What Candidates Say

“My experience working with Listgrove was very professional. Ellie Guest was really listening to me. She of course understood my motivation, but more than that, she has a great empathy which helped her to determine if I could be the one matching the spirit of the company. I believe this is really important in this case as Lactips still has a start-up spirit.”
