COST-EFFECTIVENESS

“Before starting with Digital Saints, we struggled as a growing startup. We were largely unsuccessful in filling vacancies. Tired of the flawed incentives of working with larger recruitment agencies, we hired Digital Saints on a contractual basis to fill a number of vacancies we had. Since starting, Digital Saints has transformed our success in hiring and, therefore, the landscape of the technical team. We are now able to fill our vacancies with truly the best people we could imagine. Their expertise in hiring is second to none”
