Don't Take Our Word For it
“After putting our ‘Head of Emerging Payments’ role for Middle East & Africa out to the PSL for over 2 months, without success, we commissioned ML to assist with the search process. ML certainly impressed us with their approach and output. After qualifying and understanding the requirement, they went on to send 4 very relevant profiles within 2 days (all being headhunts from across the world with the right payments experience). Then, after we interviewed 3 out of 4 candidates, an offer was made and the person subsequently joined the organization. Throughout the engagement, ML was very attentive and professional, adding tangible value to what had been a very difficult search process”.
VP Human Resources – MasterCard
“As a Payment System Consultant, I have been working with ML for seven years. My team and I have been placed to cover several large client migrations in teams sourced significantly by ML. The experience was excellent every time. ML excels at finding high quality resources and placing them with companies in a win-win situation. The collaboration with ML has always been open and professional, based on trust. ”
Dan Bulacu – Payments Consultant
“I just wanted to drop you all a note to say thanks for all your efforts. This is the second time I’ve consulted through ML and you all make the experience so stress-free and easy to handle. I wish more consultancies were like you – you’re number 1 in my list that I want to work with (by a huge margin).”
Mark Goodliff – Contractor
“The requirements were indeed tough! Looking for testing specialists with specific transaction flow / ISO8583 experience. Originally released to 7 agencies on our PSL, with zero success. ML was referred to us, who have now become incremental to our recruitment process with regards to the standard of candidates sent. ML have become the benchmark for standards and service for all other agencies on our PSL”
Resource Manager – Visa Europe
“is always difficult changing from a permanent employee to the world of contracting. I am now on my fourth successive contract placement through ML. It’s rare to have dealings in any business with this sort of commitment and care.”
James Broadbent – Contractor
“As we both know the requirements we gave you and the timelines you had to meet were both very tough. Nevertheless you have brilliantly accomplished this task and contributed a lot to the success of the project. Your expertise in the EFT industry and experience in hiring professionals for this field are outstanding. I look forward to continuing this partnership.”
Resource Manager – Euronet Worldwide
“For my current contract I had a call from ML early in the morning, interview that same afternoon and had the role by dinner! It was most impressive. The most competent recruiter I have come across in 24 years of contracting.”
