Don’t leave me Eileen🥹🥲
Starting this journey at the end of the year is bittersweet, bitter because I won’t be spending Christmas with my family but sweet because I met you and you have been such a blessing☺️ I can’t thank you enough Superstar, you have not only changed my life for the better but my whole family as well.
Can’t wait to meet you soon😉

Technical Specialist and Business Developer placed with a Multinational Technology company
Good day Susan,
I have been dealing with your company for the last few months as a job applicant.
I dealt mainly with Eileen, and I would like to tell you about my experience with her.
I have never dealt with anyone so dedicated to her clients.
Although I think that the hiring company is the main client of your company, Eileen never let me feel that. Her communication was so clear and she always kept me in the loop, even before I could think of asking for clarification. She really has made this process bearable for me. She even phoned me on the day she was moving to keep me updated on developments. I cannot sing her praises enough!
