What candidates and clients
say about Bluefin Resources
Big thanks to Tom who assisted with placing me with a manager and organisation that was in line with what I was looking for. Tom took the time to keep me informed and updated with the process. I’ve worked with numerous recruiters and can honestly say that Tom’s professionalism and support throughout the process was seamless. Would I recommend Tom’s services to a potential employer to engage in his unique skillset, absolutely – without hesitation. I have found myself also recommending Tom to potential candidates to contact him, which is a testament to the great experience I had with Tom. Great Job Tom! It’s a 10 out of 10 from me😁
