A recruiter's track record is measured not only by the initial appointment filled, but also by the subsequent career success of individuals placed. With over 25 years' specialist experience, Harry Chryssaphes has consistently identified "fast track" finance talent for clients. It is a source of great pride to note the number of individuals whose careers have been influenced through a key "pivotal" appointment - leading to successful progression not only within the original client, but later in time also marking them out as targets for other employers. Some "then and now" examples are set out below. This list of a very small segment (ie. selected past “placed” candidates only) also serves to illustrate the depth and breadth of our network database:
