Client Testimonial
“As our staff numbers have grown over the years, we have relied on the team at Collins McNicholas to assist us in identifying new staff at all levels to work with us in Sligo Credit Union. We greatly value their participation in our recruitment process, identifying suitable candidates with talent right through to interviewing and training and most recently introducing the use of aptitude, skills based and psychometric testing into our recruitment and development processes. We specifically found the personality custom reports really added to the interview stage of the process. It has been extremely rewarding to be able to expand our workforce in Sligo from local talent and those wishing to work in the North West – we consider Collins McNicholas to be an integral part of this recruitment process who have always been a pleasure to engage with and with whom we look forward to working with in the future.”
