Performance Summary
Recent Reviews
“Frank and fearless advice”
“I would not recommend Elias recruitment. I found the recruiter I dealt with recently completely lacking in principle and integrity, putting their own financial interest in wanting to earn their commission above that of both their employer client, and me as a candidate. In my experience both employers and candidates are likely to be poorly served by Elias recruitment.”
