 Gabi is undoubtedly the best Talent Resourcer I've ever encountered!

She has been supporting me in finding different jobs for the past three years, and throughout that time, she has been supportive, friendly, understanding and caring.

Being in the right environment has allowed them to settle quickly and enjoy the work they’re doing, contributing positively to their ongoing professional development.

I have worked with Sabie for several temporary placements in housing services throughout my time with Luton Borough Council since June 2024.

Throughout, Sabie has been approachable and easy to deal with, and has had a good grasp of the requirements in what is a specialised area of recruitment. Communication has been very good, and on top of that, Sabie has a manner that makes it easy to raise issues that could be regarded as sensitive. I recommend her and her services without hesitation.
