Adam's Perspective

I have a keen, personal passion for the Sports Nutrition sector and have built personal relationships with many clients and candidates over the years. This helps me understand the culture and values companies recognise within the industry. Alongside working in a very competitive construction sector, I have found that it is key to understand clients’ requirements, especially in a very fast-paced environment.

What Our Clients Say About Adam

"Adam is a highly recommended recruiter. I have been able to deal with him while looking for my new challenge and am happy to trust him now to strengthen our team. He is proactive, has a wide network and is able to catch exactly what is required to connect the right candidate to his future employer."

Manuel Boerwanger

Project Manager at Sottas SA

"Adam acted on my behalf in negotiating my position with DMC Walling. All through he acted with total professionalism whilst not being officious. He managed me and DMC and brought us together, fulfilling both our expectations. He understood the requirements of DMC whilst exploring my potential and ended up matching us up perfectly. I can honestly say it was a pleasure dealing with Adam, being one of the very few recruitment agents that were there for both sides rather than just trawling for CVs, which most agents seem to do nowadays." It must be said that there are good recruitment agents out there and Adam is one!

Svetlana Dzambova

Facade Designer at Vision Arch

The initial contact was handled professionally, and communication was consistent, transparent, and proactive throughout the process. I appreciated the constant updates and feedback after each call with Staticus. The entire hiring process duration was just right—not too long or short. Lengthy procedures can demotivate, while shorter ones can induce anxiety. Overall, the recruitment process gave me a very positive impression of Spencer Riley, and I would surely recommend them to other job seekers.

We have filled a number of difficult and critical positions with the help of Adam and will continue to do so."
