Success story
Scaling IT at the speed of growth.
How Northern Star helped Meet Recruitment expand from a fast-growing life-sciences recruitment business into an international operation supporting more than 250 users.
The Story
Growth created a new IT challenge.
Meet Recruitment quickly established itself as one of the very best recruitment agencies working in the life sciences industry. Their challenge was to manage their rapidly growing IT infrastructure as they took on more people across new sites and locations.
Northern Star started working with them in 2016 and helped them expand across territories with a combination of all our MSP products. They have now expanded to more than 250 users and are still growing steadily.
