Efficient Time Savers

I've worked with Liane at Recognition One on many hires across the EMEA region. Why? because she has the ability to understand the brief in full, regardless of the role and the profile of the candidate we are searching for. The quality of candidates from Liane are always brilliant and are very well matched. Liane is brilliant to work with, very efficient, communicates well, dedicated to her work and saves me a lot of time, which is super valuable! I cannot recommend Liane enough and will continue working with her in the future.

Second to none!

Jay & Team at Recognition One have been a great help to me at Broadcom when hiring for hard to find niche skillsets for highly visible Senior Architect requisitions. They understand complex requirements, act quickly and are a pleasure to work with. Their delivery across Germany, France, and United Kingdom has been second to none.

Recognition One’s expertise and keen dedication were evident from day one. They quickly provided qualified candidates during a period which our company needed to quickly ramp up our sales team. They also helped recruit account executives and sales engineers in both the US and Europe. Their professionalism and ability to understand our company culture helped us identify high-quality candidates who fit with our team. I highly recommend their services to any company seeking top talent.

Urgency & due diligence / it's refreshing

It has been delightful to work with Jay and Team over the last two years. Jay takes the time to understand the wider strategy of the business and structure of the organisation alongside the technicalities of the requirements of the candidate we are looking for to fill my roles. To this end he has placed some strong candidates in my organisation to fill Cyber Security technical sales roles in Europe and Asia Pacific. They have a great level of customer service, and always have a sense of urgency and due diligence in their talent finding effort which is refreshing.

Extremely responsive

The Recognition One team was extremely responsive and sensitive to our hiring requirements. What most impressed me was the detailed initial call to understand our needs for each of the roles. And even though the roles we were looking for were in a niche area and one at C-Level, the candidates they introduced fit our criteria very well and were presented quickly.

We use Recognition One exclusively

At Boomi, our hiring demand was huge. I was introduced to Recognition One and they did an excellent job with sales and presales in multiple countries. They were able to support in geographies where we lacked experience and presence and compared to other talent agencies, Recognition One are much more involved and invested in our strategy. They really got to know our business and understand what ideal candidates look like so that they could very professionally represent Boomi in the market and deliver. We now continue to use Recognition One exclusively for Sales and Presales.
