Why I love to recruit
Helping people is the #1 priority. I love recruitment as it gives the opportunity to help people in one of the most daunting things you can face - gaining a new job!

When I'm not working I like to
Reading, sunbathing, exploring and adventuring are at the top of the list for activities. When I'm not relaxing at home, I'll be in Wales with my partner exploring Southern areas and drinking lots of coffee with the in-laws.

About Rob Chatfield:

Rob has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this process. From our very first conversation he took the time to genuinely understand my background, my experience and what I was looking for and matched me to an opportunity that feels like a genuinely strong fit. His communication has been excellent throughout, prompt, clear and always professional. The interview briefing pack he prepared was exceptionally thorough and demonstrated real care in wanting me to succeed. It's clear that Rob goes well beyond simply placing candidates, he invests in preparation and takes genuine pride in getting the right outcome for both sides. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a recruiter who combines professionalism with a warm, personal approach. He has made what can be a stressful process feel supported and manageable every step of the way. Rob has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this process.

About Rob Chatfield:

Rob was by far the best experience I've had with a recruitment agency. He displayed a strong level of intelligence and experience within my field of work, and answered every question I had without fail. Whereas other recruiters I've delt with in the past have been robotic and impersonal, Rob was both friendly and efficient in assisting with my job search.
