Edinburgh IT recruiter receives monks' blessing as it expands Thai office
Cathcart Associates has relocated to an office four times bigger than its previous premises in the Thai capital, where headcount has doubled in the last year and two further hires are expected this summer.
Turnover has also increased twofold in the last 12 months, as the division placed specialist tech candidates at more than 50 companies.
