Client Testimonial
"In our initial search for a recruitment partner, we looked for good communication, specialism in C++ software engineering and local knowledge/presence. Applause were by far the most proactive in engaging with us and had consultants focused on the type of roles we were recruiting for.
The communication was also great: we had weekly catchups with Alex, interviews were scheduled efficiently, and both we and the candidates were kept well informed."
