Most professional recruiting service out there. I have to thank Maxwell for guiding me through all the steps. He is amazing. Every communication had good energy and he came very prepared. If for some reason I need to start looking for a new job again, he is the first one I will ask for help.

Calvin is an exceptional recruiter working at Init8. He found my last contract and also provided me excellent recruiting services. He has gone above and beyond his duties as a recruiting professional to ensure that the client engagement and placement goes smoothly, bearing in mind that we started our negotiation at the very beginning of the lock-down. He is persuasive, patient, supportive and has proven himself skilled in the art of negotiation. I am grateful for the work Calvin has done to ensure that my assignment goes smoothly. As an example, he managed to allow me work from Spain, instead

I had the pleasure of engaging with Stephen from Initi8 when applying for a new role. He was very informative and his advice on how to approach the interviews was brilliant. He helped me find a new job in possibly one of the most difficult times to find work and I am extremely grateful for his help. His down to earth approach was certainly appreciated by me and I would certainly recommend Initi8 for anyone looking for a personal touch in finding a new job.

One the best agencies I have dealt with; decent, organised, committed and supportive individuals know how to maintain delicate balance between professionalism and personally tailored approach towards recruitment. Their effective communication and proactive approach make the recruitment process happens smoothly, highlighting a bold distinction between them and your typical recruitment agency.
