I have worked with Urban People for many years and have always found the team to be proactive, caring and professional. They put in the effort to match personalities and talents with the needs and the culture of Ed’s with a very high success rate. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have worked with Urban People for many years and have found them to be extremely efficient, friendly and professional. I am very impressed by the service they offer... They have taken the time to visit our operation so they can understand our business requirements and expectations. They focus on finding the right profile of person for the role and do not waste time forwarding candidates that do not suit our style of operation.

Jo’s passion is about people, Urban’s success is that they have the skill to really understand and support the candidate just as much as the client, which is some times forgotten within this business.
