We have been partnering with Skills Alliance on numerous European and International retained assignments and have been more than satisfied with the quality of service they deliver. We are impressed with their industry knowledge, their follow-through and their ability to meet tight deadlines for senior, business critical hires.
Carl and his team at Skills Alliance are amongst the best direct hire and senior level search firms I have ever worked with. It is rare to find a firm that can add significant value both in the States, as well as in Europe and their willingness to work across borders, time zones and seemingly around the clock made a big impact on both my Global Talent Acquisition team, as well as the candidates they closed. I would recommend Carl without hesitation to any company looking for a strategic partner for their senior level direct hire needs.
Cogniciti has partnered with Skills Alliance as our exclusive FSP provider globally since 2018. They have been a fantastic partner in supporting our growth via outsourced services in a variety of functional areas, across both R&D and commercial business units. Skills Alliance’s flexible support, dedicated team and outstanding delivery have helped make this partnership a continued success.
I would like to recommend Carl — personally and his team — for they work with me as their client. I was a candidate for a senior leadership role that Carl was filling for a pharma company. Carl's interactions with me were always of the highest professional nature, committed, competent, and reliable.
