Mark Levine at BCL was fantastic to work with. He always kept me up-to-date on the progress of my application, adopts a partner-style, collaborative approach and is straightforward and honest. Mark was excellent at reassuring me about the job's suitability and at boosting my confidence.

They were all excellent candidates and as I indicated to each of them at the beginning of their second interviews, if we had had three vacancies, all of them would have received offers.
