Testimonials

"My experience as a candidate in a recruitment process managed by Hanna was exceptional. She was organised, thorough and not only prepared herself and her material in a detailed and professional manner, but made great effort in preparing the candidate and the potential employer for each step of the process. Similarly in discussions with my references, they were impressed by the comprehensive and professional conduct of the calls.

In my experience of dealing with many recruiters over the years, I can attest that Hanna is one of the most structured and methodical yet astute that I have dealt with. Considering this approach to the process, plus her attention to the ongoing relationships with all involved, the outcome is inevitably a positive experience for all.

I would not hesitate to recommend Hanna to other potential employers and can assure that we'll continue to look to Hanna in future for upcoming roles within the company.”

- Michael Raisbeck, Finance Manager at Linde Gas AB

“Hanna was very easy going and had a likable and professional approach from our first contact, and throughout the recruitment process. She showed great experience knowing the importance of finding a good match, both for her client and for me as a prospect for the hiring position. Hanna did that by investing a lot of time to get to know me as a person and to understand my professional background and future expectations. She kept me informed and updated during the full process, and she always made sure that I had a point of contact if she was on leave.

You could tell that Hanna knew Linde well in the way that she described the company and the people working there. It felt safe knowing that she had been working with them for some time and she had a good understanding of what they were looking for in the AP specialist role, which she communicated in a very clear and structured way.

Some time after I started working at Linde, Hanna followed up with me to make sure I was feeling good at my new position and that it was meeting my expectations.

I experienced a very caring and dedicated recruiter, who understands that the success factor in recruitment lies in the ability to make professional matches that has a potential for a long lasting relationship.

Thanks Hanna!"

- Erica Carlberg, Linde Gas AB
