Very good company. Zack your great and easy to talk to.
I highly recommend Zack. My experience with him from the very start has been fantastic. Zack is extremely professional and conscientious. Zack is also friendly and easy to get on with. I cannot thank him enough for supporting me to get my career moving forwards again after a long break. Thank you, Zack, I really do appreciate everything you have done.
Zack is an excellent professional recruiter who truly understands your requirements and doesn’t send irrelevant job opportunities. A friend passed on Zack’s number to me, and I explained that I was looking for a new challenge. Within a week, he presented me with two opportunities. I chose one, and Zack set up an interview with the client. He helped me with the interview preparation and supported me throughout the process. I secured the role, all thanks to Zack. I highly recommend Oscar Underhill Recruitment and especially Zack Ali.

I was contacted regarding an assignment by Zack who explained clearly who it was with and why I was a good fit for the role.

A smooth process all round and I would contact Zack when this assignment is coming to an end.

I would highly recommend if you were looking for a new role to approach Oscar Underhill agency for their help. Zack has been a pleasure to liase with from start to finish. He approached me in regard to my new role and in total turn around from interview to feedback registration and getting a start date has only been a few weeks. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again in tbe future. Communication has been second to none and following up on references nothing too much trouble.
Zack is an excellent recruiter. He initially contacted me about a role as a Housing Officer with an established housing provider. At the time, I was seeking my next career step, having previously worked as a Housing Assistant at Home Group. Zack discussed the role with me, supported my application, and maintained high-level communication so I always knew how my application was progressing. Thanks to his efforts, I secured the Housing Officer position. I can confidently say that Zack is my go-to for future opportunities.
Zack approached me about a role when I was in another post and not actively looking for opportunities. He discussed his vacancy, and I explained to him what I was ideally interested in. A few days later, he came back with a role that ticked all the boxes and piqued my interest. I have now started a brand-new role thanks to Zack. Not only is it a progressive step, but it also helps me expand my skills, all thanks to Zack’s market knowledge and understanding of candidate and client needs.
