As a strategic partner to our customers and candidates, it is only fitting that we help them save time and money by officially becoming certified, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to a strong culture of quality.”
Verity added, “We were keen from the start to ensure the ISO framework brought genuine value to our clients, rather than seeking accreditation for its own sake. Before presenting ourselves to the British Assessment Bureau, we put in hours of preparation, aligning internal policies and processes with ISO standards, training employees, and conducting internal audits.”
