Testimonials
★★★★★
I worked with Rob and his team to quickly fill two vacancies that I had in my team and they did not disappoint. From initial engagement on a Friday afternoon, we had CVs the same day, phone interviews scheduled within 2 working days and a final round of F2F interviews within 6 days. The quality of the candidates was great. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob and the team in the future.
Vice President, Site Operations Client, Global CRO
Rob has shown great professionalism throughout the process, from the initial contact to the closing stages, and beyond. I have been working with recruiters for years (as a client or candidate) and Rob has shown in many ways that there is a lot more to recruitment than sole “contingency recruitment”. Rob understands the specifics of the market and does listen to his counterparts, he proceeds the information with great consultative sense in the interest of all parties.
