CTO Executive Search Case Study in Proptech

A no-stone unturned approach from a candidate market map of 1400 candidates down to the successful placement.

TRUSTED BY…

“Richard is clearly passionate about the recruitment industry and very professional in his dealings with both clients and candidates. I have used his service for myself as a candidate and a client and on both occasions he has delivered well.”

HEAD OF HR

“Richard is unusual as a recruiter in that he not only knows his subject matter but actually does as he says, he takes an open and collaborative approach and genuinely engages in a professional and effective manner, easy to deal with an honest broker.”

HR DIRECTOR

The executive services provided by Richard and his team are second to none. Extremely diligent and thorough. A great shortlist provided for an executive role we were recruiting for. Timely communication throughout leading to a quick placement.

CEO

First class service all round. One of the best executive recruiters and experiences I have ever had leading to a successful placement of a superb candidate from an exceptional shortlist. Very pleased and will use again without fail

I was recommended to contact Aruba from an ex-colleague in my network who had worked with Richard, as we had a senior appointment to fill. The service provided was second to none, Richard quickly understood our requirements, challenged what we were looking for and delivered a very strong shortlist where all the candidates were serious prospects. All in all, a successful search campaign with our first choice candidate secured. I will certainly be using Richard and his team again.

CEO

“I would like to thank Richard Crossman, a senior director at Aruba Executive Search, he has provided superb mentoring in both development of my cv and in my approach to the next stage of my career. Further, he is passionate in wanting to help people succeed in their career and is willing to give the time to do this – now that counts”.

Richard provided valuable and usable guidance which I am certain improved my presentation and which ensured I could pitch my experience and skill set appropriately.”

OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

“Richard was one of a number of recruiters that I contacted at the start of my search for a new executive role. Richard’s response and actions provided the greatest level of help and assistance to me at a very important period in my job-search. Of all the recruiters I contacted, Richard was the quickest to respond, listened carefully to understand my situation and aspirations and was very generous with his time and experience in guiding the necessary rewrites in my CV and my Linked-In profile. A number of my ex-colleagues have also used the structures and language that Richard gave to me so his positive impact has had an extended reach! I am grateful for the help and advice that Richard provided to me and I would recommend him to future clients.”

EXECUTIVE BUSINESS LEADER

“If, like me, you believe that clear timely communication is the cornerstone of effective recruitment, then I can strongly recommend the Services of Richard at Aruba.”
