What the Client Said

"Louis and Lee at expand were a fantastic support when we were looking to recruit for a senior hire to join our global team. From the initial contact through to the placement being made they were incredibly personable and efficient, sharing strong knowledge about the market and they really made the effort to learn more about Group M's business and culture in order to submit great CV’s consistent with the quite niche brief we were working with. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with expand again on future roles and can thoroughly recommend them to any other business looking to partner with recruiters who genuinely have the best interests for their clients and candidates at the core of what they do.”
