A genuinely in-depth recruiter review...
I expected a quick CV polish but received a genuinely in-depth recruiter review. Michelle showed me exactly how my CV would be interpreted during shortlisting and provided practical, prioritised recommendations based on real recruiter judgement. I can't recommend her highly enough.
