March 2023

David has been fantastic, I’ve had two other recruiters from diffrent ferms, but David made me feel like I was working with him, not just people showing me job options I’ve already spotted on Linked In, he’s helped me each step of the way and given some fantastic advise, not only would I recommend Identifi Global to friends, I’d recommend David personally best recruiter I’ve ever had the chance to work with.

David was brilliant. He had really helpful points to improve my CV and he was really easy to talk to. I felt he was really understanding and really help outline what the company to which I am applying look for in candidates.
