Testimonials

"Leo is one of the few in the recruitment space that can take a specification and truly deliver in providing high quality candidates that not only have the right skills, but also that special edge. I get approached by various recruitment consultancies all the time, promising how their approach is better, but they rarely live up to their promises. Leo on the other hand, always delivers the goods; I’d highly recommend him."
Jonathan Conway, VP of Engineering

"I first met Leo in 2012 just before he founded Recommend. Leo has always stood out because he consistently adds more value than the traditional recruiter. He is involved earlier in the process than other recruiters, advising on different types of roles and staffing solutions. This has helped me go to market in the best possible way. Leo is a trusted advisor. I would recommend him."
Mark Gibbard, CTO at Eurooffice

"When looking for a CTO role, one is chiefly concerned with the lay out of the business’ leadership, prospects and appetite for improvement across its technical estate, as well as its ambition for scale and expansion. With that in mind, Recommend produced intricate needs analysis for the business that required major change, development and upskilling, as well as understanding of the leadership’s pain points and focuses within the business. All stages of engagement, be that with C-suite or managers on the ground, were meticulously mapped out and provided me with the best opportunity to show where I could add value and fit into the organisation. I can honestly endorse Recommend's approach to helping me secure a great role and will be happy to use them in the future."
Martyn Arbon, CTO at Tungsten Network

"I, like my colleagues, have hired through Leo for the past 3 years for Technical Consultants with very specific requirements and Leo has never failed to deliver the right person. He’s finely attuned to my requirements and has helped hire a sustained, high-performance team here. I would thoroughly recommend Leo’s passion, eye for detail and recruitment ability."
Chris Talliss, Technical Services Director at Tungsten Network

"Recommend have been a great support in helping us scale our development team across the full end-to-end stack. Understanding our technical challenges, the personalities, culture and seniority of what we need, whilst navigating the developer market for us has been a great experience. They understand the developer psyche, what our expectations have been and how to influence special talent to our team. I'd thoroughly recommend them."
Sam Grzesiak, VP Engineering & Services at Smartway2

"Leo is a talented recruiter. While others tend to just send CVs around, he took the time to understand my profile and my aspirations. He obtained several interviews for me, for relevant roles, and was able to recommend exciting companies. All in all, he was an invaluable help in finding my new position and relocating to the UK. I recommend him warmly."
Julien LeTessier, CTO at Peanut

"I’ve known Leo for many years now, and I’ve worked with Leo both as a candidate and an employer in recruitment. As a candidate, I always felt that he understood what I was looking for, and he was able to find and recommend attractive job opportunities for me. I was successfully placed by Leo, and the next time I’m in the market for a job his number will be the first one I dial."
Ed James, Head of Engineering at Ruby-on-Rails

"Right role, right org and right person” are crucial to maximising effectiveness and outcomes. Leo & his team achieved this by understanding my skills & personality along with being clear on the type of IT Director the organisation really needed. During the hiring process, what made a difference for me was the thoroughness of briefing."
Simon Campbell, IT Director at Ricardo

"I had a great experience with Recommend and Leo’s approach in introducing me to the opportunity was particularly helpful to my securing my current VP of IT role at Seqirus. Leo provided a clear brief on the opportunity at Seqirus and with multiple interviewers and assessments provided insight into each participant. He understood the need for a VP to seed a greenfield technical estate for this Joint Venture; in many cases he had asked some of the difficult questions already which played a key role in the successful outcome to my hire. Leo also ran the search that secured my replacement at Ricardo Plc."
Martin Jones, VP of Technology at Seqirus

"I first met Leo when he placed me as the CTO of Forward Internet Group, in 2007. Since then, I’ve used Leo’s exceptional knowledge of the Software Industry to hire all manner of professionals within the open source (particularly Ruby-on-Rails) Development, Project Management and Business Analysis space. He’s meticulous in gauging my recruitment needs, friendly to deal with and has delivered exceptional quality talent to both Forward and Simply Business. I’d highly recommend Leo’s services both as a candidate and a client."
Lukas Oberhuber, CTO and Ruby-on-Rails evangelist
