Another Success Story - Qamber Ali

The vision of BrightSpyre is to provide sustainable employment opportunities for people in the Pakistan, who face certain employment challenges while seeking for a job, whether they are fresh or experienced professionals. Read another success story of BrightSpyre in higher level management.

-------------------------
I have been very pleased with the standard of services BrightSpyre have provided during the process of hiring with highly professional and skilled team. Though I belong to the technical field and its very hard to find out such career oriented jobs in most of the available job portals in Pakistan, but BrightSpyre has done a great entrepreneurial effort in terms of providing me a platform to get my field related and career enhancing position. Now I am part of Zoomio International as "Director of Development".

One of the most impressive thing that I came across was BrightSpyre constant communication and keeping me in loop from the initial phase of interview till the final selection. I would say that BrightSpyre is one of the best place to find middle management to higher level positions among all Pakistan job portals. Also I would like recommend BrightSpyre to anyone looking for a job in technology sector and also in other areas.

Its really Appreciated and thanks again for the great service !!

BrightSpyre Testimonials:
We have received great appreciation from many of you and realize that others would also like to see and hear that people really do get hired and that BrightSpyre is part of that success. We will include few success stories in our BrightSpyre Testimonial Section.

-------------------------
I have done my bachelors in Computer Sciences from Comsats Islamabad in year 2006 and soon after my graduation i started looking for a job in order to start my professional career. Though i have registered myself with several job portals and received hundreds of job alerts too but i was never considered for a single interview or shortlisted. Than i registered BrightSpyre after the recommendation of my friend which later prove a right decision and now i am a happy Employee at Cybernet and working there as " Corporate Support Engineer"

I would like to mention here that without the assistance of BrightSpyre it would not have been so easy to find a dream job where you can enhance your abilities and skills. So I congratulate BrightSpyre team for helping me out in finding a job and making it a success for me.

My heartiest & Warmest wishes to BrightSpyre team, especially HR department.

Keep doing the good work!
