Coralie Rana
– Global Director, Remuneration and Benefits | MUFG Pension and Markets Services, Melbourne

“Simon recruited me recently for a Reward role in Melbourne. He was truly amazing to work with.

As either a candidate in the market or a line manager looking to recruit, I would strongly recommend both him and his firm to fill any role in the reward space. His understanding of both the role and my new company was impressively comprehensive, because since I commenced in the role I have found it to be exactly as he described. Additionally, Simon’s ability to partner with myself and the company was first rate, especially given that I was located in the US and others located across the UK and Australia. He worked across a number of hurdles to keep me always up to date on the process, next steps and expectations. Simon is extremely professional and gets my strong recommendation.” (2023)
