I made an enquiry with Building Environs about an advertised d and sent forward a letter and resume. They made contact within 24hours to talk about the position and shared further information about what the company was looking for. They were friendly, informed and genuinely interested in determining whether I would be a good fit for the company, and whether the role would be right for me. They were prompt in their response, and communicated well about the next steps in setting up an interview.

They were able to set this up relatively quickly with a company that was ready to hire and not waste anyone’s time interviewing people to maybe hire them if a project landed.
