From initial enquiry all the way through to checking in afterwards for feedback, Figure Eight were engaged and absolutely diligent with my crew search. I was blown away by Helen's personal knowledge of the candidates, it was clear she'd taken time with their interviews and she was happy to talk me through their strengths and weaknesses openly. I've had a search for temporary crew treated as 'job too small' by other agencies in the past and simply been forwarded unvetted CV's. Figure Eight however understood my predicament, boiled down my hiring options and genuinely took the load off me in a tight spot. Thanks Figure Eight, I will certainly be returning for future hiring and hope to tap in all the other areas of the team's expertise
