Client & candidate testimonials

We recently worked with Meraki to fill a core position in the team. They quickly understood the brief and I was very pleased with the shortlist and how speedily it was delivered. Meraki Talent were excellent in keeping us informed during the process with relevant and timely updates. I would happily work with Meraki again to source great talent.
Scott Mathieson Finance Director
I recently worked with Rhys and Meraki Talent when securing my current role as a Payroll Associate, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish.

Rhys initially contacted me about a role that perfectly matched my language skills, UK payroll experience and career aspirations. It was clear he had taken the time to understand my background before reaching out. Throughout the process, he was professional, supportive and always available to answer my questions.

He quickly secured an interview and arranged a preparation session with both himself and his Director, which proved invaluable. Their guidance gave me the confidence to perform at my best and significantly reduced my nerves.

Rhys kept me informed at every stage, even when there were no updates, demonstrating his commitment and genuine care throughout the process.

Working with Rhys was one of the best recruitment experiences I've had. His professionalism, expertise and personable approach made the journey to my new role seamless, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or work with him again in the future.
