Talk to me about:
“I had great contact with Polly Mortimer at Peridot throughout the recruitment process. Polly explained what was happening and when I could expect to hear more from the employer: nothing was too much bother. If I asked Polly to clarify issues with the employer she was very happy to do so, did it promptly and got back to me. Polly had a very pleasant, helpful and professional manner. I felt she really wanted to do as much as possible for me. This professional service from Peridot is much better than other agencies I have used.”
