Testimonials

Rutesh has built a strong relationship with myself and our internal HR team over the course of 2022. He has personally understood the culture and challenges within the organisation and in particular the Nuclear Sector. We appointed Rutesh to carry out a number of retained searches for us at senior level at the start of 2022 which included the VP of Technology (CIO), the Chief Security Officer (CISO) and Head of Enterprise Architecture which he successfully placed into the National Nuclear Laboratory organisation. Rutesh took the time to fully understand the brief, source and shortlist extremely strong candidates that we were able to take through a rigorous selection process. Rutesh ensured both the organisation and the candidates were engaged at all stages of the process providing the personal communication that differentiates the service from other providers. He had a very transparent approach and over the course of the year he has become a trusted advisor to myself and our internal HR team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rutesh for future searches.
, Chief Financial Officer, NNL

It was a pleasure to work with Rutesh transitioning into my next role. Rutesh managed the recruitment process in a professional and efficient manner from start to finish. He had a thorough understanding of his client's organisation, candidate requirements and prepared me well for my interactions with my now employer. Rutesh is punctual and always available for a conversation to help the process go smoothly. I highly recommend Rutesh.
