My friend & old flatmate Eleanor runs Roome Consulting. Most of the digital agencies I've worked for in London only use her because she's a normal person and nice to talk too - not like most of the cold calling salesy types you normally find in the recruitment business...
Also I designed her site, so if you're looking for a job in digital, get over there and have a look »
