Anyone looking for a new career I would strongly recommend the services of Vitor Santos. He was very professional through the whole process of matching my skills set to a relevant employer. I can't thank him enough for his help!

Thank you for replying. I didn't gave any names, because I don't want the person responsible to be in trouble. I want to belive that I'm a bit better than him. He didn't really care to help someone else to find a proper job, but I don't want to be the reason of him losing his job, or being in trouble. Comparing the reviews with my experience, I'm a bit disappointed. Giving a full cv, and getting something totally different, wasn't nice.

Or he could give full informationabout the position, and wouldbe my choice to take it or not, not to go there and be completely surprised about what actually it is. At least he could call or email, but nothing, guessing he realised what he did, and didn't want to give any explanation for that. I left the review, so people gonna know what to expect, not to be disappointed like I was.

I've been helped by Vitor Santos and I couldn't be happier. He is so attentive and is always available when I email him or if I call and leave a message, he will call right back once he is free. He understands my employment requirements and has given me great advice. It's great that once you're suitable for a role, the interview is all set up for you. Takes a bit of the stress out of the process. I will recommend Vitor to anyone who needs to find employment. Great work thanks!
