Testimonials

I recently worked with Tamara on a project to fill a Director position. Not only did she deliver a shortlist of high-caliber candidates, but she also showed a deep understanding of our organisation’s culture—critical to the success of the search. Her initiative, collaborative spirit, and attentive listening were especially impressive, ensuring the project was completed on schedule and with outstanding satisfaction for both the company and the interviewed candidates. This is definitely a partnership I look forward to continuing in the future.

We engaged Page Executive to recruit a Global Quality Director, and the process was successful primarily due to their extensive international database, which enabled the presentation of several strong internal candidates. On the other hand, the weekly update meetings allowed open, constructive discussions on progress and the pros and cons of individual candidates. Also, Tamara’s thorough understanding of our company, including its governance structure and unique challenges are highly appreciated. The selected candidate, an experienced French quality manager from the automotive industry, has proven to be an excellent fit after roughly one year in the role.

I had the pleasure of working with Tamara during a recruitment process for my current company. Throughout my career, I have never encountered anyone as dedicated and professional in supporting me through pivotal moments of transition. Tamara is highly experienced, organized, communicative, and genuinely supportive—an invaluable partner in the process. She is down-to-earth, positive, and realistic, with an instinct for finding solutions that benefit everyone involved. Her honesty and objectivity are refreshing, and her availability is remarkable; she is always there, any time of day or week, providing prompt feedback and even checking in when there is no update—a critical reassurance during negotiations. On a personal level, Tamara is simply delightful to work with, and I feel truly fortunate to have crossed paths with her in my career.
