Testimonials I wanted to convey to you how impressed I have been with the service I have received from Felix. I have been searching for a Head of Product Control for a year and the role has been very difficult to fill not only because Product Controllers seem to be in high demand but also that we were looking for a very particular skill set and needed someone who was at a particular point in their career. I have worked with 8+ consultancies (Venn Group / Eximius / Robert Walters / Robert Half... the list goes on) over this 12 month period and can safely say that Felix has been by far the most impressive consultant. His attention to detail, extensive coaching of candidate and client alike and motivation to work to our specifications has really impressed me. I do not work with agencies, I work with consultants and Felix is one of the best I ve come across for quite some time and I look forward to working with again in the future. He is to be congratulated for his hard work and superior professionalism. Gemma Wareham Head of HR Commonwealth Bank of Australia - August 2011
Testimonials You handled the recruitment process well, keeping me informed when relevant. You have good market knowledge and could therefore identify the appropriate candidate for me and managed the process professionally. Cyril Yip, Rates Exotics Valuation, Director I have worked with Felix on an engagement during May/June 2010 whereby Felix helped to fill one open role I have in my product control team. Throughout the engagement, Felix came across as someone with strong professionalism yet personable and strived to ensure he clearly understood my requirements. I have also met Felix personally in an initial meeting where he articulated very well his approach to recruitment and maintained regular contacts with me after the initial meeting. The candidate that Felix had successfully placed in my team has performed well such that his confidence on the suitability of the candidate for my role had been vindicated, despite my initial reservation. It is also worthy to that it is commendable that Felix would work tireless for a candidate and not give in to initial push backs for the sake of unnecessarily appeasing his clients and he does it in a polite and professional manner. Overall I am pleased with the level of service and support that Felix has afforded and in turn I have also recommended Felix to my counterpart in Exotics PT/Vals. I believe Felix is close to completing that engagement too. Lenny Tan, Rates Exotics Line Product Control, Director
