We have been extremely satisfied with the services provided by Oli. From the very beginning, Oli displayed remarkable dedication and professionalism, ensuring that our candidate search process was both active and efficient. His availability was impressive—remaining highly responsive even while he was on PTO and during our own time off, which kept the momentum going strong. Oli consistently presented us with a diverse pool of qualified candidates, often more than we could review in a timely manner, which speaks to his commitment to finding the right fit. His handling of candidate interactions and negotiations was smooth and expedited, making the entire hiring process hassle-free. Thanks to Oli's diligent efforts, our newly hired DevOps has been successfully onboarded and is already making a positive impact. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Oli and the agency for their outstanding service.
