Once we engaged scaleXT, it was surprising that in no time, we had some really good candidates to consider and made the offer in a few weeks.

Thanks to the precision matching of scaleXT, it was a much faster, more cost-effective process to find and hire an excellent candidate for the business.

Add their service quality and focus, and you have a winning combination.

I would not hesitate to use scaleXT again; they will be my go-to people for hard-to-find skill-sets.
