I was a new transplant to Melbourne seeking a position in a real estate finance firm and Kilian was expertly informed of the market, opportunities, and where my skills fit best. He helped tailor my approach and coached me when pursuing opportunities to highlight my strengths. His communication skills are excellent and would highly recommend working with Kilian on your future endeavours.

Kilian made my recent transition to a new role and career side-step a rewarding experience. He kept me well informed during the process, provided me with valuable insight ahead of interviews and during the contracting period. He always had time to answer my questions about the role and had my best interest in mind throughout the process. He has a lot of knowledge about positions in the M&A / financial advisory industry and provided me with insightful guidance regarding my career progression.

Kilian is an exceptional recruiter. He is professional, attentive and highly aligned with his candidates. From the first pre-interview phone call to the last, he guides his candidates through the recruitment process. Previously, I had had average experiences with recruiters, and Kilian has completely changed my opinion of the industry. Thanks again for all your help Kilian.
