QCS Staffing have been great at fully getting to know our business and understanding what we are looking for, not just in the vacancy but also in the type of person that would suit the business. Their knowledge of the technology industry is fantastic and they are more than happy to reject a vacancy if they feel it is not their specialism to ensure that we don’t waste anyone’s time. It has enabled us to recruit some fantastic employees and continue to grow the relationship between our business and QCS Staffing.
We found QCS a refreshing change from the norm, offering invaluable support throughout any hiring process. Most importantly a strong network within the data centre world meant they were able to find us some top talent! Would thoroughly recommend QCS to anyone looking to change and simplify the way they recruit talent!
