Testimonial

“Matt and his team at Réncái are great business partners as we grow our global practice. They have taken the time to truly get to know our business, our culture and what we are trying to achieve and are actively pairing us with strong candidates whose skills, interests and behaviours match well with our needs.   

[vc_separator type=”transparent” position=”left” color=”” border_style=”dashed” width=”” thickness=”” up=”” down=””]

We certainly would not have been able to quadruple in size in 18 months without Réncái as our partner.

If I haven’t said it in a while…thanks!”
