“Rebecca from Moxie and Mettle was fantastic to work with throughout our recent recruitment process. There was a lot of coordination involved with multiple interviews and moving parts, and she handled everything professionally, efficiently and always with a positive, friendly approach. Rebecca really understood our brief and ultimately placed a great candidate with us. A pleasure to work with – thank you!” Feb 2026
"Moxie & Mettle provided outstanding support to us when recruiting for our Digital Marketing role. Before we began advertising it was so useful to get an understanding of the local market from Liz, this helped inform how we positioned the role and I really think this helped us generate some really strong applicants. Throughout the process, we were always kept well informed, and any queries were responded to extremely quickly. Ultimately, we have appointed an outstanding candidate and as such, I would definitely use Moxie & Mettle again and would encourage others to do the same.”
"Moxie and mettle are awesome. The most contact I had was with Sophie who is so friendly and helpful. It was incredible to see how genuinely pleased she was when telling me about my job offer. It was a great experience from start to finish and I’m so pleased that with the help of the Moxie and Mettle team, I have found a job I love."
