        We worked with STEM Recruitment Partners in 2022 to help fill our requirement for new project engineers within the company. Their approach to understand our business needs was fantastic and coupled with her positive attitude they delivered some great candidates.

        Our aim was to fill one role but due to the high level of candidate’s provided we filled two engineer positions, and both are still with us today in late 2023 and proving to be an integral part of our company. We look forward to working with them again in the near future to assist us in the recruitment of critical engineering roles within the business.
