We received an excellent response from the advert we placed on the SLA website. Our client has been extremely pleased with the calibre of candidates we put forward for interview, all of whom came to us via the SLA. We would recommend this service and would certainly use it again.

This is just a courtesy note to let you know that the Nationwide job vacancy currently advertised on The SLA website has now been filled. It is also a thank you note to say that one of the two positions was filled by a candidate that was alerted to the advert via your website. In total there were three candidates that applied after reading the advert on your website/email alert and they were all of a very high calibre – even more so when compared to the previous efforts to fill the vacancy!

We had a good response from the advert we placed on the SLA website and would recommend the service to others in the site location industry looking to recruit.”
