11. TESTIMONIALS
My consultant worked as a true partner when approaching our
candidate searches; taking time to understand our business
and what the main drivers were for internal stakeholders before
beginning any search. This resulted in very relevant candidates
and ultimately very high caliber hires for our team.”
Business Director, Asia
I used Eximius for the search of senior profiles; they were able
to provide me with some very good candidates. We worked
together in a direct and efficient way which I truly value.”
Regional Head of Audit, Asia
Among the many recruiters I have worked with Eximius gets
the best results by far. My consultant took the time to
understand the role, the organizational context of the role,
and the market so that he/she could give tailored and
trustworthy evaluations on each potential candidate. The deep
role understanding also let he/she give diverse slates of
candidates by probing the underlying skills needed and
presenting potential candidates that other recruiters might
overlook. Eximius has been a real partner as we’ve built our
team out and I look forward to continue to work with them in
the future.”
Regional Head of Enterprise Control, Asia
My Eximius consultant was nothing short of fantastic; both
consultants that I worked with were very patient and openly
communicated the status of my application. Furthermore, they
made sure I was put forward to a company where my skills
suited the role and my personality suited the company. If the
consultants that I worked with represent the standard of an
Eximius employee I have no doubt that Eximius will achieve
industry leader status. I would definitely recommend Eximius
to other candidates and other companies.”
