An excellent and effective recruitment company! They found me a role in a difficult COVID-19 time. Extremely helpful – very easy to talk to and professional. Kept me up to date at each stage of the recruitment process and sorted out any issues for me. Outstanding work!

After having our fingers burnt by previous recruiters we were apprehensive to work with one again. However, the personal service we received from Adria Solutions, showed a thorough understanding of what we were looking for, and our ethos. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Adria Solutions have been great throughout the process of finding my new role. Kept me informed with regular updates during the process and even out of hours (as agreed). One of the best recruiters I’ve dealt with.
