12. “Hydrogen has been helping us hire contract and permanent staff since 2013.
In the past, I have used many staffing agencies but after a bad experience with
another firm decided to place all our needs with Hydrogen. The process from
identification of suitable candidates, through interviews, reference checks and
negotiation to final selection is always thorough and efficient. The team are
extremely knowledgeable; they make sure to understand my needs and
maintain constant communication. No matter the time, I am always able to
check in to provide feedback. Personally, I would not consider using any other
company for my hiring needs.”

bring quality candidates for all of our open positions. They have a very good
understanding of the space and ‘cultural fit’ we’re looking for. I do not need to
cycle through resumes or introductory calls to weed out the lesser qualified
candidates – they make it easy for us and their hit rate is phenomenal!”
