Solid role at a well-known global recruitment firm supporting banking clients, though the role is for a staffing agency rather than the primary financial institution.

Micheal_Scott AMA
Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! Cheers!
