It was my first-hand experience working with the team at an Associate director level of hiring, and they ensured to give me a selection cum joiner in the first batch of Cvs. They have always ensured to submit the CVs on a timely basis with the SLA provided.

Keep working hard and best of luck to your future assignment team!
