Neil was very supportive during all my process, he was worried on how I was feeling and made me feel comfortable. He doesn’t want to have me hired at any price, He wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing to me. This is what I expect from a professional and responsible recruiter, and definitely Neil is one of those

Neil is a great professional. He has found me and offered an opportunity which I haven’t ever dream of. Working with him was a pleasure. He has always been in contact with me and provided support through the whole interviewing and hiring processes. It was my first interview in foreign company and Neil gave me a lot of extremly valueable advices. I’ve never imagined that recruiter can spend so much time working with candidate. He really cares! Professionals like Neil do a really great job connecting employers with employees all over the world and I’m sure that Neil is one of the best in it. Thank you Neil, you’ve made my dream come true!

Neil is the best recruiter I know. He not only introduced me to many hot opportunities, but also has been a fantastic career advisor.

Neil is one of the best recruiters that I was working with. He has a unique blend of technical knowledge and natural curiosity which allows him to profile candidates more thoroughly than his competitors. I would have no hesitation to recommend Neil to any company, client or business partner.

I was very satisfied with Neil’s services. He proposed me an interesting position, gave all the required information, was very helpful at every step of acquiring the job and provided useful information about relocation and getting visa. Neil was quick at answering my questions. All the interactions with him were very friendly and positive. I rate Neil as a top level talent hunter and strongly recommend his services.

Anyone who has tried to build engineering team knows that its no mean feat in this region (APAC). I have worked with numerous recruiters in my journey of attracting talent for high growth companies. Neil & his team has always surprised me with interesting profiles and commitment to fine tune the search as we go along. I count on him as a partner in building great engineering teams because 1.) I don’t like to be wrong in picking right talent for the team 2.) There are very less recruiters like Neil who care to nourish/invest in partnerships.

Neil’s been a wonderful recruitment partner to Canva. He took the time to really understand our business, technical requirements, and where we set the bar (somewhere up in the stratosphere). He’s tenacious and worked insanely hard to really lock-in exactly what we were looking for — and he delivered. In the early days, where each hire carries substantially more risk, he helped us bring on board some amazing engineers that continue to smash goals year on year. His honest, ethical, and straight-forward communication approach puts him miles ahead of his competitors. I can count on three fingers the number of recruiters partners that I actually rate. Neil is one of them, I highly recommend him, irrespective of whether you’re an up-and-coming startup (like Canva was) or a larger organization looking to raise the bar.

The best way to build an in-house recruitment practice is to have at your disposal an arsenal of solid technical recruiters who know our quality standards – hiring the top 5% of software engineering talent means that we may have to go through hundreds of candidates. Neil has achieved the best rates for placement of tech talent in Asia Pacific, with 30% of candidates successfully hired, compared to the current industry average of less than 20% who are not able to clear the first robust coding interview. I have worked closely with him to relocate global talent from China, Indonesia, India, and Thailand. These engineers not only are great hires, they add to the culture and influence our teams positively. He quickly gets up to speed in complex hiring needs with time-sensitive requirements, and his engaging, humorous manner brings joy in a startup environment where stress levels may be high.

I have worked with Neil as a candidate and it was a very pleasant experience. He introduced me to Canva and then convinced to move to the other side of the world, helping me during every step of my journey. Neil was very caring and professional, at the same time not putting any pressure on me. As a candidate I would definitely recommend working with Neil, because he is surely the best recruiter I’ve ever met.

I was hunted down by Neil and moved from Saint-Petersburg, Russia to Singapore. I didn’t think about relocation at all when Neil contacted me, just decided to give it a try and somehow I live in another part of the world now 🙂 It was a real pleasure working together – I was fully aware of the current state and the whole process, got many valuable hints and there always was a feeling that he cares (which is a rare thing in HR, at least in my experience). Being obsessed with programming, I value professionals in any sphere and Neil is definitely one of the best in his field. Also, he is a very nice-to-work-with guy. Thank you!
