It was a real pleasure to work with Kavi. He is really responsive, goes right to the point, the kind of person you want to work with in cybersecurity. He clearly understands CISO’s cybersecurity problems.

He was also accommodating when facing customers’ problems. He focused on finding solutions that could arrange all of us. I warmly recommend working with Kavi.

I have been working with Kavi while he assisted us recruit a number of candidates on my team. Kavi has built an in-depth understanding of our business and requirements and delivers a high calibre of candidates.

I have come to trust his ability to repeatedly produce high quality CVs and with candidates having been fully qualified/vetted beforehand. I trust his judgment and he is honest and candid in my dealings with him.

Firaas Rashid Founder & CEO, Hook

Kavi is among the best client partners I had the pleasure of working with. He is very astute, but he also grasps the strategic challenges of the client and how to source a team that will deliver what the client needs.

I definitely recommend Kavi.

I really appreciate working with Kavi to recruit key people. Kavi was able to find high profiles. He is very professional and will make his best to obtain results.

Sylvain Metais Associate Partner, IBM

It has always been a pleasure to work with Kavi. He is really smart and effective, very convincing and focused. We staffed almost all our positions with great profiles that we were not able to reach by ourselves.

We had to work almost on a daily basis; our relationship has always been very smooth and professional. I highly recommend Kavi and will continue entrusting him for my coming searches.

Jean-Marc Bianchini Head of Cybersecurity Services, Sogeti

I started working with Kavi as I was looking to staff two key positions in my team. He was quick to understand what we were looking for, asking relevant questions and initiating a trust relationship. Both of them have joined the team and have already proven to be excellent professionals and have distinguished themselves on several occasions.

Working with Kavi was a pleasure and I would entrust him again with the most critical resource staffing.

Pierre-Augustin Tillit Head of CIB CyberDefense, BNP Paribas

Kavi found several profiles for my team, most of them well adapted to the job. When no other head hunter has profiles to propose, I’ve been astonished several times that Kavi is the one who will come with a solution – or several!

In addition, he’s very active and never drops a case. Dramatically efficient!

Yves Le Floch Head of Cybersecurity Sales, Capgemini

For our first collaboration, Kavi quickly identified several profiles that matched our expectations. He ensured a very tight follow-up of the recruitment process, with an approach that increases the chances of success for both parts.

His knowledge of the cyber-security recruitment market is certainly an advantage for company that seek such skills today.

Laurent Amsel Group CISO, Carrefour

I can really recommend Kavi Kumar and Silverdale Partners. He helped us target and secure a very strategic position. The process was professional all along the way.

Joakim Palmertz Client Partner, Sogeti

I have worked with Kavi since 2017. He has been my exclusive supplier for senior and leadership profiles across Europe.

He has a good understanding of the security market and asks relevant questions to define the full scope of the position. I always receive great candidates who are well briefed and have the right cultural fit.

Kavi is smart, professional and quickly grasps my hiring challenges. I highly recommend Kavi and will continue to work with him as a trusted partner.

Renaud Templier Group Vice President – Cyber Trust, Devoteam

Kavi has supported me in finding talent. He is extremely fast, analytical and thorough and manages the overall process with lots of structure and deep understanding of the industry.

Michael Hanspach Head of Trust & Cyber Security Germany, Devoteam

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kavi for the past few months. He has always been highly responsive and determined, never giving up on a challenge!

Even though I was clear about what I needed, he took the time to dive deeper, ensuring a thorough understanding of my requirements. In doing so, he identified key areas that needed further clarification, allowing us to better target the right candidates for a perfect match.

I highly recommend Kavi to anyone seeking recruitment services and open to a thoughtful, strategic approach.

Rémi Kouby Director, Cybersecurity, CGI Business Consulting

I had the privilege of collaborating with Kavi Kumar as a client, and I can say without hesitation that he is an exceptional professional.

Our working relationship has always been built on trust, mutual respect, and open communication. Kavi consistently impressed me with his proactive approach and his ability to understand and solve complex challenges, even in demanding environments. He combines strategic vision with meticulous execution, ensuring that every project or initiative exceeds expectations.

What truly sets Kavi apart is his ability to build strong and authentic relationships with his clients. He brings positive energy, attentive listening, and a genuine commitment to creating value in every interaction. Working with him has always been a pleasure, both professionally and personally.

Kavi is an extraordinary individual with whom I was able to develop a true client-supplier partnership. He is someone I will continue to work with over time, regardless of the company I am with.
