Testimonials 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.

– VP of Legal, Compliance, Operations, Semicon

Although the process took 4 months in the end, Naomi kindly kept the candidates warm, engaged and ensured that the role was packaged to the candidates in a holistic way. Its not easy to find a good mid-level lawyer who fits the bill technically and from a team culture perspective. Thanks for your dedication and commitment to getting a great candidate on board!
