  • Adrian Crawford
    Director Research & Development

    "There are not enough superlatives in English to truly express the professionalism, quality, and tireless endeavour of Adaptive. Every single touch-point from initial conversation to package negotiation is effortless for them. They deliver value on top of deep domain knowledge of a rapidly evolving industry. If Adaptive commit, they close. I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Adaptive to anyone. To put it simply, you will not regret it."

  • Thomas Seitz
    Managing Director

    “Recruiting for vacancies in the area of engineering and technical service has been a major challenge for us in the past. Long recruitment times, the pre-selection of unsuitable candidates and the final filtering of core competencies took up a lot of our resources.I would highly recommend Adaptive as an excellent recruitment agency. Adaptive provided us with competent, comprehensive, and professional support in filling the position of the second service technician at VISIONIX Deutschland GmbH."

  • Jared Cardon
    Director, QRC

    “Rebecca, at Adaptive, is the rare recruiter who can make the recruiting and hiring process as pleasant as possible. She was a delight to work with and I'm still stunned at the turn around time from initial contact to signed contract. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

They take the time to listen carefully to the specific needs of clients and only suggests candidates who truly align with those requirements.

I’m thrilled with the new team members they have brought to us—they are a perfect match for both our professional needs and our company culture."

  • Jana Goss
    Head of Regulatory

    “Working with you, Rebecca, can only become a success story for everybody. You don't see your engagement as simply passing on job offers at will, but look very specifically at what an employer needs and what a potential employee can give. It is not only about the professional component, but also about the extent to which the job and the place of work fit the personal and private situation of a candidate”

Paige always takes the time to understand the specifics of each role we've hired for and it really shows through in the quality of the talent we've interviewed - and many whom we've eventually hired! Highly recommend Adaptive Digital for any hiring managers looking for top candidates."

Via Adaptive Globalization and Alex Ross-Scott, we sought a Chief Revenue Officer who had the critical commercial expertise in L&D SaaS, to play a key role in shaping our future ambitions and growth. Alex was attentive, took the time to understand our requirement and presented us with an excellent shortlist of candidates meeting the key criteria we had highlighted. He was professional and diligent in his approach and follow-through and helped us secure an excellent candidate. I would strongly recommend Alex and Adaptive Globalization to support any recruitment opportunity"

    "Working with Adaptive over the past decade has been more than just a professional collaboration—it has felt like having a true partner by my side. They took the time to understand not only my career goals but also my strengths, ensuring that each role he recommended, including my placements as General Manager DACH at Acolad and Managing Director at XTRF, was a perfect fit where I could bring real value. Throughout the process, Adaptive were always available, providing thoughtful guidance and support at every stage. Their communication was consistently fast, clear, and thorough, creating a sense of trust and reliability. I always knew that I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about my success. Beyond just a spot on market knowledge, Alex brings a personal touch to negotiations, offering honest, balanced advice that benefits everyone involved. He listens, strategizes, and ultimately makes you feel confident in the decisions you make together. I highly recommend Alex and Adaptive to anyone seeking not just a recruitment service, but a trusted partner who is there for you every step of the way."

    "From being recruited myself into a senior leadership role by Adaptive, to continuing to use them for my own specialist AI sales hires, I have nothing but good things to say about the AG team. The preparatory time taken to understand the role requirements, the skill set, the team the candidate is joining, the style of leadership and company culture. All this results in excellent candidates being presented and subsequent quality hires who have remained with me."
