“Sanctuary Graduates have been a pleasure to work with. They firstly put in the time and effort to understand our business and recruiting requirements, before effectively screening high quality candidates and facilitating our virtual assessment centres. We have received excellent feedback from our new graduate cohort regarding the support they provided throughout the interview process and we would highly recommend their service.”

Anthony Chen
Associate Director, Phi Partners
“I have enjoyed working with everyone from SG. From the moment I made contact until today, the care shown and the understanding of our business has been outstanding. The time that has been spent on understanding our company and roles has been brilliant and that has resulted in a smooth and efficient hiring process. Communications have been easy and effective, nothing is ever too much trouble for Sanctuary Grads and all the advice has been professional and knowledgeable. The candidates sent to us all met the brief, were of superb quality but amazingly, SG really understood our culture so the cultural fit was spot on. The fees for the service were incredibly competitive making it affordable for us to engage with SG. And I am glad we did, because we now have four fantastic capable grads that we are all enjoying working with and who have slotted right into the EV family!”
Heather Magee
HR Director, Evalue
“FutureProof’s mission is to help the best, most diverse talent build the technology of tomorrow. Sanctuary Graduates have collaborated with us since our inception, embedding themselves in our organisation at executive, strategic and operational levels in order to fully grasp and deliver on our mission. Together, we have faced off the many challenges as we have scaled up to start the careers of hundreds of graduates each year. We simply could not have done this without them. It is a partnership in the full sense of the word and they are key to us. They are very good at what they do but also humble and keen to improve. Like all relationships it has its ups and downs but importantly all our feedback has been listened to and acted upon and this has served to strengthen the relationship and our trust in Sanctuary.”
