Highly recommend Cian. As a recruiter he listens to your wants/needs and gives you an honest evaluation of the pros/cons of the opportunity. It never felt like Cian was pushing or pressing but rather listening and advising along the way. It also helps that he’s very experienced in the warehouse automation field and can speak on a technical level.

Thank you to CrimsonXT Automation for all the support with my new position. When they first reached out to me, I was surprised for two reasons. 

First, my consultant had well-remembered my profile, despite having talked only one time a couple of months before. Second, despite me moving back to [another location] she still recognised I could serve as a good fit for this position. 

I was again very much surprised by her very proactive and fast approach throughout the whole follow-up process. We start work one hour before the UK, here in Amsterdam, but my consultant was often the first person to call/text me!
