After living in London for the past three years, I had become massively out of touch with my North East network. This was largely because my network relied heavily on my university connections, and the majority had since dispersed around the world. I soon realized my return to the North East wasn’t going to be as easy as I had assumed. I spent weeks on LinkedIn and job sites looking for a role similar to my London position. I reached out to old colleagues and posted several times to my neglected LinkedIn network asking for help… Newcastle help.
I’m not sure if it was the algorithm working in my favour or pure chance, but days later, a job post appeared that sounded perfect—exactly what I had been looking for. I sent off my application and digital portfolio, and Greg soon hopped on a call with me, providing a very honest idea of the company, role, culture, expected salary, and future of the business. He had a direct approach, which I very much appreciated after several recruiters had sold me ‘the dream’ job, followed by an unpleasant interview process.
But not this time. I had a call with Greg that painted a very clear picture of what I was walking into, along with some much-needed words of encouragement. Two weeks later, I met with my now manager and the managing director of the company. The following week, I was offered the job. That was eight months ago now, and I can honestly say Greg described this role exactly as it is. It’s a role and company I love being a part of, which not many people can say. I’m thankful for Greg being so efficient but mostly for setting me up in the role I’m in now.
I’d highly recommend Greg from a candidate point of view as well as a client perspective. I’ve seen Greg maintain a relationship with our MD since.
Thank you,
Abbie Quinn,
Social Media Manager at White Digital
