The University of Edinburgh
It's been a pleasure working with Instinct Resourcing during our recent VLE migration project. We reached out at a critical time for Edinburgh College of Art, as we were also undergoing a transition within our Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) team at the time and needed a highly skilled learning technologist. Instinct's selection process, was smooth and efficient, presenting us with a pool of qualified candidates. The individual we ultimately selected, proved to be a fantastic asset to our team throughout his contract. They brought a wealth of knowledge to the table and quickly became a valuable team member. Their expertise and collaborative spirit were instrumental in the successful completion of our VLE migration project. We are very grateful for Instinct's support in finding the perfect candidate for our needs
