Corrina Langelaan
Director Communications and Media

“Lyndsey is, quite simply, one of the best recruiters I have ever used.  She does an amazing job really getting to know her clients and what will work for them, both for the individual hiring managers, as well as the entire hiring organisation.  She is incredibly astute, and able to quickly get to the nub of the unique gaps that her clients are looking to fill – and then find people to fill those gaps! 

Lyndsey consistently goes above and beyond – she is so customer focused and ever reliable – she will not yet you down!  Lyndsey is also extraordinarily generous.  She really believes in connecting good people, and will go out of her way, often doing extra value adding things, to support her clients and her network.  Above all of this, Lyndsey is a total delight to deal with – she is kind, fun and she gives well-considered and highly valuable advice.  I could not recommend her highly enough! ”
