  • We had a great experience with Mission Talent. Our ask was pretty complex: we wanted candidates who have experienced forced displacement, and between our Board CEO Transition Committee and our 8-member interview panel, there were A LOT of Asylum Access stakeholders involved in this process. Mission Talent navigated our situation beautifully and really understood Asylum Access’ values and approach. The fact that we had such a successful process and outcome is a testament to Mission Talent’s ability to tailor the process to the specific needs of our organization. We loved Mission Talent so much that we subsequently hired you to help lead our CFO hiring process as well!

  • Working with the expert team at Mission Talent is true partnership; they are very good at listening to the unique needs of the organization as well as understanding its culture and values; and then filtering their search for candidates through these lenses. Our experience with MT was excellent – their strength in understanding the candidates and their ability to proactively go and find the right fit for WITNESS was impressive. The core strength of this diverse and value-driven team is the specific expertise in understanding and matching both the organizational fit and the candidate’s aspirations.

  • Anabella has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process! I have never met such a professional and dedicated recruitment person. I cannot thank her enough for her full support, for believing in me, for coaching me on the STAR technique and for helping me start a new chapter of my professional career! Anabella, you are brilliant at what you do. Mission Talent has definitely restored my faith in recruitment agencies. It was indeed a pleasure interacting with Anabella and Mwende. Both consultants were friendly, approachable, helpful and understanding demonstrating professionalism and passion. I appreciate the quick response, efficiency and prompt follow-up to my requests.

  • It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Lin who represents Mission Talent and was the key recruitment consultant for my current role with World YWCA. I was amazed by the rigour they put into the recruitment process which was not just consultative but also mindful of my needs and requirements. At each step, Mission Talent lent support to make me understand the role, answering all my questions and even taking time out to share tips before my interview to help me prepare better. I highly recommend Mission Talent to anyone seeking specialized roles in the development sector!
