We live inside the industry, not outside it, so we know everyone and everything that goes on. The buy outs, the mergers, the new sites, the fall outs, the make ups!
Our job is all about connecting people, so they can build better teams, better companies and in the end, sorry if this seems cheesy, but we do believe it.
You need to know who we are and the ethics that drive us to get out of bed every morning to recruit for you. So, we’ve included biographies that tell you a bit more about us outside of a LinkedIn profile.
