“Steve is definitely the best headhunter I have ever worked with. His rich experience in the data center industry enables him to quickly identify his candidate's strengths. He can also find the shining points of his candidates by a 30 minute conversation which he then bridges to the business needs of his clients. He only asked necessary questions during the interview, briefing and follow up with both candidate & client. Very professional.”
