My experience was very positive. Even before securing the role, I found the whole process very thorough and done with quality. I appreciate having a first interview face to face, as that is a really good way to filter through the candidates. What was valuable to me the most, was the regular contact with SpenglerFox and the calls prior to every interview to go over what I should prepare: learning about the interviewers, what they look for, and the preparation I should do before the interview.
|
|
| CD50 |
The team was great, very helpful and open.
|
|
| CD47 |
It was a professional work, done by professionals.
|
|
| CD42 |
I have been in contact with Agnes Szabo and Viktoria Fulop but I can tell both of them were very nice and helpful! They kept me informed about any changes during the selection process. I do liked working with you and surely, I will recommend your company to any of my friends/relatives. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness!
|
|
| CD35 |
One of very few organisations that provides constant feedback on recruitment progress. This is what the candidate for work appreciates most. Cheers for that.
|
|
| CD41 |
I really appreciate the direct communication and transparent dialogue I had with the recruiter. The continuous exchanged emails help me to follow successfully the recruitment process.
|
|
| CD39 |
The employees I dealt with at SpenglerFox were extremely professional. I guess to praise them directly: Nevin Belge and Mark Sharp - you were both great, especially Mark, whom I engaged with more often. They followed up each time between engagements and made me feel very comfortable and looked after during the whole process. I would certainly engage with Spengler again. I can't think of any areas for improvement! Well done.
|
|
| CD53 |
Positive experience: proactive approach, customer orientation.
|
|
| CD54 |
Exetremely professional and responsible company.
|
|
| CD55 |
SpenglerFox is a professional organisation, helped where help was needed and organised the meetings very well. The challenges all were overcome with the skills provided. I appreciate the help with my successful start.
|
|
| CD57 |
Spengler's Fox has : 1.Professional and high experienced officers 2.Professional approach and process 3.Detailed questions during the interview process.
|
|
| CD58 |
My experience with Spunglerfox was at a high professional level and this is not driven by the positive result but thanks to the serious and effective management from SF people in Greecee. I would highlight: the professional attitude, the quick follow-up (from different people due to holidays period), the feedback after each step of the process (and beleive me after 3 interviews, 4 calls with Bard people abroad and 1 web test, this was not an easy and quick hire) and the warm welcome. I really don't have any recommendations.
|
|
| CD60 |
I would like to highlight the professionalism of the Greek team. The handling of the whole procedure was really discreet and with a great interest from the SpenglerFox team. There was constant communication, help and support during the procedure, as well as after the end. I would be really grateful to cooperate again, if necessary, with SpenglerFox and I would strongly recommend to my friends and colleagues.
|
|
| CD62 |
I had a very good experience with Spengler Fox. The consultants are very helpful and professional, very responsive as well. I really felt that I had somebody to support me throughout the whole recruitment process. I was also getting very prompt feedback following each interview stage. Very glad to have collaborated with Spengler Fox indeed and I would highly recommend it to other people as well.
|
|
| CD63 |
I have been communicating more than 3 years with Spenglerfox and I'm really satisfied your services. Especially, your actual persons are very good communication skills and they're really professional.
|
|
| CD65 | I was very satisfied with the level of support and professionalism I've experienced from your partners in Prague office, especially Zdenek Dastlík. I appreciate his assistance in consulting best career opportunities and acting promptly to put me in touch. What I also appreciate was the level of honesty about pro's and con's of the offers and level of my experiences compared to job map requirements. It was very clear to me, that Zdenek works closely with my new employer as a client and establishes quality work relationship. Thank you for helping me to encounter new career opportunity! |
| CL267 |
One gets the feeling that SpenglerFox people really care about the client's needs, as well as about those of candidates, thus they truly work on a good match.
|
|
| CL254 |
It is great people that make a successful company. I've had the chance to work with such in SF. That made my experience great and the project a success.
|
|
| CL262 |
SpenglerFox or rather its consultant always strives to fully understand the role, the hiring manager, the needs, the challenges and this makes it easier to fit the candidate. Also the vast local market knowledge that SF's consultant has is an added advantage that can never be gained overnight. This is what makes SF a good local partner for executive search and /or talent mapping/pipelining.
|
|
| CL263 |
SpenglerFox was one of the best search partners I have ever worked with. World-in-class customer orientation and ability to deliver best-in-class candidates in a very short period of time and with great sense of urgency. Definitively a partner that I would recommend for middle management and executive searches.
|
|
| CL240 |
Professional services, the experience of the consultant in the FMCG market very much appreciated.
|
|
| CL237 |
The over all experience was very postitive, it was a smooth and fast recruitment process. We were receiving the right candidates for the job, so well done on the short listing of candidates.
|
|
| CL235 |
We were really impressed with the overall approach in all steps of our search. Speed, quality of information, responsivess, availability, execution... I will definitely recommend Spengler Fox for similar search in other companies and for sure it will be our first choice for our company in the future.
|

I really appreciated working with the team on this mandate. Not only for their good understanding of our needs and their good knowledge of the marke but also for their flexibility in adapting to our working style and for their stamina and positive spirit during all the different phase of the search.

