Client testimonials

Mastery of content and role specific understanding, combined with high engagement skills and far-reaching network helped Execruit to source a comprehensive and well-fitting candidate pipeline. I personally appreciate all the extra miles that the team walked to deliver a great outcome.

Signe Reidla has a great understanding of the Pharmaceutical industry and offered me a position that was a perfect fit for my skills. The insights and support she provided were helpful in my career development. She is committed and follows up very closely on the recruitment phases and beyond

Regular, precise and tailored communication is a true strength of Execruit. I felt we were well-informed about the status of the search process at any point in time and well-consulted for any potential change of direction. Another call-out is flexibility – our evolving requirements were heard and swiftly incorporated into the process.

Partnering with Execruit to fill two complex senior technical leader roles was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Great listening skills, first hand industry experience and the ability to translate our search brief into actionable search strategy led to results fast. In addition to meeting the specific objectives, we have now enriched our network with potential future talent.
