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!”
Saigeetha Govi
VP of Engineering
“Working with Buxton was awesome, recruiters were very attentive to the needs of my team. They listened and changed the strategy for screening candidates based on my team’s needs. They were very flexible in terms of the contract given Spigit was a very small company. I would love to utilize their services again in the future.”
