In my role as hiring manager for Ericsson’s design department I have utilised RIZE as our partner for recruiting staff for several job positions within Ericsson Netherlands. I have experienced the RIZE Account Manager as a very driven and enthusiastic person who understood the job descriptions very well and was concerned about the wellbeing of their staff. It was a pleasure working with the team at RIZE.

It was a wonderful experience of working with RIZE

It was a wonderful experience of working with RIZE when I acted as Huawei's Columbus program PD. The Account Director was a very professional and passionate manager with enormous knowledge and huge networks in his domain. He is always ready to support my job by offering very meaningful advice and take concrete actions swiftly. I believe he is a trustworthy partner and I am very willing to work with him again should any opportunity arise.
