Wendy and the team at ELTA are the best in the business! 50% of our current construction staff are people that Wendy recruited for me. She spends enormous amounts of time making sure they are qualified and that they would be a great employee for Cityscape Residential. I am proud to know Wendy and I wouldn't use any other recruiter right now to staff our construction company.
