Blue Pelican was a fantastic help when acting on my behalf. They gave honest, helpful advice and kept me informed throughout the process. Next time I apply for job (which will be a while off as I love my current role!) or need to recruit someone, I would not hesitate to use Blue Pelican's services again.
