CheckMark was founded in 1996 with the aim of building a bridge between talented professionals and innovative companies in food, chemistry and life sciences. What started as a small team has grown into a leading recruitment agency with a broad network and profound knowledge of the sectors in which we operate.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]\r\n
