I have worked closely with Greg recruiting a number of DevOps engineers over the last few years and his attention to detail and focus on finding the right candidates has been a great asset during our recruitment process, it will be hard to replace him in this process. Greg is highly professional and also approachable which puts his candidates at ease, he is as focused in finding the candidate the correct role as much as he is finding the right candidate for the team looking for a candidate. I would not hesitate in recommending Greg.

Greg found me for the role of Head of Customer Success at AC3. A critical role for the organisation, heading a BU just being integrated through an acquisition with lots of challenges and legacy procedures. Greg was extremely knowledgeable about the role details, the company strengths and had the great consistency in always keeping me updated throughout the interviewing process. I had a great experience in engaging with him during my hiring at AC3 and would highly recommend Greg for any talent acquisition and hiring roles in any organisation.
