Listen From Our Clients

Naomi was open to sharing market insights and example profiles before my headcount was approved, so I had a gauge on what relevant talent was available and to manage expectations. Upon approval there was seamless communication with the Talent Acquisition team, and she kept me updated on progress and on any updates from the candidates themselves. Her in-depth insights of the market, detailed feedback and updates on the finalists really made me feel the whole process was managed effectively and I can focus on my work.

– Head of Compliance, Commodities

With detailed profile notes and talent market feedback, I was able to get a good understanding of the profiles even before interview selection. Straight forward professional who accommodated for my not-so-straight forward needs.
