This means that she is 100% bought in and understands our employer proposition/offering/USP - and can correctly explain to the right kind of candidates that want to be part of our vision & culture. Always quality over quantity."

Secondly, understanding the software industry in terms of development techniques... I have not spoken to a more informed recruiter than Gill and it is through this she is able to effectively match the right people with the right positions"
