"The DMC Group conducted outstanding recruitment campaigns for both Timberland and Caterpillar footwear. This resulted in very high calibre talent being recruited in line with both brands strategic requirements and cultures.
DMC’s thorough recruitment process included early stage face to face meetings with candidates and managing two way feedback. It also involved candidate mentoring during the recruitment process leading to an established shortlist of qualified candidates who aligned well with each brand's DNA.
I highly recommend DMC as an experienced, hands-on and diligent recruitment partner. They take time to fully understand the recruitment requirements and culture, as well as the candidates aspirations and potential fit".
