Testimonial

"Just a quick word about Big 'I' Hires.... I started using it 1 week ago to fill an entry-level position. We have had 350+ people apply. The assessments it does are invaluable and have greatly reduced time the HR Consultant has to spend sorting. I told her exactly which profile I know I need for this position. It is an excellent tool and platform. I did the bottom level pricing. Serious bargain!"
