As a business leader your people are an essential route to your success. Adam truly grasps this and completely immersed himself into my business understanding the various goals and strategy. His ability to understand your needs and search through talent pools to find that match is incredible. Always working in an open and honest manner, Adam made things so easy. His knowledge of the marketplace and size of his network is astounding and as a result positions him well to best advise. I will certainly be reaching out to Adam for any future recruitment requirements.

Claire Evans, Global Marketing Manager at Wexer

Adam is a fantastic recruiter and it was a real pleasure to work with him. His industry knowledge is exceptional, he went above and beyond to make sure I was as well prepared as possible and supported me with any further insight or info I needed. It never felt like I was part of a 'recruitment process' but more like a friend helping me out and doing everything he could to make sure I secured the role.

Jeff Cooper, VP of Business Transformation at SweatWorks

Adam is a fantastic recruiter! I love that he's focused on the fitness and health space. Leaving "big tech" to focus on an industry that I'm passionate about was challenging. I knew people, but repackaging myself into this space proved challenging, even as I knew my capabilities. Adam opened doors with his fantastic (and growing) network. Where "normal" recruiters failed me, Adam excelled. If you are looking for a match in this space, I highly recommend dropping Adam a note. And likewise, if you're looking for that specific someone to fill a role, he's likely got a pool of people he can draw on for potential matches.

Blake Fletcher, UK Country Manager at Ifit (Freemotion, NordicTrack, Proform, Weider, Sweat)

I would highly recommend Adam for any individual or business looking to partner with, not only as a great recruiter, but a personable genuine guy that supports you all the way through the process.

Adam has been a superstar since I first spoke to him last summer and has been constantly speaking to myself about my next career move. Adam takes pride in the superior relationships he builds with his clients from day one and his professional attitude is an absolute pleasure to work with.

If your looking for help, guidance, and support, please reach out to Adam. Your next career move or partnership is only a message away!
