I've nothing but good things to say about Carbon60. They've represented my interests superbly to secure my current role and have been very supportive since I've started the contract. The staff I've dealt with are polite, friendly, professional and have always 'gone the extra mile' for me. The on-boarding process was very well managed and I have always been paid on time and in full. I'd happily recommend Carbon60 to others based on my experience.
