After experiencing work permit refusals and unsuccessful international hires that shook their confidence in global recruitment, Supermacs needed a reliable solution to support their ambitious expansion plans. By partnering with Recruitroo, they successfully hired multiple international business expansion managers with none of their previous complications, completely transforming their approach to international talent acquisition.
