Commenting on the achievement, Mike McDonagh, COO of Sigmar Recruitment said:“Our Life Sciences, Engineering and Technical team are a brilliant example of how specialist recruitment should be done.  They immerse themselves in the fields they recruit in which means they have a great understanding of where both their clients and candidates are coming from.  They can react quickly, manage processes carefully and to a successful conclusion and they can fill those hard-to-fill jobs where others can’t.  They also don’t give up, which I think gives them that last 1% you need. I’m immensely proud of the team and delighted they have received this recognition.” A huge well done also to our recruitment consultants Marcel Skolimowski and Fiona Joyce on being shortlisted for Permanent & Temporary Recruitment Consultant of the Year on the night also.
