"It was a pleasure to work with Erik during my recruitment. He is down-to-earth, knowledgeable and has a great insight into the industry, which was not only helpful throughout the process but also came across in his appreciation of my skill set and experience. This helped communicate my fit for the position with the organization, and ensure that the offered position responded to my career aspirations. Erik responded quickly to any questions and kept me informed throughout, from the very first contact to the signing of the offer letter".

“We liked the in-depth discussion about our needs and what we were looking for. Team, reports and clear insights were all very helpful. The shortlist exceeded our expectations, so we contracted two Business Development Managers and another candidate for another vacancy and were happy to develop a partnership agreement ”
