“Arran's level of communication, enthusiasm and transparency in the interview process was top-notch. He really is looking out for you, the human being, not just as another number. He wants to make sure there is mutual alignment and puts your needs/asks above else so that you only have to focus on the interview process. Even being located in different time zones to provide updates/feedback didn't stop him (I'm convinced he doesn't sleep!). He is a fantastic relationship-builder, an incredible help and has an immense amount of passion for what he does. Thank you, Arran!”
