What our Client thinks
Tracey Stanton
Operations Director, CRM Students
CRM Students 2023
"Since I started working with DiSRUPT in January 2024, I have been impressed with their responsiveness, efficiency, and ability to source great people. The recruitment process has been seamless, which in turn has meant my operations team has been able to focus on the day job instead of constant recruitment tasks. The whole team at DiSRUPT cannot do enough to help support me and my team. I would recommend their services to everyone."
