I would just like to thank Saorla for everything! From the first day of submitting my CV to the agency Saorla made contact straight away to chat with me to get a sense of exactly what career I was looking to branch into. Every vacancy that she put forward to me was exactly what I had in mind; it was like she picked up straight away from our initial chat, as you would say “She hit the nail on the head”! After two short months I was starting in my new role which I love! From start to finish the professionalism, the contact, the efficiency and follow ups can only be rated 10/10!! She even called in to visit me in my new job 5 months into my new role to see how I was settling in, no other recruitment agency that I have ever worked with have had interest in their clients like Saorla. Again, Saorla I cannot thank you enough for making everything so easy and speedy!

“Group Marketing Manager - Hospitality”
When I started looking for a new job, Saorla from the OCS Recruitment, found me on LinkedIn. She sent me a message asking if she could contact me, I said yes, and we had a brief conversation over the phone, she was very nice and attentive. At the time I didn't think she was going to contact me soon about any job opportunities, however within a week later she called me with an amazing opportunity and booked the interview. Her support to book the interview was necessary, as I was working, and I wasn't fully available. Thankfully, I got the job, and she kept checking with me, and following up until nowadays!

Firstly I would like to thank you Don for reaching out to me regarding the job opportunity, which gladly I am now contracted on a permanent basis. Don came across very nice and attentive from our very first chat, actually he managed to get me a chat booked with the company minutes after we hang up on our first call. From then onwards I knew I could rely on Don to act on my behalf in sorting out all the interviews and paperwork between myself and the company. This obviously helped in maintaining my confidence that I was putting myself forward in the best possible position as I was being represented adequately. Don has been a massive help in checking in, and ensuring that the company was also providing feedback between interviews and how things were proceeding. All in all, this experience could not have been better in any possible way. I have started my role, and it’s been a very good transition and settling in well. Once again thank you Don.
