Company Values “I feel Argand Associates have a different approach to most run of the mill agencies, their team of specialists not only knew the market, but understood my needs and requirements.” Principal Geophysicist, Norway

“As a senior engineer, I get regular calls from recruitment agents when new roles become available in the market that are usually unsuitable to my experience or career aspirations. However, what really impressed me about Argand’s approach was that they actually listened to what I wanted out of a move and only approached me with opportunities that ticked all the right boxes.”Principal Geophysicist, Norway
