Very professional company. I have had the best experience working with Lauren Alsop, who has been dedicated and honest throughout the entire recruitment process. She was very thorough and helpful - not just during my interviewing process with my current employer, but she has also been very supportive after my employment. Definitely deserve a five star!! 🌟

Best recruitment experience ever! True professionals. I was contacted by Lauren for a job opportunity and she managed the whole recruitment process for me from A to Z. The support and information provided by Lauren was excellent. I would highly recommend Principal People to anyone.

Noah from Principal People was an absolute star. He hasn't been with the business long, but his overall attitude and communication are brilliant. He found me a new role very promptly, and was very professional during the whole process. I can't help but offer great feedback to his boss Zac as well. I would recommend Noah, Zac and Lauren for their services. That said I am sure this reflects back on PP as a whole and the professionalism and pride in what they do. Thank you so much guys!
