Kilian has been assisting MaxCap in its recruitment efforts since 2016. Of the twenty-four employees he has placed with us, twenty remain with the company to this day. Kilian has proven to be a trusted recruitment partner that will go the extra mile to find the best fit possible. He has never shied away from ‘hard to fill’ mandates, and he has never failed to deliver a successful outcome on an exclusive mandate. I have no hesitation in recommending Collins Executive Recruitment to clients and candidates alike.
