Client Testimonials
Citadel Search had worked closely with me to draft a concise and clear specification for the role to be filled. They were tasked with finding a number of high calibre candidates and screening them prior to presenting a shortlist to meet my executive management team. Citadel Search completed these stages swiftly and within a short time, submitted 5 candidate CV's for review. The quality and experience of each candidate were excellent and each was accompanied with a comprehensive candidate profile. Prior to the interviews, I had originally wanted to short-list 2 candidates to present to my executive management interview panel. The calibre of all 5 was so impressive that I decided to take 4 through to the next stage. Following the final stage, we were able to choose an excellent candidate who matched both our technical and cultural requirements.I was also impressed by the accuracy of candidates' profile reports, their capabilities and the rapport Citadel Search had with each candidate. This helped build trust quickly, increasing the pull factor for my organisation. We used Citadel Search effectively in helping us attract our chosen candidate and negotiate a set of terms that both parties were very happy with. In addition, I am very satisfied that your organisation has acted as an excellent ambassador for us. We are very happy to recommend and act as a referee for Citadel Search as a key asset in all recruitment activities.
Darren Hall

Citadel was able to differentiate itself from the many search companies in the industry through their effective listening to the voice of the customer. Almost all of the candidates provided were of close fit and were shortlisted for interviews. I would recommend Citadel to any HR Business Partners who are looking forward to searching for niche positions.

Candidate Testimonials
I first met Cindy in 2009 shortly after relocating to Singapore and as a candidate of Citadel Search. Right from my first interactions with Cindy, I found her to be different from many headhunters I've dealt with, her approach, personable style and professionalism made the whole interview preparation all that much easier and effective. For me, it's easy to differentiate between an exceptional search consultant and all the rest. Its the one that makes you feel important irrespective whether you're a candidate in need or a client with hiring needs. Her approach in this area is rare and as a client, you know that Citadel is not just after the professional fees, but to really service your needs and as a candidate she's there for you, marketing you, selling your skills to clients and finding you that next opportunity.

Citadel Search changed my impression of Recruiters. You cared about my interest and gave me personal attention which I had never experienced from other Recruiters. My consultant took the time to get to know me and to make sure my personal and professional goals could be met by the opportunity before presenting me as a candidate. My consultant went the extra mile throughout the entire process. Without his counsel, this opportunity would not be mine today. He made my experience a truly pleasant one.

Citadel Search's consultant contacted me for a Customer Experience role and was genuinely sincere in helping me prepare and secure for the role. They were fast in wanting to get to know me and profiled me up and with their guidance, I also managed to impress during my interview which eventually helped secure the job offer. I hope to be able to work again with them in the near future for new opportunities. Highly recommended as well!

Clara Tan
Customer Experience Associate
I've had have job applications with many job agents but Citadel Search is very different from the others. They went through pre-interview sessions for me to prepare myself thoroughly, and I've told all my friends you are very professional. I thought our communication would end once I started the role, but you have been following up regularly, especially when you know I had difficulties settling in. I'm glad that I have learnt the job processes and I'm now heading towards my 3rd month in the role and hopefully many more years in this company. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the care, concern and encouragement for the past 2 months. And most of all, your trust in me that you didn't throw away my application form due to my age. Thank you very much for getting me this job.

Cindy is very different from other head-hunters, not only she is patient, willing to put in extra effort to help her clients but more importantly, it is the sincerity in her that is a thumb up!
Christina L.
Compensation & Benefits Manager
The consultant has been very helpful in getting me a job when I was urgently looking for a job at that moment. He actually found my profile and recommended me to a job which is close to what I was doing previously. In fact, he profiled me to the best of what he could and managed to persuade the management to convert the initial 6-months contract to a permanent position. He also provided me with resources that help me better understanding of the company that I am working with now, making the interview so much easier and smooth. He is the best recruiter that I have met so far - as he understands the past experiences that I have gained and matched me to the position that I am very familiar with. I would strongly recommend him, as he is not just as a recruiter but indeed a good friend who will still keep in touch with you throughout your career.
Linda A.
Database and IT System Administrator
My experience with Citadel Search was exceptional. The consultant was friendly at first sight. From initial contact until she successfully placed me into a Marketing Role, she consistently supported me in my applications. She went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. She provided insights and techniques of how I should describe individual job experience with straight to the point statements -this is useful and applicable for any job interview. It will be a pleasure to recommend them to anyone looking to start a career.
