Client Testimonials

Marios Mamzeris

Chief Operations Officer & Blockchain Director at Confidential client

“In my work, I have to deal with many recruiters, and in my experience, there are some good recruiters, but only a few are great. Sam is one of them. Sam will go above and beyond to research the market for the right people when you need them, plus accommodate any timelines or intricacies to get the interviews done. I’ve worked with Sam for hiring some of the best people in our company, from within the UK and overseas. From a Fintech’s perspective, Sam and his office are a must-have in your search for the right talents, and a pleasure to work with him at all times.”

Mia Agova

Head of Comms at DappRadar

“There are still few comms professionals in the crypto space and, as such, we tend to get hounded by recruiters quite aggressively, with a one-size-fits-all approach. Though flattering to an extent, this can be quite unpleasant. Sam and his team do things differently. It was all about dialogue, about matching my needs, expectations, priorities and personality with those of the team that I’m currently working with and absolutely adore. A perfectly tailored service, with no pressure, no FOMO tactics, full transparency, updates every step of the way. They worked as much for me as for their client and I could not recommend them highly enough. This is a sustainable way to recruit and one that will no doubt help cement their reputation as leaders in the competitive field that tech and blockchain recruitment is.”

Global Head of HR

“Sam is a very good communicator, hardworking and extremely good at solving problems. He gets to the bottom of every issue that he faces and finds quick solutions cleverly and on time. I appreciated his recruitment expertise in finding me the Global Head of HR role in London at a Crypto exchange. Since accepting the role, I worked closely with him and his team who helped us recruit over 60 staff globally within a matter of months. He is always very responsive both in and outside working hours, even at weekends, and his work ethic helped up to solve our staffing issues in a rapidly evolving, fast pace industry. I would recommend him to any organisation within the Crypto space looking to hire tech and non-tech candidates at scale.”

Anna – Director of Operations – Chiliz

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sam, who contacted me about a fantastic opportunity for which I was a superb fit. The entire process from end to end was seamless, incredibly well thought out and executed, not only from my perspective, but from the point of view of my inbound company. Not only were skills and experiences matched very well to the role, but also personality and ‘Team Fit’. Each stage was discussed and feedback given in a very timely and thorough manner. Sam is a stand-out and incredibly talented person and I will absolutely work with him again, either from a recruitment or a placement seeker’s perspective. The professional and personal-touch nature of Sam’s expertise is second to none. Thank you, Sam!

Emma Diskin

Group Chief Operating Officer at Chiliz & Socios.com

“Without a shadow of a doubt, Sam is one of the best crypto headhunters in the game and has consistently delivered high quality, superstar candidates. What sets Sam apart from others is his uncanny knack of understanding the brief and understanding how a candidate will ‘fit’ within an organisation. He is methodical and takes time to fully understand and interrogate the quirks of a role through open feedback and honest dialogue. He has an excellent network, is a consummate professional and I would absolutely recommend him to any organisation looking to hire in the crypto / blockchain / web3 space, particularly for complex or senior roles.
