As we all know, this type of next move, especially after working in a company for almost 10 years, is not an easy one, but I strongly believe that the universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. I wish for other candidates to have at least the same positive experience and enjoy the process as much as I have.”

From this point, the wheels were put in motion and the whole procedure progressed extremely quickly. Colleen kept me informed and updated at all times whenever new details emerged right from the first call to the job offer, providing me with excellent advice and assistance, answering any questions I had promptly and was always contactable. The whole process only took a matter of 2 weeks which was fantastic.

I couldn’t recommend Colleen enough. Throughout my experience, she was always approachable and regardless of how big or small the question a helpful or encouraging answer was always provided. Every effort is made to ensure you are as ready as possible for each interview so it really comes down to how the individual applies this advice.“

I was contacted by Solas and presented with a number of opportunities that suited my skillset. I dealt with one Account Manager who handled the process efficiently and proactively. I secured a contract with a really interesting company and though I’ve since finished this contract I now deal with Solas in a Client capacity and am happy to do so. I would highly recommend their services.

Recently I was in the process of changing jobs. Fortunately Ryan found my cv online and helped me with setting up the interviews. From the outset I could see that he understood my skill set and for which companies I would be a great match. During the whole interview process I felt that I could rely on his guidance and expertise. His professionalism is what I admire the most. Ryan knew that I had other interviews but he never pressured me to make any decision in his favour. I am glad I had his help.

• David Hendrick

I don’t normally write recommendations, but after working with John and the Solas team I have decided that I need to write a glowing one. When John first contacted me I taught he was just like any other recruiter, after my contacts and basically just one of those “recruiter-spammers”. Little to my surprise he was genuinely interested in me and my CV. He has put me in touch with some brilliant companies and he hooked me up with a brilliant job opportunity. He was kind enough to provide feedback every step of the way. John and the rest of the Solas Team are true professionals, they were very respectful and properly managed my expectations throughout the whole process. I am very grateful to have worked with Solas Consulting

• Toni Kostellec

They were extremely efficient in providing me with interview feedback received from employers. They put in huge effort and time when responding to any questions I had. I would highly recommend John and the Solas Consulting team when searching for your next career move.
