"We chose to work with Collingwood Search and Selection to help us complete our first ever round of recruitment. After interviewing 6 recruitment companies we chose to work with Collingwood Search and Selection because we felt that Doug's industry knowledge and understanding of our business needs was second to none. From the outset Collingwood have provided an outstanding service in which three extremely high calibre candidates were identified for short list, and two of whom now work for Optimumfx. Throughout the process Doug kept us fully up to date and informed on progress versus our deadlines. We will most certainly be giving Doug a call when we next look to grow our business"
