Mila has been an incredibly engaged and helpful recruiter. She was with me every step of the way by helping me prepare for interviews, giving me all the essential details about the hiring company, being flexible as to when to schedule our calls even with my long working hours, and communicating with companies on my behalf. I am now working in an incredible workplace all thanks to her initiative to reach out to me.

I felt valued as a professional and as a person and received real support and preparation at each step of the process.

Mila has all the skills to ensure the right fit for the candidate, and the right employee for the hiring team.
