My experiences working with him have been nothing short of excellent. Jiri's extensive background in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region is a significant asset. His deep understanding of the local market dynamics, combined with his strong network, enables him to identify and attract top talent effectively. Moreover, Jiri is exceptionally motivated and consistently provides prompt responses, ensuring that communication flows smoothly throughout the recruitment process. His commitment to delivering results is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Jiri Gazda for any recruiting consultancy role. I am confident that he will bring immense value to any organisation fortunate enough to work with him. Herbert Auer, Managing Director EMEA/Asia at ITG, Insulation Technology Group I had the pleasure of working with Jiri in 2017 when he successfully placed me in an MD position. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. Jiri's exceptional communication skills and unwavering support made the experience smooth and stress-free. His deep understanding of the industry, combined with his dedication to his clients, truly set him apart. I highly recommend Jiri to anyone seeking a top-notch headhunter who delivers results. Alex Kishonti, General Manager, EUROFINS Food, Feed, Enviro Testing Hungary What I have really appreciated in Jiri was the effort and ability to understand in-depth the candidate motivations and competence in relation to the potential employer company culture and expectations. Jiri has major strengths in not being very in-depth and also very professional. I can only recommend Jiri´s services to employers as well as candidates. Radim Pilous, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Adalid Sciences I’ve known Jiri for more than 5 years and during this time he has helped our company a lot in the CEE region with his expert advice, in-depth market knowledge and great communication skills. One project involved mapping the market for candidates for an important sales position and another time, thanks to Jiri, we recruited the perfect person for a Finance Manager role. The cooperation is always top quality, and Jiri is a great companion to talk about any topic. He always has a practical and positive approach to even difficult matters. Whoever needs an executive search in CEE, please call Jiri. I heartily recommend him. Marta Leszek, Lead HR West/South/East Europe, Dormakaba
