"Propella’s USP is the quality of consultants that it recruits and the way they constantly skill them to understand businesses, manage stakeholders and approach headhunting as a process. They go out of their way to partner with their clients and make every penny spent on recruiting through Propella, worth the same by mapping the business needs to the candidate profiles and advising clients on the best fit in terms of the skills available. I worked with them to source against some niche skills and it was a pleasure to see the consultants taking an effort to understand businesses and source sharp profiles matching the needs. It is a pleasure working with this dynamic and vibrant team."
