Client Testimonials

Gergo Nagy – Talent Lead at Wise

“I’ve worked with Richard for a while now, during which time he has always demonstrated an incredible level of determination, resilience and excellent communication. Furthermore, he has developed a strong understanding of Wise's unique product and consumer driven mindset reflected in his ability to find the best product people for our business.

He has succeeded in identifying, engaging and closing highly skilled professionals for some of our most difficult roles in niche markets both geographically (across the US, UK and Hungary) and in very challenging and competitive industries like Treasury or Investments. Richard’s balance of tenacity and modesty has resulted in him building long lasting and trustworthy relationships with multiple members of the recruitment team.

Richard's goal has never been to just fill a position but always to truly understand the business and opportunity to ensure the right fit for client and candidate. I've never worked with an external recruitment partner like Richard, who I can truly call a Partner. It’s a pleasure to work with and know him."

Szabolcs Maruzsa – Recruiter at Wise

"Richard has been a real pleasure to work with. From my personal perspective his partnership throughout the last year can be best defined as transparent, adaptive and impactful on hiring.

Richard has helped us sourcing, engaging and securing world-class product managers and leaders for some very niche and challenging roles in the UK and in Hungary.

What I really like about his work ethic is his limitless empathy towards not just our company and our strategic goals & the opportunities along the way, but also towards the candidates he is guiding through the process and our recruitment team (hence his ability to build out strong, trustworthy partnerships). He is continuously demonstrating a high level of resilience, feedback-friendliness, big picture thinking, openness to feedback and a get it done attitude - all crucial factors for us to be successful in what we do as a recruitment team."

Candidate Testimonials

Till Wirth - Product Director (Platform) at Wise

"Richard recruited me to my current role and I got to say he did a fantastic job! He approached me about a year ago about product management positions. At the time, I didn't want to move jobs but Richard still spent quite a bit of time helping me think about my career. I'm incredibly grateful for the advice he's given me. Eventually, he suggested a role at Wise Platform that was just too good to ignore. He guided me through the interviewing process and gave me lots of good impartial advice along the way. I know that I’ll be able to count on him with future career advice."

Jon Lofthouse - Principal Product Manager at Wise

"Richard was a great help in my job search, providing sage advice and guidance along the way. It was a pleasure working with him."

Niklas Hojman - Senior Product Manager (Treasury) at Wise

"Richard is a very strong headhunter and was a great sparring partner throughout one of my interview processes which ultimately lead to an offer. What stood out to me in terms of Richard’s professionalism was that when discussing the actual offer, it’s clear that he did not optimise for short-term gains, but instead there was a clear longevity to the advice that he gave. Can highly recommend!"

Caitie (Shaughnessy) DeNunzio - Senior Product Marketing Manager at Wise

"Richard is an excellent headhunter and he was a great thought partner to me while I navigated my job search. He was patient and took the time to understand my career aspirations. It's clear to me that he cares about the success of candidates and making sure the role is a good fit on both sides. If you're looking for a headhunter to help attract top talent, I strongly recommend Richard!" Michele Galli - Product Director at Wise (Growth & Onboarding)
