Rose is an incredible recruiter. I had a great experience working with her during my interview process with Topaz. She was responsive, attentive, flexible, and effective. Throughout the process she kept me in the loop with everything that was going on, and she was very quick to get back to all of my questions. She always provided clear updates on status in a timely manner. Excellent experience.

Matt is the best recruiter I've ever worked with. He's smart, competent, responsive, and has a great personality. Mat took time to understand exactly what I was looking for, suggested a few very relevant opportunities, and provided valuable insights about the companies. Also helpful was knowing he placed some of the people I would be working with at those companies. Next time I need a new job Mat will be the first person I talk to.

Nicolas approached me a few months ago and connected me to some companies very related to interests and skills. He did a great job understanding what I am looking for and what I am asking for. He does not only expand your network but follow you through this journey to make sure you landed where you want to. he makes sure to link you to the right teams in the hiring companies and respect your deadlines. I also connected a friend to him and will do in the future.

It was absolutely great working with Julia. She is thoughtful and caring. She pays attention to what the candidate and clients want and make sure there is a good matching.

Haytham Elfadeel Senior Engineering Manager at Cruise

I must have had hours of conversation with Rose throughout the whole process. As it was my first time looking for a full-time job, I had very many questions, and Rose was very patient in answering all of them. She also carefully listened to my concerns throughout the process and provided great guidance. I felt very comfortable working with her. I also interacted briefly with Molly and Matt from Acceler8, and they were both very helpful too. If you are working with Rose or Acceler8, I'm confident that you're in good hands.

Japser Tan Computational Imaging Research Engineer at GLASS Imaging

I was happy with my previous employer but open to a new adventure. I spent about an hour in total speaking with Matthew, and that time was well spent. Matthew carefully understood my experience in chip design and worked in the background to bring a few well-matched openings to my attention, including an especially exciting opening that led quickly to an offer. If you're a technology expert looking to find the ideal opportunity on you own terms, I highly recommend spending some time talking to Matthew and letting him do the hard work of the search for you.

Nick is one of the best recruiters I’ve had the pleasure to work with! He knows the AI startup space like the back of his hand and is really willing to work with candidates in order to find the best position for them! I cannot recommend him enough and had a fantastic experience with his entire team! He is very willing to tell it like it is and keeps things professional but lighthearted! For a week straight the two of us have exchanged phone calls and emails from as early as 8:30 am to 9:00pm at night. He checked in at every step of the process and always had wonderful insight to add. If you get a message in your LinkedIn inbox from Nick, count yourself lucky because you have an excellent advocate in your corner! Truly a best in class!

Mat is a rare find among recruiters. In fact, he could be better described as an agent who acts in your best interest. He guides you and keeps you updated throughout the entire hiring process, from searching for openings to negotiating offers. He has an innate sense of what roles would be a good match for you, which saves you a lot of time and stress. He also understands the technologies and the cultures of the companies he works with, so he can be your biggest resource during interview prep. Moreover, Mat's positive and energetic personality makes him an absolute pleasure to work with.

Laszlo Kindrat AI Compiler Engineer at Modular

Nicolas went above and beyond in helping me land my new role. After seeing my resume, he precisely selected candidate roles for my key strengths. He was invaluable in following up with interviewers and aligning deadlines for best leverage. I must say, Nicolas set a new benchmark, which I will now demand from other recruiters.

Peter Hizalev Head of ML Compiler and Runtime at Stealth Mode Startup

Nick is an amazing recruiter! He is very well versed in the AI startup space. His professionalism and attention to detail were instrumental in helping me navigate my job search. He was able to accurately match my skills and experience and help me get relevant interviews. Nick is truly exceptional at communication. He kept me updated at every stage of the recruitment process. He checked in regularly to make sure I was progressing through the recruitment stages. His guidance and support were invaluable. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Nick.

