 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Katie helped me find my first role in 5+ years, I was so nervous but she guided me through the process in a professional and personable manner. I landed the first role I interviewed for as Katie was very particular in ensuring my experience aligned perfectly with the role I was going for. She was incredibly responsive, gave me feedback quickly after interviews and was always keen to hear how things went from me. She challenges all stereotypes of recruiters and I would 100% recommend Katie and Springboard Success to any events professional looking for their next role.

From day one, she was not just professional but genuinely caring and supportive. Elena took the time to understand my career goals and worked with me to polish my CV and prep for interviews. Her advice was spot-on and her encouragement kept me going even when I felt discouraged. Thanks to her, I’ve secured a fantastic new role. If you need someone who really cares about your success, Elena is the person to go to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elena and Katie are absolutely amazing at what they do! I interviewed for a job a few months ago and worked directly with Elena and she made the entire process feel less daunting. She would check in before my interview, calm my nerves and always make sure to get feedback to help me. I’m at my new job now and she still checks in to make sure I’m doing ok. By far the best recruitment team out there!

I couldn't be more grateful for all of her hard work in helping me start my career in events and I would (and have) highly recommend Springboard Success to everyone!
