They've placed me in various temporary assignments, and I've been consistently impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From the get-go, they understood my skills and preferences, and they've always matched me with assignments that suit me. Their communication is great, they pay me bang on time with no hiccups and they've always been there to support me.
