Candidate Experience


One of the candidates who was hired through Allium's virtual hiring team shared their experience:


"I can't say enough about Allium and my experience with Chris in finding a job. I was dealing with my team and myself being laid off, and Chris reached out to me purely by chance, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Now, I want to be clear; I NEVER used a recruiter before in my life. But I had a gut feeling that Chris (and Allium) was different. Not only was he genuinely concerned about the situation, he took the time to understand what my role was and what I was looking for. I was informed in EVERY step of the process, starting with how they work and do business and being checked in on at key moments during interview processes, etc. I even recommended them to my co-workers affected by layoffs and other friends looking for jobs."


This candidate's experience is a testament to the quality of Allium's virtual hiring team. They can provide a personalized and informative experience that helps candidates find the right job for them, which creates longevity for you!
