    Working with Sophie at TRP Recruitment was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Sophie and the team at TRP took the time to deeply understand our brief and delivered a portfolio of exceptionally talented and experienced menswear designers, each bringing something unique to the table. The attention to detail, communication, and understanding of our brand needs were second to none and the flow from initial sourcing through to final hire was seamless and efficient, thanks to Sophie’s professionalism and support throughout.The designer we ultimately hired has made a significant impact on both my team and the wider company. Their expertise and fresh perspective has elevated our design process and helped push our creative direction forward in a meaningful way.Through this initial hire I believe we have made a longstanding partnership with TRP Recruitment and highly recommend them to any company looking to bring in top-tier creative talent.

    ​I can't thank Sophie enough for her support and guidance during my job search. After facing redundancy, I was feeling uncertain about my next steps, but she was incredibly positive and encouraging from the very beginning. Her expertise and understanding of the industry were evident, and she matched me with an amazing role as an Assistant Designer at a well-established brand. Throughout the process, she kept me informed and motivated, making what could have been a stressful experience so much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional recruitment agent!
