    "I found the (workshop) really useful and that’s from someone who’s been selling RPO for ten years. I’ve learned a lot of new content. You’ve changed my views on many areas. But all in all, really useful. I think a lot of senior people in this business who would benefit significantly from listening, seeing, and having similar conversations.” Anthony Breen, Business Development Director - Solutions at global RPO provider

    "This was amazing. There was so much great information especially understanding different pricing models."

    "Presenter was very knowledgeable, spoke a great pace, really presented the data well."

    "[The workshop] Provided a solid base on what is RPO, what a client is seeking, introduced what you will need to deliver to meet client expectations and, how long it might take to launch an RPO business."
