Beeline Personnel provided us with an excellent service when we were looking for a senior member of our team. Their commitment to sourcing the right quality of candidate was borne out in the time they spent on site, making a short video about the role and meeting with our team.

It really felt like they understood our culture and therefore were able to provide with two high-quality candidates for the position. We will definitely be using them again as their approach was so much more innovative and effective than other agencies.