My experience with SpenglerFox was truly excellent not just because of the happy end of this collaboration but mainly because of the professional way that Oana Gatu did her job. Thank you very much.
|
|
| CD96 |
I was absolutely satisfied with the service of SpenglerFox. I received useful advices before all interviews, which I really appreciated. I also got labour legal advice from SpenglerFox regarding my new working contract, and, what is very important, the velocity of the company is extremely impressive: I sent my new working contract proposal as I received from my new employer the executive of SpenglerFox and I received the legal advice in six hours! I think in today's fast world it is becoming more and more important to have the speed - and you have it!
|
|
| CD99 |
I have to congratulate Athens team for the way that they contact me. I have to admit that for any concerns, hesitations or problems that I have before and during the procedure, they were always next to me. I really apreciate them for all their effort, that made true a transfer that in the beginning seemed very difficult.
|
|
| CD105 |
SpenglerFox team demonstrated a high level of understanding of the Client and its needs. The team I worked with also approached the assignment with a great deal of personal touch and were very supportive to me as a candidate, which is rare these days as recruitment specialists tend to focus only on the hiring side, rather than bringing the two together. Was a true pleasure for me to deal with high caliber professionals such as SpenglerFox team are. Will definitely recommend to my contacts.
|
|
| CD66 |
My experience is that SpenglerFox is very professional. They understand the needs of the client and they are able to find candidates who have very good chance to be successful in a position.
|
|
| CD67 |
I have seen the SpenglerFox Team (people I dealt with are Agnes Szabo and Viktoria Fulop) as one of the most professional, recruiters I have been in touch with. Right information flow, prompt replies, always professional service. Highest level of satisfying clients!

I have particularly enjoyed working with Ms. Nikolett Dorko and Ms. Agnes Szabo from your Budapest office. Their professionalism and out-of-the box way of thinking was really impressive and was definitely a differentiating factor. I have recommended SpenglerFox to many of my friends already and will be coming back also as an employer because of this experience.
|
|
| CD72 |
Consultants were very supportive and generous in providing advice and feedback.
|
|
| CD75 |
It was a real pleasure to go through this process / journey with SpenglerFox Team (Ms Agnieszka and Iwona). I may say that there's been a lot of attention given to me. I had impression that I'm not only heard but listen... . Ms Agnieszka and Iwona were very professional, always willing to offer their assistance and invaluable advice, both Ladies demonstrated empathy and sincerity.
|
|
| CD77 |
During my professional career this search was my best experience I have had with any headhunter company. I felt 100%ly supported and helped throughout the whole procedure, I received continous feedback and the person I worked with did a great job. Personally I would recommend SpenglerFox to any of my friends based on that experience.
|

Our dedicated focus to care is the heart and soul of SpenglerFox. Our business is all about people. We provide opportunities and develop careers that, potentially, can change lives. To ensure that we take care and support everyone who engages with SpenglerFox, we have designed a whole system which is dedicated to one objective… care.
SpenglerFox never wishes to lose touch with local relationships, how they are being managed and how they are developing. Our consistent 360˚ approach to feedback allows SpenglerFox as a business to keep its finger on the pulse.
Care is the core of SpenglerFox’s culture. Our colleagues all share a common characteristic which is felt beyond the boundaries of local markets. Our truly global collaborative team are relentless in their efforts to develop strategies, for improving the engagement and experience for all who connect with SpenglerFox.
For our successfully placed candidates our commitment to care does not end once he or she is placed with their new employer. We stay in touch, as we understand both their journeys have only just begun.
Since November 2009, six SpenglerFox offices (Athens, Budapest, London, Moscow, Paris & Prague) have been sponsoring 7 children (orphans or unprivileged children) from Christ Orphanage in Ghana. Our donation provides food, education, accommodation and basic needs to these children. We are happy that our contribution offers these children education and helps them enjoy their childhood.
Our mission is about fulfilling organisational and human potential through connecting the world’s best senior talent to the world’s best companies. When we started to discuss Corporate Social Responsibility we asked our team “If you had a cause, any cause that you would like SpenglerFox to stand up for what would it be?” The answer was overwhelming. Our people said that the protection and the provision of equal rights to children across the world was the cause that they would most like SpenglerFox to stand up for.
As a UN organisation, UNICEF is the only inter-governmental agency devoted exclusively to children and is mandated by the world’s governments to promote and protect children’s rights and their well being.
If we are in the business of fulfilling organisational and human potential it follows that as an organisation and as citizens of communities all over the world, we do our utmost to ensure that children fulfil their potential to become the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Given that our operations span the globe the challenge was then to identify a partner that we could work with on a global and local scale to help us achieve our mission. It was during the summer of 2008 that our Managing Director, Mark Hamill, first came across the idea of working in partnership with UNICEF.
In July 2008 we completed our first pilot project in Warsaw. We organised and sponsored a conference on Talent Management, where we invited 40 top HR Managers from a variety of businesses. We also invited UNICEF Poland to come and speak at the event on CSR and their projects, giving them access to our network. Following this we began to help UNICEF by communicating their campaigns to our clientele.
In 2011, we offered free outplacement and counselling services to UNICEF employees in Russia wherein shared our valuable insights on local labour market and offered comprehensive advice on individual career development.
We are constantly looking for ways to help draw attention to UNICEF and their work and use our website and social media groups actively for this purpose. Besides donating directly to UNICEF and purchasing UNICEF merchandise, we also organize donation boxes during our events. As a client focussed company, we decided to involve our clients in charitable activities by donating a fixed amount to UNICEF each time they complete a CSS survey for SpenglerFox.
