I have been working with Headway Recruitment for over eight years to provide staff to my department for both temporary and permanent requirements. They have helped recruit for a variety of positions including CAD Designers, Electrical Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. I enjoy dealing with Headway Recruitment because of their experienced and knowledgeable consultants and their consistent high level, honest service. Headway have always listened to my requirements and provided me with relevant and high calibre candidates. I had in the past used a handful of agencies to assist me with filling vacancies, but Headway Recruitment is definitely my preferred agency.
