“We found them to be tireless in their support of our needs ... helpful, efficient and open-minded with a can-do attitude. From supporting us in finding the talent pool, to providing space solutions, sourcing accommodation for staff etc. we found working with them to be a great experience. We hope any other company will consider Sneem as a viable location to find talented staff and a supportive committee to assist with this task
