What our candidates say
"Gemma did a great job... she is knowledgeable, highly professional and a pleasure to deal with - not qualities I'd necessarily associate with all in her profession! But I think there are two things that really set Gemma apart from the rest - the care she takes to help prep you for interviews, which is invaluable, and the fact she really listens."

Head of Regulatory - Top 100 Firm

Refer a friend
We offer a number of referral gifts to appeal to a range of tastes. Since it’s the thought that counts, the principle behind our gifts is to make a difference to you; to one of our canine friends; to someone you don’t know; or to everyone. You choose. When referring a friend you can select an option from the choices below.
Reward options
The dogs trust rely on the generosity of individuals to make a huge difference to the dogs in their care. £200 will help towards the costs of cosy bedding for dogs, buying costs to keep the dogs dry on walks, or help towards the cost of neutering a dog.

With the help of our chosen environmental charity, The World Land Trust (WLT), our £200 could save 2 acres of rainforest as a direct result of each successful referral.
