“I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to Hamilton Recruitment. Not only have they secured me a dream job in Bermuda but they did it within 5 weeks of my application being sent in. To say I’m thrilled would be an understatement. I can’t wait to get on the Island. My only regret is that I didn’t do this earlier. Better late than never!”
