Director at Macro 4
I would highly recommend Ashdown Group for any IT hiring needs. In my experience, their recruiters have a good understanding of the job market at any given time and often provide valuable market insights I might not always be aware of. Excellent pre and post-hire communication. In general, profiles received from the recruiting teams are well matched to requirements.
