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.

Absolut hervorragender Service von Toby Chapman und James Higgins. Sie haben sich mehr als nur bemüht, mir zu helfen, meine Traumstelle zu finden. Beide sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, absolut ehrlich und sehr informativ. Ich kann Zenopa jedem, der auf der Suche nach seinem nächsten Karriereschritt ist, nicht genug empfehlen. Vielen Dank dafür!
