As a new graduate, I was of course in the process of looking for my first job and for that I was helped by Mr Kumar.

He was very professional, nice and ready to travel from London to Paris to meet me, he sold my profile to the client and even give advice about my salary.

I would recommend Kavi to anyone who is looking for interesting positions.

Abdoulaye
{

Kavi successfully helped me during my last job research.

It was a very instructive experience with a real team work and professional commitment.

He was of a great support when I was taking a step back to make an informed decision as my next career move.

I would definitely recommend working with him.

Furthermore, Kavi is really friendly and easy to work with.

Sébastien
{

Kavi really got things moving for me.

I didn’t believe that it was possible to make hiring decisions in Switzerland within 24 hours, but he had the drive and determination to make that happen.

Kavi is highly professional yet straightforward. He’s very easy to work with. I truly appreciate his honesty and, on a more personal level, his sense of humor.

I can recommend Kavi.

Stephen
{

In addition to the usual challenges presented during the hiring process, the end client was in the middle of a merger with a third party.

Kavi proved reliable, professional and highly efficient throughout the process.

I commend Kavi on his communication and negotiation skills and would (and will) recommend him to colleagues.

Graham
{

I would recommend Kavi to anyone out there who is in the process of searching for a job.

I worked with Kavi for just over a month and he was excellent.

Through every step of my application process he was easy to communicate with and fantastic in providing updates and giving me feedback on the status of my application.

He produced great results and I am now happily working in my role.

Sanaa
{

Kavi is one of the best recruitment consultants I have worked with.

I have been thoroughly impressed by his high degree of expertise in securing me a role and subsequent renewals in a highly competitive market.

He understands what the essential requirements of the job are and gives a true assessment as opposed to selling it.

I have found Kavi to be knowledgeable, hard working, helpful, reliable, energetic and a skilled communicator.

I would love to continue working with him to find interesting roles in the future.

Ganesh
{

I strongly recommend Kavi, who has been reliable, professionnal and highly efficient in the whole recruitment process and the follow up after that.

I am particularly happy of the way he did the maximum to make sure I will succeed not only professionnally in my new job but as well in my relocation abroad.

I most certainly will ask him for my next job search.

Matthieu
{

Unlike many recruiters I have been in touch with over the years, Kavi worked very hard to provide a match between candidate and client.

He took the time to understand my expectations, preferences, skills, etc.

He shared his professional advice to ensure that I was fully ready to go through the recruitment process.

Whilst he has a rigorous professional approach, he also maintains a friendly business relationship which makes the whole process much more comfortable.

Christophe
{

Listening, Understanding and Efficiency. They’re the 3 words that can qualify Kavi and his work.

Finally found someone working in CyberSecurity recruitment that understands the market and the consultants that are evolving in it.

He is able to understand Professional and Personal targets that someone is aiming, and with the same importance levels!

Kavi is someone you can fully trust and exchange with. Whatever he will help you find the best solution that fits your expectations.

Jean-Baptiste

I had the opportunity to work with Kavi.

He found me an interesting IT mission and he showed fair play and transparency when negotiating the contract.

He’s a smart guy with a good relationship.

To manage the mission, he also ensured regular quality follow-up with both the client and me.

I hope that we will have the opportunity to have a professional collaboration over time.

He has always been very supportive and efficiently guided me through the whole selection process.

The way he supported me and his attention to my feelings was incredible. Probably even a friend wouldn’t have done better to motivate me.

He really made the difference to me, throughout the whole selection process.

Kavi was very mindful to my needs and what I was looking for as a new professional home.

He not only worked tirelessly to recommend the employer most suited to my goals and personality, but he was able to decide what needs to be done, in what order and when.

Truly lovely person to be around who always went that extra mile for me.

Professional, personable and an extremely knowledgeable consultant.

I was contacted by Kavi for a prospective job. He was from the start very clear and frank about both the position and the business unit (that he knew well), and actually convinced me to give it a try.

From the first phone interview to the very last one with the head of the BU, Kavi would have a call with me before the interview to go over what he felt was going to be covered and make sure I was ready to handle any question thrown at me. He would always follow up with a post-interview debrief.

He was from start to end of the process both helpful and supportive, and his professionalism landed me a really interesting job 🙂
