Don’t take our word for it...

‘In the past I’ve been burned by recruiting agencies who waste my time with dozens of poor candidates and padded resumes. AllSquares are different – they take the time to understand your brief in detail, and only present you with top-quality candidates who genuinely suit the role and the company. After a few weeks and only a couple of interviews, we were able to hire a Developer who was a perfect cultural and technical fit – an amazing achievement given our unique stack and requirements.’

– Richard Harrison - CTO - Bueno Systems

‘AllSquares are part of a rare breed of recruitment firms that actually focus on people and how they fit together. The AllSquares Team very efficiently got the feel for the unique requirements of our team and presented candidates carefully and honestly – saving us a lot of time and enabling us to focus our time and attention on getting to know the right people (rather than screening, admin, logistics, etc). Meaningful feedback flew both ways, in a very timely fashion. We were meeting quality candidates in week one, and we closed this hiring round in record time. I'd recommend AllSquares to anyone looking to partner with a firm that is people-focused, efficient, and fun to work with.’

– Nathan McGinness - VP of Technology - Edrolo

‘We met the guys at AllSquares through our network and they came highly referred to us as a company that knew their stuff and ran a tight process. We used their services when we had to replace our Lead Developer, who was moving overseas. They quickly understood what we are about in terms of culture, shortlisted relevant profiles within a couple of weeks, and saved us a lot of time by only presenting relevant and quality candidates. They ran the whole process tightly but were never pushy and they were always available for us. We now have a Lead Developer that has already exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have found him without the help of AllSquares. We can’t recommend them enough!’

– Chris Duel - CEO & Co-founder - Elevio by DIXA

‘We’ve got incredibly ambitious goals for Kolmeo, and we knew from the outset we would need to recruit the kind of talent that rarely finds you through an ad on Seek or LinkedIn. Engaging the Team at AllSquares has proven to be one of the best decisions we made at the start of this process, because I don’t know that we would have found so many remarkable people in such a short period of time – or ever.  AllSquares has been pivotal in helping us refine and articulate our EVP and hone the way we sell our company’s vision and culture to make it more meaningful to the type of people we would need to help us achieve such lofty goals. All while supporting our People & Culture team, so that we retained some of that ability in-house too. ‘I am so proud of the calibre of people bringing Kolmeo to life, and I am enormously grateful to all of the Team at AllSquares for helping us get here.’

– Scott Bateman - CEO - Kolmeo
