We filled a senior and niche role through Richard recently. I found his approach to be very quality-focused, each candidate felt hand-picked and was presented with an overview written specifically for our context. This was certainly a cut above the scatter-gun approach I'd seen from some other agents.
Thank you for your help in this process and the pace in which you worked with us! We appreciated your diligent way of working on this AI Engineer hire, and I particularly liked your screening notes. The selected candidate came with glowing references.
