred within my life during the ups and downs of my working carrier - relaying this to the company - to which as a result of this has allowed a first stage Microsoft Teams Meeting interview to be organised! 😁 My personal experience and opinion towards Gemma IS that she contains more abilities than so SO many other Recruitment Professionals out within the field of Employment Agents. A REAL talented individual πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ˜ Thankyou Gemma! x
