Operations
InterQuest comprises a number of specialised recruitment units which operate specifically in one market segment, be it in the public sector, or banking and finance, or in an area of technology such as testing, analytics or CRM. These are augmented by other companies specialising in services which span the various vertical niches - such as recruitment outsourcing or search and selection.
This gives us in-depth knowledge of the markets and challenges our clients face, and that's what sets us apart as a trusted source of specialist knowledge.
