Previous FD at Global Organisation, Hampshire
“I have worked with Caterina as both a client and a candidate for several years now. She treats me the same whichever I happen to be at a particular time - something that is not always true of all recruiters, so it impresses me. She is always willing to talk and bounce ideas around, even if there is not a sniff of revenue in it for her in the short term! She also gives good honest advice, even when it may not be what I want to hear. That speaks highly of her integrity, her care for people as people, and her astute long-view commerciality.
I enjoy our interactions, I respect her recruitment expertise, and I highly recommend her. I don't connect with every recruiter that sends me a request on LinkedIn, and I don't hand out recommendations for them lightly either. But Cat is one of those whom I am very pleased to be connected with, and delighted to be able to recommend."
