Emerald Technology

Emerald have a refreshing style and approach in dealing with their clients. They maintain a high degree of professionalism in a very consultative style, which worked well for me. They communicate regularly, but without being overbearing - a tricky balance to achieve in this industry. They work with top tier organisations and if you receive a call from Emerald, then they’re definitely worthy of your time and attention.

Emerald were chosen to deliver a number of key strategic hires for Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Alcatel chose Emerald because of their specialisation within the communications market place, combined with their knowledge and experience of hiring across this region. The team at Emerald were quickly able to establish a target list of organisations and individuals, and were able to make the hires in a short timescale. Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia continues to partner with Emerald to build the region, and I would strongly recommend them for any key hires.

Emerald are really able to question and understand my challenges and my company culture, and get to grips with my recruitment needs. They have now placed several people within the South Europe organisation, and I am confident with their judgment. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emerald’s services again, and in fact they are now one my favourite partners.

In the short time that I worked with Emerald, I’ve been greatly impressed by their
professionalism and drive. From the beginning, Emerald clearly explained every step along
the process in a recent job search, and did a great job matching my skills with the role. I’ve
never felt so prepared or so comfortable in a job search, and Emerald played a major role in
our mutual success.

Since our first introduction to Emerald Technology in January 2017, the team invested significant time to learn about our business, our growth strategy, and our unique requirements when launching a direct presence in the UAE. In less than one year, Emerald helped us recruit a brand new world class team in roles covering enterprise sales, inside sales, presales and services, and are continuing to support us as we open up new positions to support our customers in UAE and across the GCC.

Emerald has been both the most rewarding place I have ever worked and the most challenging. Personally, Emerald has enabled me to get on the career ladder, get married, have a child, travel to some amazing places and drive cars that I love (total petrol head).

The Emerald team has been an invaluable partner for us as we scale our global operations. From the onset, they took the time to become a trusted partner for us by seeking to fully understand our business, our product, and our value add in each specific region. The have been critical to our growth across sales and customer success in multiple countries and regions, including ensuring the placement of a leadership team in EMEA. Their commitment to understanding each position, hiring manager needs, and unique processes has allowed us to truly utilize Emerald as an extension of our team. As our exclusive search partner, I couldn’t be happier to continue to work with them as we grow.

Having worked with Emerald at Alcatel-Lucent prior to their acquisition by Nokia, it seemed natural to continue the relationship as Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise became a separate organisation spearheaded by new investors. Emerald have delivered for us on projects from individual contributor up to C-level in numerous regions globally. Their communication, professionalism and ability to source top quality candidates have led them to become our preferred retained search partner globally, and I am pleased to continue our partnership moving forward.

Having worked with Emerald whilst at Terracotta, it seemed a natural choice to choose them again as my Search Consultancy. Over the course of 12 months, Emerald have placed 18 individuals in to the business, from Sales and Presales, to Evangelists and VPs. They have also conducted this on a truly global basis making placements across EMEA, the US and APAC. They understand the quality of individual we require, and take a large burden away from my daily workload. I would recommend their service to all high growth software sales organisations.

When I read the shortlists presented, it showed me what a great job the team at Emerald have done for Qualtrics. They have delivered a world class sales team, and on a personal level, have my sincere thanks. Plus, we’ve had fun on the way! They really have built a great team here.

Emerald Technology has taken the time to understand our business so they can position us appropriately in the market. They have consequently found and attracted the right calibre of candidate for us in the last 18 months, and this has helped us accelerate our growth plans across EMEA.

I have been left with a very positive impression of Emerald's work. They have an extensive network within our market space, and all candidates presented have been of a very high quality. Emerald fit none of the off-putting stereotypes that I have often experienced with third party recruiters, and I definitely intend to work with them again.

It's no secret that we at CyberArk work with a number of recruiters, but for me, Emerald Technology is number one and is my preferred supplier. Their team have great personalities and are very comfortable to work with. Their level of presence is perfect - you always feel that someone is taking care of you, but in an unobtrusive way.

Emerald have an exceptional knowledge base and lateral thinking quality which means they produce quality of candidates. As either a candidate or a client, I can recommend Emerald to any organisation that wishes to grow in the market.

Emerald are my prime recruiter for specialist skills in the IP domain. I consider Emerald experts in the IP and telecom domain; they understand the business and culture of both the market and Ericsson.

I've worked with Emerald Technology several times, both as a customer looking for their services to help me hire great candidates, and also as a candidate. I very much enjoyed these experiences and would definitely recommend anyone to get in contact with them.

With Emerald's help, we have succeeded in recruiting a number of candidates. Emerald was amazing and we received an excellent service, professionalism for the whole process. I will definitely work with Emerald again in the future.

Emerald Technology have proved themselves to be outstanding. They are incredibly thorough - they know their candidates, they know the industry, and they know us as a business. The turnaround times on hires we give to Emerald are always superb, and their follow-up is impeccable.

What I really enjoyed about working with Emerald is the fact that they… really looked into the profile the customer was looking for and [were] really involved during the process, keeping in touch with me and advised me on what the customer was looking for and what to address. They really knew what the position was about and the type of organization they were searching for. Emerald really added a personal touch.

Very supportive and professional throughout the whole process. Everything was prepared and discussed for meetings – possible questions and answers, everything was covered. Emerald had very good communication throughout and always kept me up to date feedback… The role was exactly as described… Very positive feedback overall.

The Emerald team have really taken the time to understand our business structure, so that they can attract the right calibre of candidates, and convey our value proposition. With key strengths including communication, organisation and process management, they have been invaluable in reducing pressure on our internal recruitment teams.

My experience with Emerald was great. They demonstrated a really good knowledge of the market and the client. Extremely professional and did a great job… thank you.

The hiring process was perfect. Very good conversations, well timed, speedy process, and Emerald were very good at co-ordinating everything. Great first impressions, the new role is going very well so far.

Emerald were forthcoming in providing background information on the role and provided answers to my questions at every stage… always on hand to support at every step of the way. Emerald made this a straightforward process and I thank them for connecting with me as I am loving the business I am working for!
