Jennie is a highly skilled publishing recruiter with brilliant communication, negotiation and people skills. Throughout the recruitment process she was always on hand to offer a wise word of advice, encouragement or provide support, and proved invaluable when it came to agreeing the final job offer.

Inspired Selection stands out as a recruitment consultancy which takes a considered and intelligent approach to the job search process. I felt looked-after and valued as a candidate, roles were relevant to what I was looking for, I was given a lot of information before an interview so that I felt prepared and I wasn't pressured to continue with an application if I did not feel it was right for me.
