Leif Penn — AMAZON WEB SERVICES
My partnership with Progression covered the following key areas which made our collaboration fruitful. They have a good grasp of MetaMap’s Business.: Whether it is our company vision, goals and mission, the nature of our business, ie eKYC & Compliance & Risk and also our Ideal Customer Profiles. They are aligned with our priorities across the 1 – 3 years goals and plans, our desired profile of reps from AE, BDR & SE and there is an adherence to strict timelines & budget of hires The search effort was fast and yet comprehensive. Detailed candidates’ profiles gathering, so that informed decisions can be made Candidates from relevant & related industries Structured & methodological approach to screening, scheduling of interviews & shortlisting By & large all candidates were a good fit to the requirements of roles across SEA for AE, BDR & SE. I would rate outcomes of hires with Progression a 9/10 PS team were subject matter experts in the field of talent acquisition for the tech vendor market, which grew my confidence as we journeyed in our engagement. Their professional attitude & approach exhibited at all times created a conducive environment that grew crucial trust between vendor & client. All PS team members assigned under Josephine’s leadership achieved all the outcomes we had planned, ie talent profile fit, timelines & budget. We made amazing progress in a mere 3 months with the finalization of 12 x hires from 11 x different companies in 3 x countries, which made engaging them a great justification. . Charles Yong – General Manager, South East Asia Jo and her team have a good breadth of knowledge in the region as well as a good visibility into the tech market. The quality of the candidates submitted were excellent profiles across various skillsets from leadership level, field sales, pro serv as well as corporate function roles. The difference from other agencies is that I love the fact that I can communicate with the consultant who is supporting me daily right here in Singapore, regardless of where in SEA the search might be required. They take feedback well – getting calibrated with Amazon’s hiring isn’t done in a day but they had demonstrated tenacity to get what my business needs are.
