Testimonials
I can see clearly a very positive evolution in 2 years on the services and the reactivity of Airswift. Even if mistakes happen, my contact is still reactive to find solutions! I am very happy to deal with this agency
Airswift’s recruiters spend time understanding our needs and source candidates that fit our company culture. This is very important for me as a small business owner because if we make a wrong hiring choice, it might compromise the entire team.
It was a major challenge to transfer a large contractor population to a sole supplier, but the support and efficiency of Airswift throughout the process made the transition seamless. We continue to be impressed with the service level and attention to detail provided by Airswift.
