​C.P, Area Manager
"Recently, I had the pleasure to work with Simon during a recruiting experience for a specialized leadership role in a new customer engagement model.. The new "disruptive" model requires unique talent and skills. Simon was excellent at procuring the right candidates by clearly understanding and articulating the job scopes for all levels of the new organization and effectively linking talent to these individual roles. His attention to screening while educating candidates, then aligning the best candidates to the right geographies was exceptional - what I would deem "top tier" execution that I have experienced in my ~20 years leading teams. Simon communicates extremely well; very efficient and effective; he is strategic in his approach; he spends a lot of time to getting to know the candidates. If you are challenged with a tough position to fill or looking for top talent to enhance your organization, I would highly recommend working with Simon."

R.A., Director Market Access

He not only cares about his corporate clients, but he also takes his relationships serious with potential candidates. He takes the time to really understand his candidates. He spends time reviewing resumes and makes recommendations for improvements, provides excellent preparation and coaching for interviews and does a great job matching skills with potential opportunities. He works relentlessly day and night and works with the highest ethics! Simon does a great job networking with top companies as well as top talent from across the country which gives him a diverse corporate and candidate pool. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone, corporate client or potential candidate."

T. M., Marketing Principal
"I worked with Simon on a leadership position for a company that was completely overhauling their commercial model. He helped me navigate the interview process in a way that I have never experienced from a recruiter. He was incredibly well informed about what the company was looking for and was able to answer all my questions. He offered invaluable advice about how to prepare and helped connect me with others that could provide a different perspective. Essentially, he made me feel like he really believed in me and insisted that I believe in myself as well. I enjoyed his respectful challenge and tenacity. He definitely has a gift for matching candidates with the right role. I ended up getting the job and have never been happier!"

I highly recommend working with Simon and his staff as both a hiring manager and a perspective job seeker."
