Great service as ever from Orka. Most recently I sent an email on a Wednesday and had a new starter by the next morning!
They provide a very professional yet personal service. They really do try to tailor candidates to the role. Would highly recommend.
I have dealt with Orka for a number of years. They take the time to listen to you to understand what you are looking for from your role rather than push you into something which isn't right just to hit their target. Because of this, I will always recommend them to friends who are in the market for a new job. I have just secured a temporary role with them, and I think Tom was genuinely pleased for me.
A fantastic team on both permanent and interim recruitment who give a level of insight and responsiveness way above my normal experience of recruitment agents. Highly recommended
Jack and Ross have been brilliant - regular and honest communication (lacking with other large recruiters!). Thank you for all your support.
The most professional recruitment agent for finance in the Thames Valley area, Orka always provide a personal and attentive service compared to most. I have used them for years, both as a job seeker and as a recruiter and would highly recommend.
