James Billingham, Commercial Director, Hong Kong
My career has changed its path 3 times in the last 12 years, the most recent being a move to Hong Kong this year. Each time I have employed 3 Agency recruiters to support my own efforts. But it has been Pete that every time has found the opportunities, the ideas, and the real jobs for me to convert. More than the just the results, at the same time he is always there to talk things through and steady your nerves during the process. He is now a friend and a valuable colleague that I highly recommend to others looking for that change in their career path. October, 2010
Virgilio Pe Benito, Planning Engineer, Qatar
Pete is a very reliable recuitment consultant who discovered me for the vacant position of Sr. Planning Engineer. I am very satisfied with the outcome of his recommendation - it turns out that the position that I am currently handling now is exactly the job that I have been seeking for years, because the job involves advancing further technically and also exposure in project controls - especially in planning, estimating, and costing. Furthermore, I have another colleague who was recruited by Pete and we both enjoyed working together with the company. Pete has extensively handled his job and performed well as recuitment consultant. Due to Pete's good performance and achievement, he is being recognised and recommended as future business consultant for the next coming opportunities. September, 2010
