Our Successes

"We were looking to make a few important hires at Thiess and have had a stellar experience with Robert Walters in filling two of such roles. The recruitment consultant that worked with us embodied professionalism at every step of the process. They provided us with clear guidance on what to expect, and only presented candidates that were a good match for us. For any organisation looking to make their next senior management hire, I highly recommend partnering with Robert Walters to find the best fit for your team."

Nurman Susilo, Country HR Manager - THIESS
"Have been having RW as NAOS Indonesia recruitment agency since 2017. And have recruited many talents that suit to the roles and company requirements. The recruitment processes are managed professionally and prompt. I like the follow-ups done by the consultant after each set of tasks to understand the results and getting feedback. Most of the candidates presented are of high qualification hence this makes the interview and selection process much more manageable. Coordinating interview time between candidates and especially with regional interviewees are managed smoothly. It has been a pleasure working with Annisa."

Iman Solichin, Vice President - NAOS
"Ash is very reliable, and always tried his best to cope with my crazy schedule and last-minute request. He managed the overall recruitment process well, constantly reminded me on things I needed to follow up, and he made it easy for us. Which is all what every clients are hoping for. I won’t lie, I had doubt at first and I always have such high expectations as an ex-headhunter myself. But he nailed it. Cheers to (hopefully) more business in the future. Good luck!"

Their rapid grasp of our complex requirements, the efficiency of their working style and the far above average outcome has made it a pleasure to work with them and I am look forward to working with them on future projects."

Stefan Ewers, Director - Rodl & Partner
"It has been a pleasure to have been working with Robert Walters, and I have been particularly impressed by their professionalism, diligence and responsiveness. In a short period of time, Rika and her team were able to understand the needs of our growing organization and what we look for in future employees. With a detailed understanding of the market, wide network of talents as well as understanding of the candidates needs, she was successful in partnering with us and fulfilled 5 senior level placements in our company over the past year. Their impeccable track record, coupled with a friendly and personable team keeps us looking forward to this partnership."
