Amazing recruiter and really on it!
Whenever Park Avenue have been approached to assist with recruitment, they take time to understand what attributes that the candidate must have, in order to provide the best interim support for my team. I have always been impressed by the knowledge of the consultants at Park Avenue. They understand the role of a town planner and subsequently, they take the time to understand the type of candidate that we are looking for. It is evident that the Park Avenue team have done their own due diligence on their candidates and have taken the time to understand the type of role that the candidates are looking for.
