I was looking for work in the construction industry and upon submitting my resume and qualifications to lead group Jane contacted me almost immediately after , within 1 week of interaction with Jane she had me do an interview and bam ! I was already employed full time permanent with a medical construction company . I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience with a job agency as much as I have with leadgroup and in particular Jane . Most importantly the company they connected me with is exactly what I was looking for . The service and communications were outstanding and definitely recommend everyone to use Leadgroup. 5 stars !!!
