A key take-away from our Business Leader Stories series is that the pandemic has impacted no two recruitment businesses the same.

In our final instalment of the series, we’re joined by Sachin Ruparelia, the Chief Executive of Camino Partners, back-office to boardroom recruitment specialists for people-based service industries

Sachin kindly agreed to share with us what his experiences of running a business through lockdown have been, and what his variances of successful adaptation are.