Matthew Ferdenzi is an example of how recruiting should be. Finding great matches between people and open positions is very challenging and I believe that Matthew really excels at this. In my case, for instance, Matthew connected me with an amazing team for a perfect role that not even I would have considered a match based on the job posting. Beyond the talent for finding the right opportunities for the right candidates, Matthew is a honest, experienced and resourceful recruiter, who is always ready to help candidates navigate their option while making important life-changing decisions. These qualities are even harder to find and so I cannot be more supportive of Matthew and his business. In summary, I truly believe that Matthew has the ability to build extraordinary teams and help both candidates and companies make the right decisions.

Paolo Mantovani Senior Software Engineer at Google Research

Matthew did an excellent job in finding me a role that matched exactly what I was looking for. My case was special as I had some years of experience in various IT fields, which usually makes decisions much more difficult to take. Even though, Matthew managed to achieve what a conventional recruiter usually fails to do - he listened carefully to my strong points, my views and dreams... and then, he analysed my skills using his exceptional filtering ability to suggest a hierarchically ordered set of candidate positions from his broad portfolio. But wait, every recruiter is doing that, right? Hm... Matthew's blend of knowledge in Machine Learning, Encryption, Blockchain, even core Java makes the difference... I don't know how he is doing it, but this is the thin line that distinguishes between experienced and skilful recruiter from the mass; this guy is a pro. I would highly recommend Matthew and will not hesitate to use him again in the future.

Kostas Kryptos Co-Founder at Mysten Labs

Luke has been one of the best recruiters I have worked with. He is very out-going and does his homework to make sure the candidate would be a good fit for the role he is trying to fill. He is in constant contact with candidates to make sure they are getting the information they need to make their decision. Kudos Luke!

Erik Unterborn Principal Layout Engineer at Stealth Start-up

Nick helped me with a role I was considering. Throughout the process he was very open, transparent, and supportive and he could very clearly understand and follow my thought process. He was always available via phone/email and very quickly followed-up after every step of the process. Working with him was a very positive experience for me.

Hamid Reza Zohouri HPC Systems Engineer at KLA

Luke is one of the absolute best recruiters I have ever worked with! Luke helped me land interviews with three companies and guided me throughout the the interview process. Luke is an expert in his field and a pleasure to work with. The best thing that I liked about Luke is that he promptly kept me updated about all the developments throughout my interview process. I was particularly impressed by the way Luke negotiated offers with the companies on my behalf. As a recruiter, Luke earns my highest recommendation and I firmly believe any organization would be lucky to have Luke as their recruiter.

Mandeep Grang Compiler Engineer at Meta

Markus approached me for a position (which I ultimately secured) as a software engineer at a leading quantum computing startup. He is a consummate professional and walked me through each stage of the interview process. He proactively communicated with me along the way and helped to make the interview process painless and transparent. I look forward to working with him in the future and would recommend him to anyone moving into the quantum computing field.

Fionn Malone Quantum Engineer at QC Ware Corp.

Markus brought to me the more than ideal role I was looking for. The stuff of dreams. Working with him was very easy. Respect, full transparency, competency & timeliness ( knowing when to accelerate and when to dial it down) are all the ways Markus clearly differentiates himself. I am lucky to have gotten his call. He brings the best for the best! I wish Markus every success and joy in building game-changing teams.

Swapna Iyer ML Compiler Engineer at Lightmatter

Markus and I worked together recently for a machine learning applied scientist position. He found me an ideal role that perfectly matched my background and expertise. Working together went smoothly; Markus is extremely professional, courteous, and responsive. I look forward to working with Markus again in the future, and cannot recommend him enough to others seeking employment.

John Halloran Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon

Markus was very helpful to me in my search for a job in quantum technology. I found him well-informed about the industry and receptive to my priorities and concerns. The entire process, from him reaching out to me initially to a final offer, was smooth, efficient, and friendly, and he facilitated direct and effective communication between me and the company. I would highly recommend Markus to anyone looking for a position in this space and would be happy to work with him again in the future.
