  • We’ve turned to Samuels Donegan’s ‘On Demand Talent’ service for temp HR support several times now, and they always offer talented candidates. Recently, we needed to fill a temp position and SD approached it with the same care and detail you’d expect for a permanent hire. Our most recent placement was such a great match, both in skills and culture, that we were so happy to offer them a permanent position. The team takes the time to understand what we need, and it shows in the candidates they offer and their placements.
