Client Testimonials
“I manage the Global Recruiting Team for the adidas Group at the World of Sports in Germany. I contacted Neil Oviatt in early 2010 to discuss using his Recruiting services as a "precaution" in the event the growth in our Retail business required support outside of the adidas Search Team's capacity. After speaking with Neil about his approach and process to recruiting top level talent in the Retail industry, I was convinced he would be an excellent "extension" to the adidas organization. His communication style is clear and authentic. He has a "can do" attitude coupled with a candidate-centric mentality which is imperative as a brand ambassador for the adidas Group. In addition, I've learned that one of Neil's key strengths is navigating the many layers and complexities of the adidas organization. He has quickly and successfully adapted to the various styles of key stakeholders and has managed to be highly effectively throughout the Recruitment process.
Neil has proven himself as a valuable resource to the adidas brand and we look forward to continuing our partnership with him in the future.

They regularly issue the right candidate first time and have achieved at least two candidates, one placement on all occasions across a variety of supporting functions in retail, sales, contact centre and distribution. This has been achieved not purely through their personal management experience but taking the time to listen and understand the brand specifically. The service delivered has shown strong commitment to sourcing great candidates in a tough environment, professional and honest with strong communication, they have provided the highest level of support.”

Candidate Testimonials
"Finally a recruitment consultant that you would actually have a beer with! Its always a difficult balance in the recruitment industry as the client is paying you and the candidate is mostly incidental and there you are, as the agent, stuck in the middle between the unrealistic expectations of both parties, however Neil managed to do this. Highly communicative, supportive and with a great deal of integrity. For Neil it seems to be about relationship building and matching... quality versus quantity or the perfect candidate for the perfect opportunity. I've been a candidate and in the future I will definitely be a client as well as soon as the first opportunity arises"
