I thank you for your participation and dedication to put so many employment professionals in contact with local businesses that are looking to hire new staff.”
“This was an excellent opportunity for Bermudian corporate professionals seeking employment opportunities to reach a large number of local recruiters and demonstrate the value they bring.”
