Why Zenopa
What our clients say
Suzannah Stafford
Business Unit Manager
Working with Libby from Zenopa has been brilliant. She listens to what I'm looking for, and adapts the search accordingly. She genuinely understands my requirements and then shortlists the suitable candidates for my attention, saving me valuable time. Her communication and responsiveness is impressive. I would thoroughly recommend Zenopa for recruitment services.
Lisa Bennett, Daicel Chiral Technologies
HR Manager
During my career in HR, I have utilized a lot of various staffing agencies. While most have proven lack luster and often a source of frustration during the recruiting process, Zenopa was anything but that. James, Olivia, and the team were absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only were they able to quickly find qualified and experienced candidates that matched what we were looking for, but they were present for every step of the process. Additionally, when our relationship with Zenopa extended to an EOR, James was still available to assist with any bumps in the road, even though it was outside of his own department. James & Olivia were always available and being a US client, we didn’t even notice that there was a time difference. Working with Zenopa was a true recruiting partnership.
Patrick Hofmann, Daicel Arbor Biosciences
Global Sales Director
I had a fantastic experience with Zenopa. James reached out when he saw me post about our EU position on LinkedIn. A lot of recruiters do that but he impressed me with his insights on the market and candidate pool. It was obvious he knew our space and had a good network. Once we officially had them onboard, they submitted a very impressive batch of initial candidates. They also distinguished themselves as we worked through the selection process with follow-up information, references, etc. Oliva is very diligent and was a joy to work with. This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with an external recruiter.
Katherine Johnson, Quantum Si
Senior Product Director
I have worked with James at 2 companies now posting for a variety of roles and have been impressed with Zenopa's quality of candidates, and fast turnaround. I also find that they take feedback very well and quickly adjust their search accordingly to our needs after we provide feedback on initial candidate screens. I have worked with a dozen or so recruiters throughout my career, and I would say Zenopa is one of the most reliable.
Christopher Austin
Managing Director
As the former Managing Director of IKA, I commend Zenopa for their outstanding recruitment services. Amy Pearce excelled in understanding my needs, delivering top-tier candidates and ensuring a smooth process. Her expertise and dedication were invaluable to our success. Highly recommended.
Richard Hobman
As our business continues to expand I have utilised Zenopa many times over the past few years and they have successfully placed candidates with us on the majority of occasions.
Libby & the team always take the time to fully understand our particular requirements for each of our vacancies and the first stage screening of potential candidates ensures we are receiving the right calibre of interviewee which significantly reduces the time we spend on this process internally.
My experience of working with Zenopa (predominantly Libby & Liam) has been very positive, they are fully invested in the process from start to finish providing excellent feedback and communication throughput each recruitment cycle.
