Jobtrain Solutions schools Nord Anglia Education PLC in the benefits of e-recruitment

Jobtrain outweighed its competitors in terms of cost, support, personalised training and its ability to be tailored to meet our exact requirements.

Our experience of Jobtrain so far has been excellent. The solution has greatly assisted with our recent recruitment campaign and has allowed us to focus more on selecting the right candidates rather than the administrative tasks usually associated with a large international campaign. The service we have received from the Jobtrain team has been outstanding, consistently exceeding our expectations in terms of service and professionalism.î
