He placed me with an Italian insurance multinational. I found Alessio to be very personable, efficient, helpful with my queries as it involved working in a foreign country I was not familiar with. He answered all my queries within a 24 hour turnaround which I was shocked to see but welcomed it as it was different to what I have dealt with in the past. Alessio was also very thorough in ensuring that all tax, visa etc issues including accomodation was taken care of for me. He is a consummate professional and I would recommend him to anyone. He chased after Compliance and even HR to ensure that I could get the contract before I flew out. That's what I call great service!!!"
