    “Unlike some other recruitment agencies I’m always happy to hear from elite as they don’t put pressure on the company for sales but they do support us as and when their services are required. We know when dealing with elite that they will provide us with a small number of good, quality candidates rather than bombarding us with CV’s, most of which will not fit the spec required, as numerous other recruitment agencies do”
