The reference check is an important part of the hiring person to do due diligence before making a job offer.

The OK-person means the candidate is predictable [...]
That’s the advice I would give; get used to the New Zealand work environment. No matter which country you’re from, programmers all speak the same language.

Here at Industry Connect, we are fully aware that the [...]
Jigs always wanted to become an automation test analyst, but like so many others straight out of University, found it hard to get a job. Luckily he found us instead. Now he’s a working as an automation test analyst at Foster Moore, and before he took off on his new career he got dressed up [...]

We like to target recent graduates who can’t get a job, people who have taken a gap year, and developers who want to change direction with their IT [...]
I’m very good at coding, but I’m a very shy person. Here I learned confidence. If you’re out there looking for a frontend developer job, you might be having a hard time getting interviews.
