Testimonials

Sumant Kumar

Regional Human Resources & Organisational Development Partner, Asia Region, Plan International


“Plan International recently used the services of NGO Recruitment, and that of Lois Freeke in particular, for the recruitment of a Pacific Program Director in our Asia Pacific Region. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Lois and would certainly engage her again in the future. Lois was able to provide a timely and efficient, yet personal service, that not only was successful, but left all stakeholders feeling very connected to the process.  

She remained in regular contact with me at all stages of the process, so that if I ever had a question or concern, she readily responded. She was also extremely proactive, and was able to highlight any concerns, before they became an issue. Finally, last but not least, the pool of applicants she was able to provide was outstanding, and exceeded our expectations. All in all, it was an excellent experience, from start to finish, and I would recommend Lois and NGO Recruitment to others. “
