HEAR FROM COMPANIES WE HELPED HIRING

"I have known build+ for several years now and developed a very good relationship with them, especially their FinTech team. Their consultants work with a high sense of urgency and only introduce relevant candidates. What stands out the most though is their interview preparation; every candidate who comes is well briefed about our company, the role and the interview process."


OKO OKAMOTO, Country Manager

“I worked with Marcel Oka in this recent recruitment for IDEMIA Japan and I have always engaged his help when we have recruitment needs. Marcel knows. the industry, his clients and the candidates profiles. He shared 2-3 strong profiles as he knows quality is far more important than quantity. His follow-up is good and he fine-tunes when we provide feedback. Marcel listens to feedback and is a delightful recruitment consultant to partner with.”


JEANNIE PHUN, HR Director

“build+ has invested great time and effort into understanding our business and bilingual culture. Sometimes, our requirements might be very specific, so having build+ who understands the candidates in our niche and has a database of them to call upon has been reassuring. Working very closely with our Consultant meant that only candidates who are fully qualified for the role will be shortlisted for the position. They managed the process for us, omitting any unsuitable candidates and managing any queries about the role. As a result, we were able to reduce the time and in-house resources that we need to dedicate to recruitment. It has led to a quicker turnaround on filling the positions, which in turn leads to increased efficiency of the whole organization!”


AYAKA ITO, Operations Specialist

“A few different aspects.
1. Speed of hire - Quality candidates within a short period of time.
2. Consultant - Candidate coordination and prep - All introduced candidates had a very good understanding of the role and DW.
3. Closing - Transparency and straightforwardness about what was expected from the candidate and vice versa.
As well as there was a lot of pre-closing made so that there were no surprises at the offer stage.”
