​Neil is easily one of the best recruitment professionals that I have ever worked with. He has a natural ability to develop and nurture trusting relationships with the candidates and clients that he works with which made every engagement with him an enjoyable process with clear and positive results. Neil understands your hiring problems really well and is able to match them with global talent that would be very hard to find yourself. He is someone that genuinely cares about helping your business grow and has an unwavering passion for his work. I would recommend Neil to anyone looking to hire great talent and look forward to working with him again in the future.

​I have had the pleasure of working with Neil hiring across multiple tech roles with my last company. He is one of only a couple of tech talent agencies that I would look to use again. Neil goes above and beyond anyone I've worked with before, tapping into his amazing network of engineers. He is great at managing expectations, deliverables and communication (he even uses Slack! 💜)! The service he provides is unique, it feels like I'm working with a colleague, because he is so keen to understand the requirements and then over-deliver on expectations! Would highly recommend!

Neil's been a wonderful recruitment partner to Canva. He took the time to really understand our business, technical requirements, and where we set the bar (somewhere up in the stratosphere). He's tenacious and worked insanely hard to really lock-in exactly what we were looking for -- and he delivered.In the early days, where each hire carries substantially more risk, he helped us bring on board some amazing engineers that continue to smash goals year on year. His honest, ethical, and straight-forward communication approach puts him miles ahead of his competitors. I can count on three fingers the number of recruiters partners that I actually rate. Neil is one of them, I highly recommend him, irrespective of whether you're an up-and-coming startup (like Canva was) or a larger organization looking to raise the bar.

​Neil is definitely the best recruiter I've ever worked with. He's extremely professional and strives to find candidates who are likely to be a good long term fit with your business in all regards. He has strong domain knowledge and so the conversion rate to offer stage for candidates presented is very high, put differently you don't end up wasting time on candidates who are not a good match. His communication is extremely strong on both sides and he acts as a good facilitator to both the employer and candidate during the hiring process.

Neil is one of the best recruiters that I was working with. He has a unique blend of technical knowledge and natural curiosity which allows him to profile candidates more thoroughly than his competitors. I would have no hesitation to recommend Neil to any company, client or business partner.

​The best way to build an in-house recruitment practice is to have at your disposal an arsenal of solid technical recruiters who know our quality standards - hiring the top 5% of software engineering talent means that we may have to go through hundreds of candidates. Neil has achieved the best rates for placement of tech talent in Asia Pacific, with 30% of candidates successfully hired, compared to the current industry average of less than 20% who are not able to clear the first robust coding interview. I have worked closely with him to relocate global talent from China, Indonesia, India, and Thailand. These engineers not only are great hires, they add to the culture and influence our teams positively. He quickly gets up to speed in complex hiring needs with time-sensitive requirements, and his engaging, humorous manner brings joy in a startup environment where stress levels may be high.
