A fundamental philosophy of the Changeworknow approach is providing an outstanding candidate experience and we are delighted that we have been able to support ASK Italian with their award winning candidate experience.

Lisa Proctor, Chief Marketing Officer explains: “This is a fantastic achievement. We have worked with ASK Italian for 18 months and this award is in recognition of the great results that are being achieved. Attracting, engaging, selecting and securing people who are “stuffed full of the ASK factor” is critical so that the business can deliver their unique service proposition and business strategy. With many applicants being potential customers it is paramount that the whole candidate experience is first class regardless of the outcome for the candidate. ASK Italian have achieved this”

We are delighted that our work with Ask Italian has been recognised in these industry awards and well done to everyone involved!
