Robert helped me secure my first job after graduating. He is extremely approachable and has a great relationship with the company I work in. I had never worked as a contractor before and knew very little about what was involved. Robert assisted me efficiently through the entire process and is always available to answer any questions that I had.

Katie has a broad knowledge of market trends. She has a great understanding of the demand for IT professionals with skills in the area of building data-driven decision-making technologies. Her experience allows her to give professional consultation on all areas of the tech industry. Katie has always been a great support to me throughout my career and I would highly recommend her.
~ Marcelo, AL.ML Consultant
In 2019, Berkley helped to secure a contract for me with AstraZeneca in Sweden. Nick and Aleksas were very helpful during the application process.
Nick in particular assisted with preparations for the interview and gave useful insights about the role itself and the company, AstraZeneca. Moving to a new country with work, for the first time, can be stressful as everything is new with many unknowns. In preparation I was put in contact with a colleague already placed on-site by Berkley – this was both very informative and did a lot to put me at ease and to focus on my new role. It also gave me a chance to gather some useful information about living in Sweden.
Once settled into my new job, Nick and Tony visited the site every so often to check-in and see how I was doing. This was different after the pandemic started with restricted travel, however, they continued to check-in using video calls, which was very appreciated. Sweden is a fantastic country to work in with an excellent work-life balance. My contract in AstraZeneca lasted over 9 months and I was sad when the time came to move on.
