Our client is a well-established professional services firm with 25+ employees. They have a dynamic and fast-paced work environment with a high-energy and team-oriented culture. Stable organization with low attrition; many people have been with the organization for many years.

What- the Role:

Our client seeking a new Receptionist who will manage a busy switchboard with around 25 lines. Answering around 20 to 40 phone calls an hour.
