Reviews
Factory Supervisor placed with Water Treatment company
I would like to forward my outmost appreciation to Eileen and Elchemie for their professionalism and willingness to support their clients through the recruitment journey. I witnessed first hand working with Eileen, and how much of a professional and supportive agent she is. The feedback is on time, her attentiveness is great and her patience is good. She is the type of agent you would feel secure around in terms of securing a job post. If you want someone you can trust to negotiate, filing, support, career prospects and to also secure a bright future please venture with Elchemie. I ventured with Elieen and I have now secured a job suited to my experience. Thank you Elchemie and Eileen
Graduate Process Engineer placed with Water Treatment company
Elchemie consultant Eileen helped me to land an interview at Watercare Mining and less than 2 months later I was employed. Constant guidance, reassurance and light heartedness made the experience that much more memorable. I would recommend Elchemie and Eileen for any aspiring graduate (especially engineers) … you will not be disappointed.
