Oli was very helpful, supportive and kind, knowing there was somebody supporting me to find work gave me hope and confidence.

Lead IQA
RACPDI was lucky enough to work with NSA recently, when I was looking for employment after a shock redundancy. NSA was consummately professional and one of the best Recruitment Agencies I've ever dealt with. They made the whole process simple and put me at ease throughout, I always had what I needed to make the process easy. They kept me updated right through to my ultimate success in gaining the position. I would definitely work with the NSA Team again. Hand on heart, I can easily recommend to anyone. -
Lovely Candidate Feedback
Lucia called me a week ago after seeing my CV available on CV Library. Lucia found me the perfect job opportunity. She was polite and courteous and a breath of fresh air to speak to. Lucia put me forward and following my interview I have now gained the perfect job for me. I can't thank Lucia enough for her help and professionalism. Thank you Lucia for your help. Lucia is a credit to the NSA. - PT Warrington
