Client testimonials

"Admittedly, I was initially quite skeptical about whether it could work with the differences in time zones, different culture, and using English as the primary language.  Five years later, our NFQ Vietnam (now Gradion) colleagues have become indispensable. Thanks to NFQ Vietnam (now Gradion), we were able to expand our team flexibly and integrate it as a permanent part of our company.  

Among the positives; we discovered other cultures, and by using English as our working language, we were able to recruit new employees across Europe. The NFQ Vietnam (now Gradion) team, with their decades of experience in building international teams, helped us benefit on all levels. And all of this with a service that feels almost like family."
