What our candidates think

Becca Scales – Marketing Manager

I cannot recommend Rachel and Lemon Drizzle highly enough. After months of looking for my next role, Rachel found me the perfect role. She supported me every step of the way through the recruitment process to ensure I had a lot of very helpful insight to help me prepare for my interview. She was extremely communicative and knew exactly what my new employer wanted, and found me the perfect fit both personally and professionally so I couldn't be happier. It was the smoothest recruitment process I have ever had - Rachel is so personally lovely and helpful, and kept me reassured throughout the process and knows her stuff. Highly recommend her and very grateful - thanks again Rachel and Lemon Drizzle! 🙂

From minute one she was extremely accommodating and acted super efficiently from my application to completing the process and signing my contract.

Would honestly recommend over these corporate recruiters as Rachel offers a much more tailored and relatable service!

Couldn’t recommend Rachel highly enough. We discussed what type of opportunity I was looking for and the type of company, then she set about finding that role for me.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

She provided valuable insights into the current job market, which helped me refine my search and focus on positions that truly matched my skills and career goals. What stood out to me the most was her commitment to communication.

Daniel Bulmer – Quantity Surveyor

Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to Rachel! I’m completely blown away by the service provided. I approached Rachel via LinkedIn and presented her with my circumstances and criteria for employment, we immediately arranged a Teams meeting to discuss various opportunities and have a general discussion to allow Rachel to gain a better understanding of me, my experience, aspirations and ability. Less than 24 hours from that Teams call, Rachel had arranged an interview with client who we identified to tick all the boxes, both from an employer and employee perspective. Within 2 days from that interview, I received a formal offer from my new employer, which I was ecstatic about. I genuinely can’t believe how quick Rachel managed to turn things around, and her approach is so refreshing - it has removed my stigma surrounding recruiters. Thank you, Rachel. I can’t recommend you highly enough.

James Hughes – Senior Quantity Surveyor

Rachel found me the perfect role within a matter of weeks. She was professional, efficient and clearly has a decent construction client base to tailor any construction professional's individual needs. I would highly recommend contacting Rachel whether you're hiring, or seeking that next opportunity.
