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.

Neil found me on LinkedIn and helped me through the interview process at Airtasker. We talked every step of the way so that I would know what to expect of the next stage and to make me feel comfortable. For someone who is leaving their home country that is very important! Thanks for all the support Neil, I can literally say you changed my life 🙂

I was fortunate enough to get in contact with Neil. He is one of the best recruiters that I have ever worked with. He is honest, kind and straight to the point. At all times I felt that he is working in my best interest. It was a pleasure to go trough the process with him. Thank you!

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!

In a world where tech recruitment is difficult, and finding trusted, reliable, active and knowledgeable recruiters is even harder, Neil shines above the rest.

He’s one of the few I trust to follow through on commitments and to legitimately seek an outcome that’s beneficial for candidates, employers and himself as a recruiter.

Neil approached me for a job opportunity and so we were in touch for a few weeks. I can only say good things about him. He was always checking in with me, reminding me of events and debriefing right after. Always polite and available, just the type of person you want to deal with. Most importantly, even when the opportunity didn’t materialise, he took extra time to ask feedback to the company and he shared it with me in details and in an actionable way. I wish all agencies and HR people were a bit more with Neil. Highly recommended!

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

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.

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 worked with Neil when I had to hire Data Scientists for Teralytics….Neil was one of the few head-hunters who managed to place any candidates with us and his candidates were impressive colleagues after they joined us. Neil took the time to understand our culture and read beyond the job descriptions to understand candidates who were suitable for us. He knew what was unique about our company and positioned accordingly to candidates. It was never about making a deal for the sake of deal-making but finding the suitable match between the candidate’s aspirations and the company’s growth. For that reason, I highly recommend Neil to companies and candidates!
