Gerlie Deocares

Sir Gerard is a very diplomatic manager; he leads from the left and manages from the right. For someone new in recruitment back in Prime Manpower; he easily picks up and understands the business. He is very approachable and accommodating; he will definitely add value and best practices where ever he goes.

Randy Rively

I have known Gerard for the past thee years, including while he worked as Senior Deliver Manager at both Manpower, Inc. and Prime Manpower. I was consistently impressed by both Gerard's attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. His interpersonal and communication skills allowed him to develop productive working relationships with both our clients and our staff.
