Testimonials

Bringing in the best talent is one of the most important values that I have been able to offer to the different companies that I have worked for. Cristina Ródenas has been one of the key people collaborating with me in such task, mainly due to her great sector knowledge which facilitates identifying high potential candidates. Cristina’s interest in ensuring that she understands the company, its culture, etc., has been a major factor in the success in the incorporation and consolidation of such professionals in the organisations. Another of the characteristics that I most value in Cristina is the exquisite treatment that she gives to her candidates. Her flexibility, agility, constancy and ease of communication have helped me many times in closing difficult processes.
Fast-Fashion, HR General Manager, Multinational Company

Through these past ten years we have collaborated very closely with Cristina Ródenas and her team. Cristina has become another colleague; an extension of our own department, and an excellent ambassador for the company. Together with Cristina and the team of Page Executive, we have been able to internationalize the different areas of the Company with the necessary talent to face this new stage of expansion and growth in which we find ourselves. Her flexibility, expertise, positive attitude and values have converted her into a fundamental partner for our Human Resources area of the Group
Luxury, Chief People Officer, Multinational Company

I have worked with Cristina for some time now and we have always had great results in our recruitment processes. She understands completely the company’s needs and has an extensive network that makes the process much more agile, helping us finalise the placement in record time. What I most appreciate is the quick search and friendly partnership that Cristina offers. It is almost as if she formed part of our company rather than offering a service.
