    April is traditionally one of the slowest months of the year because of the many Public Holidays and the decline in hiring activity after the new year rush. However, although we did see a decline in activity this April, it was not as pronounced as pre-COVID norms.

    Some of the roles that we successfully filled this month include;

    ✨ Marketing Lead – LMS provider
    ✨ 3 x ISRs – Legal tech
    ✨ Marketing Lead – Crypto Compliance Saas
    ✨ Affiliate Marketer – Crypto Compliance Saas
    ✨ Account Director – Adtech
    ✨ Senior SDR – IT / Cyber Security

    ✨ Mid-market AE – TMS provider
