Bio
Marina Ioannou
Guy is a brilliant recruiter and a real professional. He is truly knowledgeable about the Indirect Tax sector and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Looking for a job can be an anguishing experience but with Guy’s continuous support and guidance, it became such a smooth and simple process. Above all, I was really pleased that Guy kept me updated and did so throughout the entire process. It is without hesitation, that I recommend Guy, if you’re in need of a friendly and extremely helpful expert in the field of Indirect Tax Recruitment.

Guy is an incredible recruiter! From the first meeting we had via Teams (first time ever a recruiter wanted to take the time to actually see me!), I felt he was a very hard working person who was going to assist me in landing an amazing job. He was honest from the beginning about what sort of expectations I should have and he always kept me informed about any positions and updates. The recruitment process lasted over a month and during this time I felt I was well supported and helped. I could always call him and he always helped me not to feel discouraged. The way he communicated with the companies I interviewed with was very professional and I truly believe he has a huge networking capability. Besides being super positive and friendly I admired one characteristic the most: his honesty. He helped me believe in myself and I am so proud of everything I have achieved because of him. Definitely recommend as a recruiter if you are looking for a great job as well as honesty and excellent customer service!
