MD CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
If you are looking for a highly professional, knowledgeable , well connected and caring recruitment organisation, you should turn immediately to Elchemie.
During my 30 odd years in the South African Chemical Distribution Industry, I have had the pleasure of working with Elchemie who have always been able to provide me with a short list of highly capable and experienced candidates.
The Elchemie team ensure that they understand the company culture along with the position requirements and duly ensure that you do not get flooded with a stream of candidates where 80% of them, do not fit the brief. The candidates that are sent are in 98% of cases exactly what the organization requires, which then leaves one with a tough decision as to whom best fits the role. This is however a great headache to have.
Their understanding and kind consideration regarding the mutually beneficial payment terms is always exemplary.
In summary, if you need competent personnel, look no further than this very well connected and professional organisation.
