What Leading Enterprises Say About Near

Ashley Black

Ashley Black

Ex-Head of Sales @ Google | Founder at Candid Consulting

"

The talent Near provided is incredibly high quality. I worked at Google for 10 years, where the bar for talent is very high, and I would say the people I placed through Near are comparable to the people I worked with at Google.

"
Emily Hauber

Director of Communications at CITY | Clean and Simple

When we send a job to Near, it takes them about 2 weeks to find candidates and maybe another 2 weeks before the employee starts. They helped us find 2 candidates that took months to fill in the US, and they were GREAT hires.
