Testimonials

“

We recently partnered with Peter on a Chief Product Officer role within our software portfolio. Peter was always professional, well prepared, and knowledgeable on the market and the candidates he presented. He had clearly taken the time to assess each profile in detail against the brief and continued to present options right up until we had secured our preferred candidate. I have recommended Peter to our wider portfolio since, and I am sure we will work with him again in the future as one of the best recruiters on the market.

At Miniclip, we’ve worked with Peter and Neon River on several important hires over the years, and we’ve always been very happy with the experience. I’d recommend Neon River as one of the very best executive search firms in the market.

I know Neon River well from both a client and candidate perspective and I've always found them to be highly professional and knowledgeable about the software industry. They are a great choice for any technology company looking to augment their leadership team.

Over the last few years Neon River has become our go to solution for critical hires. They've been instrumental in sourcing our CFO/COO, CMO, and Design Director. They have always given us lots of highly qualified candidates to choose from, making each process a delight!

“

I’ve worked with many executive search firms as a client over the years, and I rate Neon River highly. Their knowledge of the software and technology industries, and the companies and people shaping them is impressive. What sets them apart is not only their deep sector expertise and high-quality, Partner-led delivery, but also their strong international network and reach, which enables them to access exceptional talent across global markets. They consistently deliver with professionalism, insight, and impact."

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a trusted and capable executive search partner.
