"Got a text at 8am, had an interview booked by 10am, started the job the following Monday. Never found work that fast before. My Gas Safe cert was verified before the employer even called."

"I was sceptical — another jobs platform. But the difference is it actually knows what an electrician needs. I only got approached for roles I was qualified for. That's never happened before."
