Recruiting and Relocating Elite Global Tech Talent

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.

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.

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.

I was lucky to get contacted by Neil while in active search for new opportunities. He helped me find an amazing job I wasn’t even considering due to unawareness of Australian job market….Neil was honest from our first call and quite modest and no-frills about the opportunity he was representing, although it was obvious (from other sources) that the job he was talking about was awesome. Later on during the process Neil would only contact me when it was necessary for concrete actions and I never found it burdening or effort-demanding replying to his emails due to his style of communication: very respectful and appropriate, yet brief and informal. Personally I found this particular aspect especially valuable since job search is a hard and busy time for any professional and correspondence with recruiters can be pretty time-consuming. Neil was also considerate and understanding when it came to other companies I was interviewing with. He didn’t try to push for the role he was offering and was rather facilitating the process and giving advice than actively trying to recruit me. I truly enjoyed and appreciate Neil’s help and can definitely recommend him.

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 🙂

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.

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’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 is absolutely one of the most professional tech recruiters I have ever know.
He is kind, sincere, knows the IT business well, and actually thinks for your best interest.
Neil helped me with the process of securing my new role and was super supportive all the way through.
