I’d definitely recommend Dwayne Allen, who reached out to me last autumn and played a key role in helping me secure my current position at Satellogic. … His professional yet personal approach made a real difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering a career move, or to any organisation looking for a recruiter who genuinely looks after their candidates.

I worked with Dwayne recently on a senior technical / commercial role that required a complex and very niche profile, which I had been unable to fulfil on my own. Dwayne was fantastic in delivering top tier candidates (including the person we ended up hiring) and managing the process end to end. I will continue to work with Dwayne for complex recruitments moving fw and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with a similar need.
