See How We Helped Other Companies Recruit the Best Talent
Krome Technologies are a specialist technology
consultancy focused on implementing and
maintaining critical core infrastructure for our
clients, and with a growing demand to support
that for the Microsoft technology stack.
When Krome started looking for a Microsoft
Lync consultant it became obvious this would
be challenging due to the shortage of Lync
candidates in our region. From the very
beginning Nigel Frank stood out as an agency
with the right specialist knowledge in the
Microsoft UC space and access to the necessary
pool of Lync candidates that we weren’t seeing
from other agencies. The team were very helpful
and friendly and shortlisted candidates that
helped us better define what we needed for our
business.
