Testimonials

We have been using Globedesk's help for the past 6 months and it has been life changing! We’ve had new hires and are recruiting a third one. It’s been so easy and efficient to hire through them and so far the results are great! The talent in Colombia is amazing. We plan to continue using their services as we see our company growing.

We have been working with Globedesk for approx. 2 years, and it has been nothing but brilliant! Sara is not only quick to respond but also precis when finding candidates to us. She and Globedesk are very professional with everything they do, from finding candidates to arrange the migration process and so on. We are looking forward to many more recruitments from Globedesk in years to come!

I had the pleasure to work with Sara in a dynamic environment where she delivered beyond expectations. What I appreciated the most is her adaptable and professional approach and providing enjoyable collaboration.

We got fast response on our request and great candidates for relocation. A couple of weeks after decision we had our new employee on site.

I've really enjoyed working with Globedesk. They patiently educated me on the requirements inside Colombia and then set us up so that we could hire in a legally compliant way. They are great partners who aim to protect us and the Colombian staff we've hired through them. We are looking forward to keeping our long-term relationship with Globedesk.
