We paid a lot of money for a job listing and got just one candidate applied in a month. Much better to go to some of the established job listing sites, as these guys bring nothing. They wouldn''t provide any data on website visitors or click throughs (probably because they don't have any). Such a waste of money. Avoid.

Much better agency's around. Extremely little to none in terms of opportunities with this agency and poor communication.
