“I have worked with Amida for as long as I can remember, they
are my turn to recruitment consultant and are always the first to
respond to a request, invariably with candidates well suited to
the vacancy. Amida are different from most of their competitors
in that they listen carefully to the brief and consider company
culture before sending through details of candidates, as a
result I spend less time sifting through inappropriate CVs and
more time interviewing appropriate prospective employees.”
“Arup’s water team in South East Asia has worked closely with
Andy, Greg and the team to recruit key personnel for our
business. This process has been a successful and smooth process
because they have taken time to understand our business, team
and strategy for approaching the water business in the region.”
