I had an excellent experience working with Toby throughout my recruitment process with Syenta. From our very first conversation, he was professional, transparent, responsive, and genuinely supportive.
What I particularly appreciated was Toby's ability to understand my experience and career aspirations and work closely with both me and Syenta to identify a role that was the right fit. He kept me well informed throughout the interview process, provided useful guidance at every stage, and maintained clear and open communication.
Toby made what could have been a complex international recruitment process feel smooth and well managed. I really appreciate his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about finding the right match for both the candidate and the company.
Thank you, Toby, for all your support throughout the journey!

Toby was great to chat with today. Much better than so many agents that I have spoken with in the past. I expected simple questions but Toby challenged me on a number of points relating to my CV, my skillsets, and my intentions. Excellent job.

I recently partnered with Michelle on a senior engagement and can confidently say it was a fantastic experience from end to end. From the outset, we were able to navigate the process in true partnership, working collaboratively through every stage to achieve a strong outcome.
From the very first candidate Michelle presented, she confidently stated that they were “our person” — and she was absolutely right. She understood the brief immediately and delivered exactly what we were looking for.
Throughout the process, we encountered several internal hurdles, all of which Michelle managed seamlessly without losing momentum or impacting the candidate experience. Her communication skills, attention to detail, and genuine subject matter expertise were evident at every stage.
Recruitment, particularly for highly complex senior roles, does not often feel easy. However, Michelle made the entire process feel simple and was consistently willing to go above and beyond to ensure a successful outcome.
Thank you again, Michelle, for securing exactly the right person for our team.

I can't speak highly enough of Megan during this process. She was highly communicative, balanced advocacy for both me and the client, and was trustworthy and objective when I had an alternate offer outside of her process. She built a lot of trust that gave me confidence in accepting the offer I received, and total confidence to work with her again - both as a client and a candidate.

Michelle was instrumental in helping me secure the Director of Data & Analytics role at Lyka. What stood out most throughout the process was her transparency and genuine care. She made sure I had a clear understanding of the role, the expectations, and the company at every stage. There were no surprises, just well-informed decisions.
Michelle went above and beyond in preparing me for each interview round, providing thoughtful guidance, context on stakeholders, and practical advice that made a real difference. Her approach felt highly personalised, and it was clear she was invested not just in placing a candidate, but in setting both sides up for long-term success.
I'd highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a recruiter who is honest, supportive, and truly committed to getting the best outcome for everyone involved.

This was my first time partnering with Ruby and Dani, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. We engaged them on a role we had been struggling to fill for several months, and with their support we were able to secure a hire within four weeks.
What really stood out was their consultative approach. They took the time to understand our business, bring our EVP to market, and pinpoint both the technical capabilities and soft skills required for success in the role. They were also highly proactive in engaging with the market.
Throughout the process, they provided regular updates, detailed candidate profiles, and valuable market insights. This thorough and structured approach resulted in them identifying the right candidate within their initial shortlist.
Thank you again for your support!

Tania guided me through the experience in landing a new role effortlessly. I appreciated her professionalism, feedback and availability in responding my communication but also her professional opinion and the genuine interest in the wellbeing of someone, in landing a matching role to thrive in. Tania is truly passionate about her job and role, and in my opinion, goes above and beyond in ensuring her clients success. I will def. stay connected to her and employ her again in future.

I would like to thank Michelle for everything she did throughout this process. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported by keeping me in the loop every step of the way, and I always knew where things stood. It also meant a lot how she helped me prepare for each interview. That extra care and guidance made such a difference to how I showed up.
I'm happy it all worked out, and honestly, I think it only when that smoothly because of her.
Michelle is not only a great recruiter, but also just a genuinely kind person to work with and I hope our paths cross again.
Warm regards,
João

Ruby is phenomenal. I've thoroughly enjoyed engaging with her. She is polite, responsive and sharp. She's stayed relevant and informative throughout the application process and also highly responsive which is excellent.
I think she's serving both me (the candidate) by being informative and responsive, as well as the hiring organisation by ensuring I understand the context and the role I've applied for more clearly. She did quite a bit of grooming early on to make sure I would be a fit candidate to present. She was a lot more specific and relevant with her questions and grooming than I've experienced with other head-hunters.
Well done to her.

Sean was upfront about the roles he presented, ensuring they aligned well with my skills and experience. He provided multiple opportunities that could be a good fit, and was transparent about salary ranges from the outset. I also appreciated the level of detail he shared about each role and the companies, which helped me better understand what to expect.
Additionally, Sean went the extra mile by spotting a typo on my resume and advising me to correct it before submitting. This was very helpful not only for the current applications but also for future opportunities.

I've been working with Toby for over a year now, and what strikes me most is how well he takes the time to truly understand who you are as a professional, not just your CV. Over time, he built a genuine understanding of my profile, which meant he only came to me with opportunities that actually made sense for my career.
When he approached me with my most recent role, a lead position at a startup, Toby was a real partner throughout the whole process: open in his communication, thoughtful in his approach, and always willing to think things through together rather than just push the process forward. He expertly navigated the conversations between the founder and myself, and handled the negotiations with real professionalism.
If you're in the tech industry and looking for a recruiter who genuinely gets the market and takes the time to get to know you, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Toby.

Jacquie contacted me for a role that was a very close match for my profile. She was thorough during her initial conversation to understand what I am looking for in a role. She always kept the communication going and helped me through out the interview process. She set the right expectations for the interviews and gave me plenty of pointers that helped me to navigate through the entire process.

Toby raised the bar at every step - after getting me hooked with his first message he maintained constant contact with me throughout the hiring process, was always proactive about pushing the process forward and kept me informed whenever there were updates. Toby was an absolute pleasure to work with and I will miss not needing an excuse for one of our catch-ups!

I could not have had a better experience. From the start, Geri took the time to understand my background, motivations and what I was looking for in my next role. Communications were clear and timely, expectations were well managed, and I felt supported at every stage of the process.
Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, I secured a role that I am genuinely excited about. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Geri to anyone looking for a recruiter who combines commercial insight with a very human approach.

Phenomenal. Seamless. Just two words that come to mind. Russell is always a delight to work with and just gets it. Excellent knowledge of the external candidate landscape and technical knowledge leads him to be able to quickly send through quality candidates with minimal back and forth. He just gets it. This hire was even more exceptional considering that Russell went above and beyond over the Xmas break to ultimately make this all happen. Thank you!!

Jacquie is a brilliant recruiter. She proactively reaches out to candidates with whom she's dealt with previously and keeps them front of mind for incoming vacancies to which they're suited. What especially impressed me was the preparation and detail Jacquie puts into setting the candidate up for optimising their resume before being passed onto the hiring manager. She understands Product roles really well and she's a seasoned professional in the I.T recruiting space. Highly recommended.

Megan was an absolute standout throughout the entire process. From our very first interaction, she impressed me with her professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. She took the time to really understand my background, goals, and strengths, and then matched me with opportunities that aligned perfectly.
What set Megan apart was her ability to make everything feel seamless and supportive—she was always available, always proactive in providing updates, and always encouraging. Her guidance not only gave me confidence during the process but also made me feel like I had a true partner invested in my success.
It's rare to come across someone who combines deep industry knowledge with such empathy and dedication. Megan is without question one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to take the next step in their career.
