Well done to Public Sector Resourcing for bringing on Amiqus. It’s the best onboarding platform I’ve come across as a contractor, and my experience has been seamless. As a designer, I’ve found the UI and UX amazing. I was asked for feedback today and I couldn’t think of anything for the section asking me, “anything else?”
