Summit Africa’s been a valuable recruitment partner of Bidco Land O’Lakes Limited for a while now. Their understanding of the business needs and culture of the organization enables them to provide us with high calibre applicants. They have always remained professional, honest and reliable and I would not hesitate in recommending Summit Africa to other employers.
