His approach not only sets a new benchmark in executive search but also ensures his clients are poised for success in the competitive tech landscape.

 

I have been fortunate enough to work with Tanya to identify, vet and place candidates on several occasions during my career. These roles were international in scope and required the placement of high-calibre sales marketing & business development leaders with unique and comprehensive profiles. In each instance, Tanya was able to provide a pool of candidates that met and exceeded our expectations and resulted in the placement of a top-flight and high-contributing teammate. Tanya has always provided strong guidance and feedback during the process and I admire her flexibility, adaptability and commitment to finding not just the best candidates on paper, but the best candidates in terms of overall cultural and organizational fit. She is a true pleasure to work with.

It was such a pleasure working with Michael. He provided fantastic insight, spot-on background of the company and thoughtful conversation throughout the process. He was wonderful to work with!

I can highly recommend Tanya as a true expert in finding senior leadership talents. We had a very special global position to fill in our company, and Tanya not only found several capable candidates but even exceeded our expectations by far. She found a candidate who not only ticked all the must-have boxes but also someone who met all of our softer requirements and is a great addition to the team. Tanya is very easy to work with and my number one person “to go” about special recruitments in the medical device space.

We have been working with Michael on several positions and he has proven to be one of the most invaluable assets to us. Not only he is extremely resourceful but also he learns very quickly and adjusts rapidly. He can assess cultural fit and is a very good judge of character. The candidates he has sourced have all been great fits to what we asked for. We are grateful to have him as an extension of our team.

I’ve worked with Tanya on multiple critical executive roles. She spent a lot of time understanding the role but just as importantly the culture and fit of the organization. She’s a great partner!

Tanya is a true professional and cares about her clients and the companies she represents. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for helping recruit and scale your organization!

Michael provided a very professional experience throughout the entire process. One thing that stood out was Michael’s communication. At each phase, he was proactive in reaching out and making sure I was fully informed and prepared.

Tanya is amazing at her job! She knows how to connect top talent employers with qualified candidates, ensuring that they are an excellent fit. As a job seeker, Tanya made the process easy and enjoyable. She set me up for success by taking the time to determine my strengths and then she connected me to the right people. The collaboration was very smooth and her support made a huge impact on landing my dream job! I highly recommend Tanya as an executive recruiter!

Tanya is by far the most energetic, well-networked and success-driven executive recruiter I have had the opportunity to work with over the years. She defines the phrase ‘willing to go the extra mile‘, and stands out from her peers in terms of the level of executive candidate she can reach, her ability to objectively prescreen and pre-select them, and ultimately assures her client finds the right person for the role. I am not only willing to recommend her but have already done so to others I know who are starting C-suite or board-level searches.
