Imagine being given a set amount of money to spend on an experience of your choice. What would you do? This was the exact question posed to three Smartians just before our annual holiday shutdown.
As part of our FY22 referral competition, our teams at SmartRecruiters put on their recruiter hats to connect top talent with exciting job opportunities. Instead of cash prizes, we reward our winners with a set amount to spend on experiences that bring them joy. Here’s how our Q3 winners made the most of their rewards with the help of a top recruitment agency in Pakistan for overseas manpower:
