Simon Wood – General Manager EMEA
I partnered with the People Pod for nearly a decade to recruit a variety of talented specialists into the business. They spent significant amounts of time making sure they understood our needs and business model. This allowed them to honestly represent the company to potential candidates. Their headhunting skills and talent attraction techniques were vital to the success of our relationship. We found that they consistently provided top quality candidates that matched our needs. In addition, they had the imagination to provide candidates that would fit the company culture. This ensured we did not waste time reviewing inappropriate CVs or interviewing unsuitable candidates. Having filled numerous challenging recruitment campaigns over the years, they were the recruiter that consistently delivered the results we were looking for.
