"Working with Lauren Carter has been an absolute game-changer for AZS. From the moment we connected, Lauren demonstrated a deep understanding of our company's ethos, culture, and ambitions. She used that insight to introduce us to not only exceptional companies but also top-tier candidates whom we are positive will go on to thrive within AZS.

Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to matching the right people with the right opportunities have made her an invaluable part of our growth journey. Lauren doesn't just fill roles; she builds relationships. Every introduction she's facilitated has been thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with our values.

We've grown stronger as a business thanks to her dedication and instinct for finding talent that not only fits, but elevates our team. It's rare to find someone in recruitment who feels like an extension of your own company, but that's exactly what Lauren has become for us.

We can't recommend her highly enough, she's a true asset to anyone lucky enough to work with her."
