ARL were my first experience working for a recruitment agency and it couldn’t have gone better. I had a very long time out of employment and ARL (especially Michelle) made the transition back to work as easy as it possibly can be. Onboarding was quick and simple and I felt like they had my back throughout. Michelle was very professional, supportive and personable. I couldn’t have asked for more. Payment was spot on and on time. And to top it all, I was offered a permanent position where I was placed! Thanks Michelle and the whole team at ARL for all your help and support! Oren
