Wandle engaged Ortolan People to design and deliver an assessment centre to support an organisational restructuring we were undertaking in early 2016. From the outset we were impressed by the intelligent and responsive approach Ortolan took to this assignment. They designed a bespoke set of exercises to address our specific requirements and put together all of the elements we needed to enable them to deliver the assessment centre exactly as Wandle required. Their team were professional, always helpful and extremely responsive and they integrated seamlessly with me and my colleagues. It was exactly what we had hoped for and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ortolan to anyone who needs this type of service. They know what they are doing and deliver at a price point which feels like real value for money.
