Testimonials

“José led an assessment process at Quooker, during which I observed his unwavering dedication and professionalism. However, his social skills are what truly set him apart. He really cares about his placements in such a way that you cannot help but feel that the fit was just perfect. This contributes significantly to his success in handling unconventional assessment projects that demand much more than an impressive resume and scripted conversations. The entire process was remarkably transparent, reflecting José’s honesty and integrity. He also does an extensive follow-up, well beyond the candidate's placement, ensuring continued satisfaction and success. I highly recommend José's services to any company seeking the ideal fit for their team.”
Bruno Teixeira, Country Manager, Quooker Portugal
