Client & candidate testimonials

I found Ben supportive, available, and knowledgeable throughout my application. Ben was always at the end of the phone if I had any questions.
Communication was spot on. Ben has excellent industry knowledge, which I found beneficial to me throughout and am delighted to have secured a new position through Meraki.
Candidate
Ben has been a huge support to me this year. He understands the roles and, in my experience, does very well in comparison to his competitors. He provides helpful market updates to the managers and proactively keeps me updated with interesting news and market updates. It is obvious that Ben works hard at providing candidates with a great experience, putting them at the forefront of his mind when challenging me on feedback and our process. There have been a couple of occasions this year where I have lent on Ben exclusively for assistance. The situation internally was sensitive and confidential, however I trusted Ben to message it appropriately to his candidates.
