Kavnish Gupta

Business Analyst

“I worked for Buxton Consulting as a full time employee for about 5 years between 2013 and 2018.  I worked on various managed projects, inhouse and at client end.  Buxton was very professional in all their dealings with the employee and clients.  The HR team and my Client Relations Manager, always had regular interactions and feedback sessions with me to discuss the project and personal goals. Buxton also handled my Visa and Immigration related work with thorough professionalism and I never had any issues with that. I would definitely recommend Buxton Consulting as an employer and also for short and long term managed projects.”

Vandit Garg

Sr. Engineering Manager

“I have worked with Buxton for several years, hiring engineers across numerous projects and skill sets that ranged from frontend to backend, Java to DotNet, and spanning various experience levels (junior, mid level as well as expert). During these years of engagement, my experience with Buxton, has been fantastic! Buxton team understands what hiring managers are looking for, and always has a rich talent pool that helps hire quickly. I find this very useful as time is often a huge factor distinguishing success from its opposite counterpart. Once the hiring part was done, my account manager was always engaged in getting periodic feedback, and ensuring that the team was always progressing forward. I strongly recommend Buxton to anyone looking to extend their core team with quality talent that delivers!”
