We were looking to hire a Senior Digital Marketing Executive and reached out to Jasmin Eastwood, who I’ve worked with previously. Jasmin, along with Alice Curran, managed the process for us from start to finish. They helped manage expectations around skill sets and salaries and communicated clearly and professionally throughout.

I would highly recommend working with Alice and Jasmin.
