At ARB 4X4 most of their permanent personal have come from SMS personnel. I have always been happy to recommend SMS personnel to other companies and Managers I meet with, such as the Operations Manager at Jardan Furniture.”
“My journey started with SMS personnel in December 2013. When I was looking for full time work I sent my resume in, than got the phone call for an interview. I landed a great opportunity for a foreman roll with Jardan Furniture. I have had the pleasure of an on going relationship with SMS personnel with there recommendation of many employees through labouring and skilled workers. Definitely recommend SMS personnel for those looking for work and businesses requiring staff.”
“I have been dealing with Faye and her team for a few years now and have always found them to be responsive, rather than reactive, to my business needs and its requirements. Whether it’s retail, clerical or warehousing staff you are after, we here at TWW Knoxfield and TWW Berwick believe that SMS personnel will have you covered for the part we all find hard in small business and that is choosing the right candidate to fit into the role you are trying to fill.
