“BIE really took time to understand our business, our people and our ethos, so that they could present us with candidates they knew would fit and be key players in all that we aspire to attain.”
"I enjoyed working with Celine. She was able to translate a skill/experience need into a person. She has good judgement around the fit of an individual and I trust her to provide great candidates."
Christina Humphrey
HR Director at K3 Business Technology Group
"I’m constantly recommending BIE to both potential candidates and the companies I work for. BIE knows what’s best for me and what’s best for the clients. It’s a good fit!"
Teri Ellison, Chief Human Resources Officer
