I had my first contact in early 2022 and Charlotte has always been helpful since day one. She has enormous enthusiasm for her role, assisted me and my partner finding new tailored made opportunities that matched our profile as a couple and guided us on our working journey through Europe. She's always available with a smile and certainly ready to go extra mile to ensure that her work is carried out with great professionalism.
Without a doubt one of the best recruiters and human beings I know - grazie mille Charlotte! I can't recommend her highly enough.
