My current roles

"Thank you very much for your support. Frankly speaking, as you remember I didn't interest in the position due to outsourcer but your approach was perfect to make me cheer up. It has been taking a time to finalize but it was great experience to communicating with you." - Country Lead- Japan

Testimonial

"My team in APAC have been working with Richard for a few months and he has been awesome. His ability to plug into the market to find us options and work professionally and in partnership with my team has been highlighted as exceptional. I had my doubts when he originally reached out to me - as lots of people talk up their ability to recruit on the other side of the world and fail - but he proved me wrong."
