  • “Kirsty and the team at PartnerWise have recruited over 12 leadership roles within our EMEALA organisation over the past 4 years. These were at Director, Snr Director and VP level across various functional areas including ecommerce, sales, merchandising, HR and planning. Kirsty has taken the time to understand our business and build relationships with key stakeholders, which coupled with her in-depth market knowledge and connectivity globally has enhanced the talent level of our organisation. Over and above this, Kirsty’s down to earth, collaborative and honest style is refreshing within the recruitment world. I would highly recommend PartnerWise for executive search within the global fashion space.“

    ADRIAN HOLLOWAY | SVP EMEALA | Crocs

  • “I had the pleasure of working myself with Kirsty who supported me in finding the role I am in today. The process was really positive! I also get to work with Kirsty in sourcing talents for open roles in my organization but also to support my close network when looking for new opportunities. Kirsty is a great listener and has a special talent in matching the right candidate profiles with the right company / role and ensure the culture fit is truly right. This is really what she excels at: ensuring the perfect match not only from a skill set point of view but also from a cultural / personality point of view.“
