WHY MERJE?

WE KNOW OUR STUFF

The economy is constantly in flux. Just when we thought we were recovering from the 2008 financial crash, a pandemic comes along and wreaks havoc on our lives. These events make it all the more evident that businesses need competent Risk Management procedures in place to foresee, prepare for, avoid and recuperate from the ups and downs of the financial market.

Thankfully, our Risk Management recruitment experts have all the knowledge, tools and techniques required to pair candidates and clients perfectly together.

Paul Sherlock was excellent. He quickly understood the brief and supplied a selection of candidates from which we succeeded in making an appointment. This person has been in role for seven months and is an excellent fit.

MERJE is always my preferred choice for risk and compliance recruitment. The breadth of knowledge of candidates is second to none, but most importantly, as they have built a relationship and understanding of me, my team and my way of working over the the long term, MERJE always present me with a choice of people who can genuinely do the role and will be a great cultural fit for my team and organisation. Incredibly easy to work with, clear communicators, they do what they say they will, by when they say they will - making recruitment as smooth as it can possibly be.
