Roman Czaus – Contract Manager, Papua New Guinea

They quickly source robust panels of candidates for all roles and for two senior management roles they received numerous applications and vetted the list of applicants in a way I have not seen previously from a recruitment company, making the process of short-listing candidates for interview simple and easy.

 

I would not hesitate to recommend the team at Vanguard International for their professional, friendly and timely service and attention to detail.

I was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism and excellent customer service during the course of their engagement. 

 

It can be a daunting process when recruiting for senior positions in any organisation but they made it look so easy.
