I have used Amy at Douglas for a role last year and she was absolutely amazing, listening to what my vision was for my new role. She helped me secure the role without any hassle so when I was back on the market it was only fair for me to message Amy and as expected she communicated with me straight away and listened to what I wanted- really pleasant and polite to speak to! Could not recommend Amy enough to anyone!

Excellent service from the very start

I had a fantastic experience working with Francesca. From the outset, her service has been excellent — she is proactive, professional, and genuinely supportive. Communication has been outstanding throughout the process; any questions or queries I had were responded to immediately, and she consistently provided clear guidance and reassurance.

Francesca demonstrated a strong understanding of both the role and my career goals, and I felt fully supported at every stage. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a new opportunity.

Leah Ellson - highly recommended

My experience with Douglas Scott has been 10 out of 10.

Leah was a star, I really appreciated the time and support she gave.  I was impressed with how she understood me as a candidate and by her dedication in finding me the right role.  I was kept updated throughout and if I needed to reach out to Leah she was there.  I was in experienced hands as she had real flair in facilitating a smooth process which led to a successful outcome.  Leah was professional and friendly and is a real asset to the company. 

There was even communication from Jonathan Nolan - a personal touch by the company.

Great recruiters and a big thank you to Leah.
