“The indirect tax world is very small, but recruiting in such a niche sector can present challenges for organisations. I’m driven by being the problem solver.”
Why Work with Alex?
- Candidates trust him. 79% of the candidates he’s placed worked exclusively with him during their job search, without needing to apply elsewhere or contact other recruiters.
- Clients trust him. 70.4% of Alex’s business comes from repeat clients, with 61.5% returning for retained or exclusive services.
- Alex holds a 100% success rate on all retained or exclusive assignments.
- On average, Alex engages with 130-200 passive candidates per search (top VAT specialists aren’t found on job boards!). In fact, 66% of his placements weren’t actively job searching when he first reached out.
- With at least one-third of his placements being cross-border moves, Alex taps both domestic and international tax markets to ensure no stone is left unturned in every search.
