Tori is the best recruiter I have worked with. She responded to my application for a temp role in less than 24 hours despite large volume of applicants. I was then successfully placed in the role in less than a week of my 1st point of contact with her. Could not fault one bit of the process :) Thanks Tori you're a star!
