'I’d like to thank you very much for your efforts over the months prior to this, and am very grateful that you applied as much energy to the process as you displayed.  I have never had such a positive experience with a recruiter, as this one.  Head and shoulders, way above all other encounters.'

Andrew Vamvakaris, Development Manager,  Property Development Company, UAE

'Jamal and Victoria from Carmichael Fisher are amongst the best recruitment consultants I have dealt with.  I was kept up to date on progress at all points in the process and their advice and assistance were second to none.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Carmichael Fisher to any candidate seeking a senior placement.'

Alicia O'Gradfdy, Deputy Director, Student Recruitment, Griffith University 

'Your diligence in keeping in touch is a credit to you; when compared to others you stand out head and shoulders above the pack.  If I need a recruitment agent in the future on a personal need or if, in my new role, staff are required, I will give you a call.'

'Peter is an exceptional Recruitment Professional. I have been in the IT industry for 25 years and have not met any recruitment consultant who is even close to Peter's quality and standard. If you are from overseas and want to find work in Hong Kong, Peter will not only find you a job, he will go out of his way to help you settle down such as offering advice on accommodation etc. He will treat you as a person, with respect!'

'I wanted to express my gratitude for the services provided by Grant and Carmichael Fisher Executive Recruiters.  In the past I have had frustrating experiences with recruiters.  Not so with Grant. His professionalism, manner and persistence have been first rate.  The number one attribute I value in recruiters is communication and Grant never waivered in his consistent communication with myself and Jetstar to secure this role.  I had complete confidence in him and admired his persistence and ultimately the result it produced for all parties.   I will certainly be enthused in referring my numerous networks to Grant White and Carmichael Fisher's services.'

Edward Wilson, Jetstar to Grant White, Melbourne

'Carmichael Fisher identified an opportunity aligned with my long term career objectives. This ability to align employer and candidate's  aspirations, not just skills and experience sets them apart from their competitors'.

James White, Partner,  Ineum to Jamal Khan, Melbourne

 'The team at Carmichael Fisher impressed me from the start to the very end of the recruitment process for the role that I am currently in - the job / person profile was clearly explained - not vague and ambiguous like many others from other Executive Search organisations.  Prior to meeting the client, my initial interview with the team was professional, relaxed and critically, open and honest - I was impressed by the amount of time spent with me and their desire to understand both my career background and most importantly, my possible fit within my future employer's company (their client) - the fact that they had an intimate knowledge and understanding of the client's organisation and core values impressed me greatly. 

Throughout the interview process I was always well briefed, well prepared and contacted frequently to keep me up to date in the process and to brief me on the next stage.  Again, the latter was invaluable for me and something that consultants elsewhere conduct, sometimes, in a little recidivistic fashion. 

Finally, as the process moved towards offer, I was again spoken to on a regular basis and I truly did feel that the team at Carmichael Fisher were working for both their client and for me - not an easy balance but successfully executed by Carmichael Fisher.'

D.J. Sales and Marketing Director, US multinational manufacturing business

'Peter is an exceptional recruitment professional. I have been in the IT industry for 25 years and have not met any recruitment consultant who is even close to Peter's quality and standard.  If you are from overseas and want to find work in Hong Kong, Peter will not only find you a job, he will go out of his way to help you settle down such as offering advice on accommodation etc.  He will treat you as a person, with respect!'

Sammy Wong, Director, IT Company to Peter Udall, Hong Kong

'I dealt with Carmichael Fisher for two job postings in the past two years. Both have been very positive experiences.  Information flow abut the job offered and communication was smooth and open from day one until the very end of the process.  I had the chance to meet all of the critical stakeholders giving me a full perspective of the opportunity and eventually this supported my decision to take the role.  Overall a very professional approach.'               

GS, Managing Director, Global Manufacturing Business, UK

'Thank you for the support and effort that I have been given by yourself and your team.  I cannot rate highly enough the professionalism and friendliness that I experienced with Carmichael Fisher, that I can safely say, I have not experienced previously with any other Executive Search firm. I have been pleasantly surprised by the personal and courteous manner that I have been treated to from the start of the process to my successful placement.  Whilst the interview process was not the conventional one, including two continental flights, several moved and re-scheduled appointments, all of which were at short notice, and at every turn everything was dealt with without fuss and things just worked, and worked very well. I would like to thank you and the team very sincerely for the excellent service, and whilst I suspect that you do not need it, I wish you all the success for the future.'                                                                                                                                            AC, Operations Director, US Multinational Manufacturer, Europe

'Jamal and Victoria from Carmichael Fisher have been superb to deal with in placing me in my new role.  They always kept me informed and were prompt in answering  any queries I had.  Their life was made more difficult as I was an overseas candidate but they handled all aspects of the appointment very well.  Jamal also gave me advice to help with my relocation which has  been incredibly helpful.  I would not hesitate in recommending them.'                                                                                John Mills, Director, Student Recruitment, Griffith University, Australia.                                                                           

'I would like to thank you for all of the work you did in finding a new home for me and my clients.  Having run my own practice for 11 years this was a difficult decision for me to make so it was reassuring to find a firm who listened precisely to what it was that I was looking for.  Having identified my requirements you then sourced potential firms who you felt would suit me.  This saved me a great deal of time.  Ultimately you found a  firm who fitted all of the criteria I gave you.         I would not hesitate to recommend you to other professionals as I know you will look after them.'                                                 SG - Partner, UK Law Firm.

'I had a terrific journey with Paul Gleeson of Carmichael Fisher.  Paul was in tune with my KPI's  and in tune with Visy's KPI's. Paul managed to communicate between the two parties with a very beneficial outcome.'                                                     John Frederico National BDM, Visy Australia
