"I was impressed by the thoughtful and detailed preparation throughout  the entire process. It made the work of everyone involved much easier.  Sophia enriched the process with relevant observations and guidance,  while always remaining very sensitive to her role. Her empathy and  professionalism were greatly appreciated by both the selection panel and  the interviewees."

"Sophia speaks human and it feels like she isn’t trying to sell you something, she’s trying to find an authentic and successful match for all parties. She really stood out among the contractors I’ve worked with as an employer, and among those I’ve worked with as a prospective candidate." Mary Fitzgerald, placed candidate for Executive Director at CommsHub

"Throughout the process, the information provided was clear, timely and comprehensive, showing transparency and genuine respect vis-à-vis the candidates. To me this is the kind of process that focuses on making it possible for candidates to be at their best, and allows for real exploration of how candidates and employers are good fit for each other.  There was also such care showed towards candidates throughout, which is particularly appreciated, especially in a moment when job search is too often disempowering." Evelyne Paradis, placed candidate for Co-Director at European AI & Society Fund
