Nurole’s ability to cast the net wider enabled me to put myself forward for a role that I would not otherwise have heard about. The process was managed very efficiently and the role spec was very clear. The requirement to explain your suitability for and reasons for interest in the role meant the interviewers are well prepared, and the discussion within the interviews are more focussed and substantive.
