TESTIMONIALS
“We have been working with Cartwheel Recruitment since early 2009. They consistently demonstrate their ability to deliver exceptional candidates across all levels; having recruited most of our senior leadership team via Cartwheel as well as numerous candidates at Area and Unit level.
Right from the very outset, the team took time to visit our head office and key locations within our business, to gain a real understanding of the culture we are building and the style of leadership we wanted to attract into our organisation. The teams from both the Nottingham and London offices have invested time in building relationships which has enabled Cartwheel to support our recruitment needs from the North of England through to the South West. We continue to benefit from a strong working relationship with the team at Cartwheel and would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
