Mara is hands down one of the best headhunters in Europe! She brought in the best candidates within weeks. I'm looking forward to working on more projects together!

Franziska was a fantastic partner for us. I love her direct approach, her candor and willingness to share her perspective in addition to how she organizes herself. She asks great questions and really understood our business, our challenges and the type of leader for which we were looking. I would partner with her again in a heartbeat.

I can highly recommend Delano. He was an incredibly supportive and valuable partner throughout the whole recruiting process. Delano always provided immediate and transparent feedback in every step of the process, he was always available and deeply involved and even giving independent advice. What I valued most though, was his highly empathic style.
Marc Schumacher
Marc Schumacher Senior Director Marketing @ Audible
It's been great experience working with Mara! She understood the requirements of the roles we were looking for very quickly and added her valuable perspective. She provided a regular flow of strong, suitable candidates with diverse experience. As a result, the interviews themselves helped us finetune the ideal candidate profiles.

It was a pleasure to work with Franziska on VP Marketing search. Franziska was very focused on Preply needs thinking broadly about the right C-level setup. She was very honest and extremely result-oriented. During the search, I met with some of the best marketing leaders in Europe.

Franziska is one of the best networked digital exec search specialists out there. I have been lucky enough to see her work from both sides of the pitch, candidate and client, and she is a thorough headhunter that truly takes her time to partner with the business and learn everything she can about it.

Delano was an invaluable support for a Marketing Leadership search in the German market.Delano took the time to thoroughly understand the requirements of the role (which were many and most of them non- negotiable) and was able to provide strong profiles guaranteeing the progress of the search which had gotten to a stall before Delano took over.
Valentina Tortorelli
Valentina TortorelliSenior Recruiter Leadership @ Indeed.com
I had the pleasure to work with Mara to recruit a high-profile leadership position which we successfully filled in record time. I was particularly impressed by the speed she sourced high-quality candidates, responsiveness and communication in all directions. Nothing was ever dropped and all parties were in the loop.
