Our Clients

What our clients say about us

"I recently worked with YoVa on a very challenging project for Malaysia. They were responsive and willing to take on a lot of challenges that other recruiters had declined. The project was managed very smoothly and the quality of output was better than I had expected. Also, YoVa took on another market and co-ordinated the Philippines leg of the project. Again, they took on last minute requests and delivered very well. I look forward to another opportunity to work with them. I would also recommend YoVa to others who need project management and field work in Malaysia (or elsewhere in the region)."
