Feedback from agencies we've worked with

"Sarah made recruiting our next hire an absolute breeze. Before working with her, we had already been to market twice in search of an SEO Manager. We urgently needed someone in-house and were becoming increasingly frustrated with managing the process ourselves.

Sarah and her team stepped in and immediately turned things around. Within a week, we had a shortlist of high-quality candidates and were already conducting interviews. She handled all the negotiations and guided us through each step, which gave us complete confidence when it came to making an offer.

I would highly recommend Sarah’s services, she not only delivers results but makes the whole experience stress-free."

"Generally speaking, I don’t use recruiters, but having tried to recruit a web developer myself for a number of weeks with minimal success, Sarah and Smile came along at just the right time.

Within an hour I had a couple of really promising looking CVs of candidates who were all a really good match, on paper. Sarah had pre-qualified them all with a chat herself before asking me to speak with any of them and that really saved me a load of time and hassle.

I couldn’t recommend Sarah and Smile Digital Talent anymore than I do, which, coming from somebody who is generally not a fan of recruiters… says an awful lot. She listens, works hard, communicates with honesty and integrity, and takes all the pain out of the recruitment process. I wouldn’t use anyone else!"

"Sarah took the time to really understand what we were looking for, not just in terms of skills but also the kind of person who’d thrive in our culture. She communicated brilliantly with different members of our team throughout the process and even went above and beyond, offering resources on interview techniques which the team found invaluable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

I generally avoid recruiters (sorry Sarah!) because we haven't had great dealings in the past. But we've been struggling to hire over the past 12 months, so we asked various agencies we know for recommendations.

A number of them recommended Sarah, so we gave it a go and haven't looked back. She's been great! Not only have we found great new members of the team, but she's communicated everything so well at every stage.

Feedback from our amazing candidates

"Working with Sarah has been amazing. She took the time to understand what I wanted and where I'd fit. I ended up with a Junior AI Engineer role that fits perfectly around my uni schedule, so I get to start my career now and walk into full-time work the moment I graduate.

Throughout the whole process, Sarah was super supportive. She helped me prepare and made sure I always knew what was happening. It felt like someone was in my corner and rooting for me.

I'm genuinely grateful for her help. I'd 100% recommend Sarah and Smile Digital Talent to anyone over and over again."

Serhii

"I had the pleasure of working with Sarah during the recruitment process for a Commercial Director role, and I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism, communication, and dedication from start to finish.

Sarah took the time to understand both my experience and career aspirations, ensuring the role aligned with my goals. She kept me informed at every stage and provided thoughtful insights.

What stood out most was her proactive approach and genuine care - she wasn't just filling a vacancy; she was focused on finding the right fit for both sides.

It's rare to find someone with such a human approach, so I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed recruitment partner."
