  • "​Ashlea spent three years trying to contact me - that is tenacity!! It paid off because when I was ready to leave my job her name was very familiar to me, so I was happy to have a chat. She does her homework and does not try to fit a round circle into a square hole. She actually takes time and care in selecting the right candidates for the roles she has and therefore both parties are happy with the outcome. She was incredibly professional and responsive making sure that the interview and enrolment process was moving forwards quickly. She builds rapport easily and consequently, I find her very easy to talk to. Would highly recommend. Thank you Ashlea - I am happy to be working again!"
