"With perfect timing we, by chance, received an email from Lewis Wall – The Student Hand, offering a service we couldn’t ignore. We provided a job description, and within a matter of days we had four strong candidates to consider. Lewis provided all the relevant and important background detail making next steps easy. After a series of interviews we have made an appointment, and cannot be happier with the outcome and our new team member. This whole service was fast, exemplary and successful. After our experience I would thoroughly recommend Lewis and The Student Hand to other employers seeking new staff."
