Reflecting on our experience, we would definitely use the SWAP programme again. It’s a fantastic way to bring in people for assessments, with the recruitment side already taken care of. We know every candidate meets the right standard because they’ve completed the programme and understand what to expect. It makes the whole process much smoother for us — and we get great people at the end of it.”
