    I’ve been working with Ben Galyas at Media Contacts for just over a year now, and I am impressed with his professionalism, understanding of our market and preferred candidate, and flexibility when we change our requirements.

    I have worked with Ben over a significant period of time, in which he has given me great guidance and insight into roles, with a great understanding of my needs and motivations. He is incredibly diligent and personable, and has worked hard to place me in my ideal role, in a company that I would not have been able to find independently. I would very much recommend Ben to anyone looking for work in B2B media. Thank you Ben for being so patient and understanding throughout, and giving me opportunities that I never would have thought possible.

    Maz has been absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. She managed to help me secure a position for a role that is exactly what I’m looking for. Maz has remained helpful and professional throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone looking for a job.

    Krithi BhandariAccount Manager, Investis Digital
    “

    Maz is an excellent recruiter who helped me find exactly the role I was looking for within a month. She made a big effort to thoroughly understand my needs/wants and previous experience, making the process easy and rewarding. Maz was there to encourage, reassure and provide advice through each stage.

    Rafaella QuintonAssociate Consultant, Blue Latitude Health
    “

    Recruiters often get a bad name and a bad reputation, Maz is everything that stereotype isn’t! By far the best I have ever come across. Her interpersonal skills are second to none and she made me feel like she genuinely cared about my career and what I wanted to do, so much so, nearly two years since we first met and she is the only recruiter I want to have anything to do with. I can’t speak highly enough of her and count yourself lucky if you get Maz as your recruiter!
