"Designshot offers a warm welcome and a fast, targeted approach but also relaxed but straight to the point interviews. We were able to find "The" designer as soon as the second profile was submitted. I liked the human approach to communication, the company's strong values, the refined processes, the real specialists! Competitors tend to be 'pushy', but here you can have an intelligent, human discussion, you know you're dealing with passionate people. "

"As far as your support for Dovetail is concerned, I found it to be top quality and we clearly feel more at ease today. You and I suffered from the instability of the team between the launch of the project and today, but in the end we've got something good. A good 4 out of 5 stars"
