De Lacy is the cream in recruitment
I have been engaged with De Lacy recruitment, in particular Lauren Holloway, for several years, which has always given me a rewarding experience. It is an organisation that specialises in agriculturally based opportunities, offering professional liaison between job seekers and employers. They are precise and exact in representing the employer and potential candidates in a professional manner, resulting in a rewarding experience for both. Their attention to the details allows an accurate job description, offering potential candidates a clear understanding of the requirements, ensuring alignment and an enhanced interview experience.
