Longlist.io team has been a great support to us from the first day of the launch. They understood straight away what a newly formed recruitment business would need and helped me to set up my recruitment processes to create candidate and client leads

Our business has gone up a lot, and there are two reasons for that. One – the database that we wereable to build in quick succession allowed us to promptly reach out to candidates and clients. Second, I feel more confident that we have all the new technology for recruitment at our disposal. I could say we have seen more than a 20% increase without any additional overhead.
