About Us

Joanne was a massive help from start to finish. She found a great opportunity that suits me very well for the beginning of my career and was very supportive throughout. She provided me with some pre-interview tips which really helped in my preparation. This preparation helped me to respond really well in my interview and leave a good impression. I was over the moon when she called and gave the good news that I would be offered the role! Thank you for all your hard work Joanne!

I would like to express my formal gratitude to Joanne Watkinson for her assistance in recommending me for the position of Legal Personal Assistant, which I am pleased to announce I have successfully secured.

Joanne’s professionalism, guidance, and support during the recruitment process were greatly appreciated. Her continuous communication, expertise, and dedication were exceptional, and I am sincerely thankful for the assistance she provided to me.

Thank you for everything, Joanne.❤️❤️

Jo approached me for a position that she felt was very suited to my CV and experience. From the start, she was very professional and kept in regular communication with me about the job. Jo helped me to prepare for the interview by providing me with very useful facts about the company I was applying for as well as great interview tricks and tips. We had a teams call before my interview to help me prepare and she gave me the confidence to go for it and do the best I can! Successfully and thanks to Jo’s hard work, I was offered the job I wanted and managed to successfully ace my interviews. Jo communicated with the company and kept me informed at all times to ensure I was kept in the loop. Without her, I wouldn’t have had the confidence or the knowledge to go for this job. Thank you for setting me up with an amazing job with a successful company.

Joanne found me a new paralegal role. Her insight and knowledge were incredibly useful. She helped me understand exactly what was needed for the interviews.
