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.”
