Highly engaged

When SnapLogic was looking to hire for a Customer Success Manager, Recognition One was the strongest recruiter and was highly engaged in our business and interview process and partnering with us to understand our business needs. We did regular CV reviews to make sure that we were on the same page which was a big contributor in them being successful finding the right candidates for SnapLogic. They had 2 candidates get to offer stage and we could have moved forwards with both. I'd highly recommend Recognition One as Harry, Ellyott and the team worked quickly with strong quality against a tricky brief.

I'm extremely happy

I'm extremely happy with Recognition One, they jumped onto the case quickly and delivered. I didn't want to compromise on quality and they were able to do this with speed. It was good supply of candidates. They had clearly interviewed the candidates and kept up communication throughout the process. The weekly check-in call was been super helpful. It's a partnership. Scheduling worked well, connection with candidates worked well, feedback worked well, there was good communication, and it was always practical and positive. The partnership has worked very well. What makes Recognition One stand out is that they're quick agile and also very practical, we're able to get to the point quickly and have a productive honest exchange.

They placed my whole Enterprise Sales Team

When I started in InsurTech in 2020, I engaged with Recognition One as I've worked with them before and trust them, and also a renowned Insurtech recruiter as everyone recommended as he's very well connected in the insurance market. In the beginning the InsurTech recruiter clearly had a big advantage! But what Recognition One did is listen carefully and learn from my coaching points - they do that brilliantly and then they found the right people. So much so, that they placed my whole enterprise sales team, all four of them, despite not knowing the market at the beginning, and that's really well done.

Exceeding lofty expectations

I started working with Harry only a short time ago but having had positive previous experiences of working with Recognition One, my expectations were high. Lofty expectations have been a cake walk, the service Harry has provided, specifically the pace he works and the high-calibre of sales candidates always presented have been impressive from our initial engagement to current day. Notable characteristics are his professional manner, taking a keen interest in our business and having a perspective on our culture and the nature of candidates who’d compliment my team. Harry has established himself as the first person I call when I need to add skills to my business.

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.

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.

Brilliant

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.
