Supply Chain manager, miXscience

"If I had to describe my recruitment process with Avril in two words, I'd say seamless and straightforward. Whether with Human Resources or my future managers, I was always given a particularly warm welcome and the conversations I had were friendly and constructive. At every step, I was told about the next steps and given quick, clear answers to my questions, either during or between interviews.
I especially enjoyed feeling that everyone really wanted to get to know me and appreciated how information was shared transparently, without any jargon, which gave me confidence and made me want to join a team that was obviously happy within Avril."
