The staff are personable, professional, and their screening and selection processes are thorough.

Ambroise Bobtcheff
International Sales Director, EMEA & APAC

"I had the chance to work with BlackBook on two specific occasions, as a candidate for my current position, and as a hiring manager in this role too. 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."
