Candidate Testimonials
Sandra Sweetman
Permanent Placement
"I contacted Riada in relation to a position as a Manufacturing Quality Manager. I dealt with Luke through the process of application, understanding the requirements of the position and submitting my CV. There was excellent communication from start to finish. Luke provided opportunity to meet and discuss my requirements and to provide additional facts and information about the job and organisation. He was familiar with the employer and was able to answer any of questions regarding the job, culture, hierarchy etc. I received regular updates regarding the status of the application, as well as good interview advice. The level of professionalism was superb, proved by the phone calls and emails I received from Luke before and after my two interviews and just before starting my new role.
Overall it was a very efficient and professional service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Luke and the Riada organisation to those seeking full-time or part-time employment."
