5* for Jaime

I’m yet to start my role offered. However from initial contact Jaime has been friendly and informative.

The office was easy to find due to an informative email on how to get there and how to complete reference checks. Jaime was also accommodating regarding the interview time as I was working that day prior.

Having dealt with multiple agencies. My experience with Optime to date is a positive one.
