“To complete our expansion into the CEE region, we had a number of executive positions to
fill. After briefing Neumann International, I received shortlists of suitable candidates much
quicker than expected. I was sure, even after the first round of interviews in the first country,
that we would find strong candidates. Thanks to their rapid response and excellent
candidates, we placed the right employees in a short period of time.”
