"We are extremely pleased with McRoberts. They are going above and beyond to understand our recruitment needs and to align candidates perfectly with our expectations. From their weekly stats and meetings with Joe, their professionalism, promptness, and attention to detail have been evident throughout the digital recruitment campaign they are doing for us. We do feel valued as a client. Moreover, even though we started with McRoberts 3 months later than with other recruitment sources, we have hired more Drivers sent to us by McRoberts than any other recruitment boards combined. Definitely, we will keep working with McRoberts in our future recruitment campaigns. Well done Joe and team!"
