Testimonial
“We had the pleasure of partnering with MBA on an exciting opportunity to build a new operational team within Miami - a territory and location we had not reached out to before.
MBA approached the opportunity with a full commitment, and the team worked tirelessly in researching the market, pre-interviewing a significant number of candidates, and presenting only the best for the face-to-face interviews. The communication between both the candidates during the process and us was exceptional, ensuring the candidates retained interest even with the extended lead-in time. All the successful candidates commented on this.
The retention rate of successful individuals has also been second to none in a volatile and different market. This is down to the hard work and commitment of the MBA team from day one.”
