Hear what our clients and candidates have to say
“I really appreciate the focused approach to candidate selection. They filled several key positions in Tech and Security with very strong candidates. The candidates are settling in well and raising the bar.”
Frank A - client
Ex-CTO, Rain
"I’m delighted to share our experience working with the team at Talent Sherpa in the search for a Chief Technology Officer.  The recruitment process was thorough and tailored. VJ took the time to understand our culture and the unique challenges we face, allowing him to present candidates who not only had the right technical skills (rare!) but also fit seamlessly with our team. Ultimately, we found an outstanding CTO who is already making a significant impact on our organisation."
Julia B - client
VP of HR, IOL
VJ has truly been the backbone for Tech recruitment, he really went above and beyond getting to know his stakeholders, understanding the pain points. VJ really has the DNA for speed and agility, in my humble opinion he is like a machine who doesn’t give up until he finds the best candidate in the market. (Resilient).
Usman A - client
VP Talent Acquisition, Cafu
"I had the pleasure of interacting with VJ closely for a couple of months. He was always there to help with any information and queries I had. He made sure the entire process was transparent and smooth. Later, he checked on me from time to time to ensure I am well settled and comfortable in the new job and location. Highly recommend his services."
Srikanth B - candidate
Senior Backend Engineer
"VJ reached out to me for a position and from the start was incredibly professional, friendly and helpful. The transition from interview to onboarding was smooth with VJ, and he communicated from both sides with speed and clarity. I really respected and appreciated his care and transparency from the start of the process, which showed that I could really trust him. Questions from my side were answered (sometimes outside of working hours) within minutes which shows that VJ really does care about his clients. I’m so happy he reached out to me in the first place, and couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you for everything VJ!"
Mark C - candidate
Compliance Officer | MLRO
"VJ was an absolute game-changer in my job hunt. He genuinely cares about finding the right fit, not just filling a role. His transparency, and insightful advice made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend VJ to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly goes above and beyond!"
