Testimonials

“In an industry such as the tech one, where computers play a major role, it’s refreshing to account on a partner that is human, open, sensitive, and understandable as KWAN. We have a very good relationship, the communication and follow up work very well, which allows us to feel comfortable to talk about an issue before it turns into a problem. As a scrum master, I tell my team: waste my time so you don’t need to waste yours, and the same goes for KWAN, because they already shortlisted the candidates before sending me a CV, they get to waste theirs, so I don’t need to waste mine!“ Read more
