“Callum, when it comes to executive search, is a real pro. He recommended me to a CEO position - later when I was in charge, he supported me by filling different positions. Callum always delivered on time and he had the right and fitting candidates. I was very happy with his service and performance and can highly recommend him. If I would have a need to fill a position - talking with Callum is going to be my priority.“
