Elaine placed me into a previous role in Qatar. Throughout the process I found Elaine to be very professional and always on hand to help with queries. Even though there was a lengthy delay in the process, on the employer side, Elaine was unfailingly positive and kept in touch until the end. I have, and will continue to, recommended Elaine to friends.
