I was approached by Lewis for a position in a well-respected asset management company in London. Since our first meeting I have been consistently impressed with Lewis' attitude and sharp mind. Through the entire process he was always available to answer my questions and provided me with great insights about the role and the team. Thanks to him I was fully prepared for the interviews as he has covered all the different angles. For this application, Lewis was definitely the X factor that’s helped me to land this position.

I never had any problems with my pay either which is so important when you're working weekly. I would happily recommend Marc and D&A to other jobseekers and agency workers.
