We are excited at the prospect of having FastTrack join Access Recruitment and we look forward to working together towards our goal of giving our customers the freedom to do more and accelerating our vision to become the #1 global provider of recruitment technology. The FastTrack team’s expertise is unmatched in the APAC market and will certainly be a great fit alongside the Access Recruitment team.”
