I was communicating with Lauren since I’ve made an application for my current role which I am going to start on Monday and all I can say that she was amazing! Professional, explained the role really well, communication was excellent not only with me, but also with a client to schedule interviews for me. Sending catch up emails, providing all the relevant info. Highly recommend and all the best for you Lauren!
