CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Woodies went through a period of growth and my HR team needed help screening applications coming from our job advertisements. Rent a Recruiter approached us and after a conversation to find out how they could add value, they ended up supporting us for 2 months and filled 40 store positions for us around Ireland. This was a huge help to my HR team and it allowed us to focus our time elsewhere. They were very efficient and got to grips with our systems very quickly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yala and we’ll certainly be reaching out to them again.”
