Anna is an amazing recruiter! I came to Anna to discuss a very specific career goal I have been seeking for a while! She managed to find me an exact match in terms of the field of knowledge and the type of role I wanted. During the whole recruitment process, Anna always responded almost immediately to my emails and provided very regular updates from the recruiter. It was definitely a great experience. THANK YOU!
