“The indirect tax world is very small, but recruiting in such a niche sector can present challenges for organisations. I’m driven by being the problem solver.”
Why Work with Alex?
- Candidates trust him. 79% of Alex’s placed candidates to date worked exclusively with him during their job search and didn’t feel the need to make direct applications or approach other recruiters.
- Clients trust him. 70.4% of Alex’s business comes from repeat clients and, from this portfolio, 61.5% went on to engage him on a retained or exclusive basis.
- Alex holds a 100% success rate on all retained or exclusive assignments.
- On average, Alex will touch 130-200 passive candidates in a search (it’s rare to find a top VAT specialist on a job board!). In fact, 66% of his placed candidates were not actively job searching before Alex contacted them.
- With at least one third of his placements being cross-border moves, Alex sources both the domestic and foreign markets to ensure that no stone is left unturned in any search assignment.
