Our clients about GQ Interim

I’m currently running my first project with GQ. I feel very positive about its progress. The communication from GQ is not very frequent, but all requests that have arisen have always been resolved promptly. The client’s satisfaction with the services provided is another positive, which helps to build a good reputation for both me and GQ, so I have nothing to complain about regarding the overall cooperation.

Martin, Resident Quality Engineer, Faurecia

The project collaboration with GQ has been excellent, even though it was terminated early, at the client’s initiative. Communication with the company could be more frequent, but relevant information comes directly from the client, and any issues that arise are resolved professionally. The backing of a reputable company, the cordial contact with the company team and the overall friendly to family atmosphere is definitely a plus.

Michal, Project Manager, Matador Automotive

I rate the project I’m working on for GQ positively, from the scope of the work, to the execution of the tasks, as well as the overall cooperation with GQ interim. Communication is also a 10 out of 10, quick responses, competent answers and especially timely reimbursement of invoices. The only negative of the project is the commute, but I have agreed this myself 🙂

Pavol, Project Quality Development Engineer, ZKW Slovakia

My cooperation with GQ is extremely positive, the customer is satisfied and that is the essence of project success. The overall interaction with GQ is professional and factual, with frequency relative to the needs of the project, and the GQ team is also very helpful and responsive to any requests or problem situations. The biggest positive of the collaboration is that I got out of the employee sphere 🙂
