First class service all round. One of the best executive recruiters and experiences I have ever had leading to a successful placement of a superb candidate from an exceptional shortlist. Very pleased and will use again without fail

I was recommended to contact Aruba from an ex-colleague in my network who had worked with Richard, as we had a senior appointment to fill. The service provided was second to none, Richard quickly understood our requirements, challenged what we were looking for and delivered a very strong shortlist where all the candidates were serious prospects. All in all, a successful search campaign with our first choice candidate secured. I will certainly be using Richard and his team again.
