In both situations, I enjoyed the great professionalism of the BlackBook team, they are very detail orientated and were able to fully understand the opportunities in their various dimensions. They succeeded in identifying rare talent with high potential whose skills and styles matched the organisation. I would recommend BlackBook for any organisation looking at recruiting high profile candidates in the luxury industry as well as other sectors."
