Building development teams

At a renowned Investment Management Company, Harvey Nash Financial Services built out their development team delivering primarily Java candidates with ranging levels of experience and specific but diverse skill sets.

"I have been working with the team at Harvey Nash for two years now and they have always been exceptionally professional, insightful and communicative. They are my go-to supplier for general contractor or market queries and I have always found them to be super responsive, and patient when I need further clarification on certain items. I have worked with a number of people in the team, and they all have the same keen and helpful attitude to the work – which is super!"
