I have worked with Talent Locker on a number of opportunities over many years and I can confidently say that my experience with them has been nothing short of excellent.
Talent Locker is just excellent. Outstanding, efficient, joined-up support across the whole team. Highly recommended!
I've been contracting through Talent Locker for nearly a year now. I've been a contractor for more than 10 years and have found Talent Locker to be one of the best agencies I have used. The payment terms are great and the agent responds quickly to any queries and messages. I definitely would recommend and reuse.
“Richard placed me in my current role and was incredibly supportive to me as a candidate. He has also placed some of my very senior positions, many of whom turned out to be long term contractors who are widely respected in the organisation. I have no hesitation in using Richard to fill my short term resourcing needs and to apply for work through Talent Locker.”
