What Candidates Say About Us

Conor Walshe

Associate Director of Engineer, Vaccines at MSD

Joel is a 'hands on' recruiter who works proactively with his candidates clients to put you forward for jobs that suit your skills. He matches the company with your skills so not to waste time and create any frustration on either parties behalf.

Marc Bitanga

VP, Marketing, Warranty Master

Joel is a positive, professional and knowledgeable recruiter I had the pleasure of working with. Having worked with Joel to recruit members for my team, he took the time to understand who we needed for the team from both a professional and team culture perspective. He also did his due diligence to understand how best to attract the right talent and how to source them. I have no hesitation recommending Joel's work.

Neethu Jagdish

HR and Culture Leader

In an industry that attracts those who hide behind a fragile patina of hubris and bravado, it's rare to find the real deal. Joel Peterson is a genuine bona fide Recruiter who is also one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever known in this industry. I have known many recruiters in my career, but Joel surely stands out as the best among them. My experience of working with Joel was exceptional. He is someone who is extremely approachable, yet professional at the same time. I would definitely recommend Joel to anyone looking for a remarkable recruiting experience.
