Sabine quoted .....

“The Software and Mobile industry is

undoubtedly one of the most innovative and

exciting sectors in the UK to be working within

currently. There are ever evolving platforms and

technologies to be working with to create an

unlimited amount of services and products.

Inevitably, new technologies are closely

followed with workforce skills shortages within

the sector, which is a recognised issue within

the IT sector as a whole. In the long term,

positive actions have been taken UK wide to try

and combat this issue (such as Computer

Science and coding being introduced during

Secondary education). However, in the short

term there are, perhaps unusually, more job

vacancies than suitable candidates to fulfil the

role. Throughout this competitive market, it is

imperative that clients retain and appreciate

their staff as well as ensuring they are

consistently exposed to the latest

technologies”.

Sabine was really friendly, and very helpful right from the start. As apermanent developer who'd been in the same role for a number ofyears, the job market was completely new and daunting to me. WhenSabine approached me she was able to provide a number ofopportunities tailored to my specific skill set, and was availablethroughout the entire process to answer any queries or address anyconcerns I had. The process resulted in me being offered a fantasticopportunity with a company that is exactly what I was looking for.Interviews were arranged very quickly, and I was always able to get incontact / arrange calls around my current job. Overall, I wouldn'thesitate coming back to Sabine and Venturi if I ever decide to moveon again in the future, or for the future as a potential hiring manager. Candidate

Sabine is an outstanding recruiter, she's very keen to develop strongworking relationships with applicants and has a high attention todetail. After a relevant discussion of my experience and interests,Sabine put me forward for a vacancy that closely matched my profile.She is very quick to inform me of any new information and made sureI was solidly prepared for my interview. Most notably, Sabine also hasa great understanding of my role requirements which is a rare qualityin technical recruiters. Ultimately, her hard work ensured that I washired. Nearly eighteen months on I remain very happy in my newposition, and I know my employers are happy too. I really appreciatethat she has kept in touch and is genuinely interested in how I'mgetting on. Whether moving positions in the future, or seeking atrustworthy recruitment consultant for my own hiring needs, Sabinewould be the professional I'd approach first. I am delighted torecommend her.
