We see Annette and L10N People as an extension of our own team

VistaTEC has been working with Annette since 2004 and throughout this time I have found her to be in a league of her own in comparison to other agencies. What makes them different from all the rest is their knowledge of our business, the partnership approach they take and not least their ability to deliver through hard work and dedication. 8 years on and myself and my colleagues on the VistaTEC management team see Annette and L10N People as an extension of our own team.

I highly recommend Annette and Lion People Global

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Annette since 2007. I’ve been on both sides, that of hiring manager and candidate. As a candidate, I was thoroughly impressed with the way I was positioned and coached for a senior role that I was hired for. Later I used Annette to find very specific skilled localisation talent at short lead times with the best-benchmarked pricing, enabling me to focus on my core tasks. I highly recommend Annette and Lion People Global.

Annette has been a valuable business partner of mine for 15+ years

She has helped me build sales teams in North America and the Asia Pacific, significantly decreasing the time to ramp with qualified, experienced candidates. Most recently, it has been a delight to be on the other side of the recruitment process as a candidate that Annette has placed! Her professionalism, her connectedness in the localization and digital marketing industries, her responsiveness, her overall knowledge of industry trends, are the characteristics for which I rely on Annette and look forward to future collaboration.

Annette was very diligent in following up on each meeting

I can highly recommend Annette to any potential candidate or employer. She is an extremely competent recruitment professional. Each opportunity Annette presented to me was tailored to the specifications I had laid out at the beginning of our engagement. Annette was very diligent in following up on each meeting and obtaining 360 feedback on each interview. This was crucial in improving my positioning in the market and ultimately helped in securing my current position.
