Here's what our client said...

This is the first time I have worked with Adam and AR Resourcing, he was recommended due to placing other Heads of Procurement across the group. I was really pleased with how he managed the recruitment process and communicated with all parties, especially as we had a couple of unforeseen delays that needed to be professionally managed. Happy to work with Adam again.
